My Warhammer 40K army

The following report has come from Cadia...


**BEGIN TRANSMISSION**

TO: Inquisitor Larkla (Ordo Malleus)
FROM: Inquisitor Thundrus
SUBJECT: The Dark Avengers
RECEIVED: 999.M41
CROSS-REFERENCE: Recent history of Imperial Forces on Cadia
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Ignorance breeds obediance.

The Dark Avengers 3rd Company, lead by Chaplain Horenduz, has arrived in the Cadia sector as part of their Crusade of Absolution.

The Dark Avengers are a second founding chapter, originally part of the Ultramarines Legion. The chapter still has very close ties with the Ultramarines as the Dark Avengers' home planet of Darkav IV is very near to Ultramar (cosmically speaking, of course.)

The 3rd Company undertook their Crusade of Absolution following the Armageddon War. The Dark Avengers were attacked and almost destroyed by a force of Ork Speed Freeks very soon after making planet fall on Armageddon and had to make a very hasty withdrawal. Chaplain Horenduz ordered that the company undertake a 100-year crusade to absolve them of this stain on their honour.

The Dark Avengers stand ready to help anywhere they can, and are eager to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Holy Emperor of Mankind.
