ARKYRUSGRANDMASTER OF THE BLACK TYPHOONS

The WarpDuring the fateful events that happened on the day of thedestruction of Caliban and the fall of the traitors, one of theBrethren was amidst the thick of the fighting. Arkyrus was aKimonean that had been recruited into the Dark Angels in thetime after the Great Crusade, and was one of the Chaptersmost trusted sergeants. During the final battle between thechaos-ridden Luther and the great Primarch, Lion ElJonson, acataclysmic warp rift opened and threw the Fallen far andwide across the universe. However, it also took one and onlyone of the faithful Dark Angels. Arkyrus. He was swept awayonto the far-fallen planet of Fearan VI. He was cast therewhile an entire millennia past, seeming only the blink of an eyeto Arkyrus. He was not sought after by his Brethren, as theyfeared him dead. He decided to make the long journey to Terrato see the High Lords for he had one thing on his mind. Not torejoin the Dark Angels, but to create his own chapter whowould concentrate on destroying the forces of chaosespecially those of the Fallen. It took him many a year, buteventually he reached Terra. During this time he discoveredthat his abilities had been increased greatly, due to the warptravel.

The High LordsWhen Arkyrus reached Terra, he put forward a petition to theHigh Lords of Terra, to create his own chapter. Before hecould even be considered for such a request, Akryrus had toundergo rigorous screens and checks to test his faith to theEmperor and prove that he had not been corrupted by histravels, for there was much suspicion surrounding the eventsof his past. Eventually the High Lords granted his wish, and sothe Black Typhoons were created as an almost successorchapter of the Dark Angels. Since their creation, underArkyrus leadership they have fought in many a campaignalone or alongside the Dark Angels, or other Unforgiven

chapters. They are merciless in the face of their enemies andwill never fail to stand their ground, for they are thededicated enemies of Chaos and the Fallen and will doanything to destroy them.

Felruss KraanMaster of the 1stCompany

Master at armsKraan was born on a deathworld where the only chance ofsurvival lay in mastering the art of combat, honing his skillsto perfection over the decades. When the black typhoonscame to his homeworld in search of recruits, they held agladiatorial contest so as to select the best aspirants. Kraandestroyed anyone and everyone he faced, making him theundisputed champion. At the end of the tournament, kraan wasaccepted as an initiate, but that was not enough for him.Feeling his blood lust had not been satisfied by the poorcompetition he had faced, he demanded to challenge thegreatest warrior in the chapter. After a short debate, the

wish was granted, and none other than Arkyrus, chaptermaster and veteran of many millennia, stepped forward toaccept his challenge. The fight was long and well fought, butArkyrus was holding back, and after many hours, kraanfinally faltered, giving Arkyrus the opening he needed,finishing the combat with one blow. Fortunately for the youngwarrior, Arkyrus was not insulted by the challenge on hishonour, and trained Kraan as his personal bodyguard. Aftermany decades of service, and saving Arkyrus life on manyoccasions, he was finally promoted to master of the 1stcompany, a reward above all others, and the company hascontinued to achieve victory after victory under his command.

MercurusMaster of the Thunder Riders

The MaelstromMercurus homeworld of Helix alpha is situated on the brinkof the Maelstrom, a warp storm near the centre of the knowngalaxy. It was here where Mercurus was raised, and when theBlack Typhoons visited for recruitment, mercurus wasamongst one of the first admitted.

BlackheartIn the 41stmillennium, the traitor renegade known as HuronBlackheart escaped the Imperium and, protected by the DarkGods, settled in the Maelstrom. He wreaked havoc on theneighbouring worlds including Helix Alpha. Mercurus swore

revenge on those who had killed his family and destroyed hishomeworld, especially Huron Blackheart.

MasterMercurus quickly rose up the ranks of the Black Typhoons,becoming Master of the legendary Thunder Riders just over adecade ago. His hatred for Huron has never failed, and he hasled countless battles against Hurons forces, but never oncemet him in combat, something he dearly wishes to do.

ANDRIALMASTER OF THE 3rdCOMPANY

WorthyAndrial was taken into the Brethren from the death world ofHydraphur, on the brink of the roiling Eye of Terror. It wassubject to many attacks over millennia, meaning theupbringing there was extremely harsh. This meant thatAndrial grew up a hardened individual, shunning the outsideworld. His life was changed forever when his family weremercilessly slaughtered in Abbaddons 10thBlack Crusade.From that day forth, Andrial swore revenge on those whomurdered his family. He joined the Black Typhoons and quicklyascended through the ranks, becoming the Master of the 4thcompany within a century.

To BattleAndrial has led the 4th company to victory in many a campaignincluding the Medusa campaign. However, his best was still tocome in Abbaddons 12thBlack Crusade. Hydraphur had fallenin days, along with various other worlds on the edge of theEye of Terror. To blunt the attack, the Imperium stood enmasse against the invaders across a front line spanning threestar systems. Space Marine stood alongside guardsman andeven the lowliest scribe. It was on the lonely planet ofVrragon VI that Andrial and the 4thCompany made their stand.His valiant company destroyed attacking hordes, demons and

traitors alike. In the midst of the swirling melee Andrial stoodin hand to hand combat with the daemon prince. The foulcreature struck Andrial a grievous blow, which enraged him.He got to his feet and decapitated the beast, whichdisintegrated instantly. In that instant the assailing demonsvanished and the traitors began to turn and flee knowing thatdefeat was at hand, routed in an instant.

Master of InitiationNow past his prime, although still formidable in combatandrial takes command of the scout company instead of the 4th

so that he is able to pass on what he knows to the nextgeneration of warriors. On occasion, he joins the company inbattle, armed with the fated power swords, as well as histrusty master-crafted sniper rifle that he has felled many amonster with.

ARESMaster of the Death Company

ChildhoodAs a child, Ares was violent and unstable person. He shunnedattention, preferring to live on his own. When the BlackTyphoons made their name in the Medusa campaign, he soughtto join their ranks. For many years he travelled to find thembefore finally arriving, coincidently on a planet at the sametime that the Black Typhoons were recruiting there.

The StrainWhen the gene seed was implanted into Ares, deviations andmutations began to appear. The Inner Circle met anddiscovered it was corrupted due to the Warp. However,

instead of destroying the gene-seed (and Ares), they decided toutilise this, and created a company especially for those withWarp Rage the Death Company. Whether this corruption wascaused by the strands of Blood Angels gene-seed used, or theinfluence of the warp upon the chapters homeworld.

The Death CompanyThe Death Company was created to accommodate those withthe Warp Rage strain of gene-seed. They are bezerkers, andare highly feared enemies. They are lethal in combat, for theyare fearless, as they know that they have no option but to

fight or die. Armed with a fearsome array of weaponry, theycharge into combat without thought, their intent only toutterly destroy their enemy. On occasion, Warp Rage willenvelope them and they will assault anyone in their way friend or foe. There are also Death Company dreadnoughtswho may be equipped with an additional dreadnought closecombat weapon, instead of a main ranged weapon.

Wolfram GunderinMaster of the 10thcompany

MarsGunderin had been a serving marine in the Black Typhoons formany centuries as part of the 8thtactical support company,boasting veteranship of countless crusades. However, afterAbaddons infamous 5thcrusade, Mars, the forge world ofterra, came under siege from a force of Iron Warriors. Aspart of the army that went to combat the fleet, Gunderin waspart of an assault on a chaos-held plasma generator whichwas key to the survival of the alpha legion forces. However,as the attack took place, it became apparent that the chaosforces had long since withdrawn, whilst setting the

generator to detonation. Seeing the danger to his colleagues,Gunderin, despite having no commanding authority, demandedall others leave whilst he tried to defuse it. Unfortunately,as the last man escaped, Gunderin was not left with enoughtime to successfully prevent the explosion and was at theheart of the generator when the plant exploded, incineratingeverything within a 10 mile radius to a plasma-burnt husk.Extraordinarily, Gunderin survived, and was pulled from thewreckage days later.

Plasma WrathAfter this ordeal, gunderin was seen as a hero, and promotedto master of the 10thdevastator company, after his newfoundprowess with his plasma cannon, which he had customised sohe could hold it in one hand.Since then, he has commanded many a victory, often fellingenemy elites and commanders with a single well-placed shot,and his victories continue to amass, making him, as some wouldclaim, the supposed successor to Arkyrus as Chapter Masterwhen the time comes.

LibrariansIf there is one thing the institutions of the Imperium of Man are

vigilant for it is the mutant, and the Chapters of the AdeptusAstartes are, if anything, even more careful to ensure thattheir gene-seed is not polluted my mutation, other than thosewho can be used for the Death Company. The ChaptersApothecary rigorously screen potential recruits for any signof genetic deviation, but not all mutation is physical. Psychictalent is a mutation too, and is at once the most dangerous andthe most useful. Detecting and developing nascent Psykers isthe responsibility of the Chapters Librarium, removing thoserecruits whose mutation may prove unstable and nurturingthose who may one day have the potential to become one of the

Chapter Librarians.Like all Space Marine Librarians, those of the Black TyphoonsChapter bring prodigious psychic powers to battle, blastingtheir foes with the raw power of the Immaterium. When not atwar, the Black Typhoons Librarians are charged withrecording the Chapters history, preserving the victories anddefeats of the Chapter forever in their shadowy archives. Inbattle, Black Typhoons Librarians protect the Chapter fromthe psychic abominations of the enemy, keeping vigil againstdemonic attack. They direct their own, unearthly powersagainst the enemy, unleashing bolts of warp energy to rendand incinerate their foes, or conjuring horrors that freeze

the mind and goad even the sturdiest warriors into flight.

1st CompanyThe 1st Company are the finest warriors that the BlackTyphoons have to offer. It consists of Sternguard squads,Vanguard squads, and most importantly, terminator squads.They are the Chapters elite, and are there at the heart ofevery battle, or striking at the enemys heart, with a daringassault. The sternguards are specially trained to holdobjectives and form unbreakable defensive lines. They providethe companys fire support. The Vanguard squads are knownfor their daring assaults against impossible odds. It is theirjob to take out enemy heavyweights, and then fight their wayback through enemy lines, or hold out until reinforcementscan support them. However, most vitally, the terminators are

trained in the art of deep striking into the midst of the enemy,destroying enemy HQs and heavy vehicles with gunfire andassault alike. Many a war has been ended before it has begundue to a terminator Deepstrike. All of these units work as ateam, and rely on each other to support them where they aremore vulnerable. Felruss Kraan, the Master of the 1stcompany is the finest warrior of them all, hewing downenemies with his dreaded power sword, or controlling histroops with his superior tactics and wisdom. He is the besttactician in the Chapter, and his military prowess accountsfor the title of Master of the 1st Company.

The Thunder RidersThe Thunder Riders are the 2ndCompany of the Black Typhoonsand consist entirely of Brethren on Space Marine Bikes, SpaceMarine Attack Bikes, and Space Marine Land Speeders ofvarious types. They are formed into two types of squadronconsisting of ten men. The Attack squadrons consist of onesergeant on bike, five brethren on bikes, 2 in an attack bike,and two crewing the land speeder. The Support squadronconsists of 2 brethren in each of five land speeders.There are three variants of Land Speeder that the BlackTyphoons use: the Tornado with assault cannon, the Typhoon

with typhoon launcher, and the standard version. They do notuse the Storm variant as they do not field scouts in theThunder Rider Company, but instead in the independent 3rdscout company

The Thunder Riders main purpose is to aid the rest of theUnforgiven in the hunt for the Fallen, helping capturevarious ex-Dark Angels. However, when not on the Mission,they are used as a fast strike force in the various campaignsthat the Black Typhoons are fighting in, attacking swiftly atthe heart of the enemy, and departing before the enemy has achance to react. They are equipped with turbo-boosters to

utilise their speed on the battlefield, covering large areas toclaim objectives, or help a needy ally.

The (5th) Death CompanyThe Death Company is a company of Black Typhoons who havesuccumbed to Warp Rage, meaning they are no longer stableenough to serve in tactically selected squads, and serve asbezerkers to terrify and break enemy lines, as a last serviceto their chapter and Emperor. Warp Rage dates back to theFall of the Dark Angels, for when Arkyrus was suckedthrough the warp, the gene seed was mutated, putting theentire chapter at risk from a furious rage, where the victimcan only think of disembowelling the nearest foe. It is believedthat the Gene-seed was tainted by an agent of Khorne whoseized the opportunity to damage the forces of humanity with awell-placed deception. However, as this is not normallyKhornes way, it is believed that there could be other forces,

not necessarily chaos at play. For these reasons, the companymust be kept under strict supervision so as not to warrant anyinvestigation from the Inquisition, which would prove fatalfor the rest of the chapter. Therefore, the company is onlyused in times of great need, and under careful order. Whennot at war, the incapacitated members are locked away in adungeon system far in the depths of the chapters fortress-monastery, until they are needed. And for when they areneeded, the enemys knees begin to tremble

The Dark WatcherMaster of the 13thcompanyLegend

Very little is known about the Dark Watcher, except that his

history is very controversial and surrounded in mystery. It isbelieved that he is a Company Master that turned away fromthe Dark Angels chapter in the time after the Fall to persuethe Fallen on his own agenda. With him he took his band ofbrothers and led them on a campaign against his twistedformer comrades.

Gone for millennia, how he and his company have lived thislong is unknown, though excessive warp travel is suspected,passing through centuries in the blink of an eye. When hefinally returned to the Dark Angels, he felt his crusade hadbeen completed, and that the Dark Angels salvation was

close at hand. He refused to give reasons for his actions, butdemanded he be given a new crusade to be taken up.Coincidentally, the Warp Rage contamination of the 5thcompany of the Black Typhoons had almost been discovered bythe Ordo Malleus, and fearing similar events would happenagain, Grand Master Azrael entrusted the newly named 13thCompany with the task of watching over and protecting thesecret of the Death CompanySpecial Rules:See Entry Below

Wargear: See Entry below


48/57

The (13th) Watchful CompanyHistoryWhen it was discovered that there was a taint in the Gene-seed, and the Death Company formed, the Black Typhoonswere required for duty in the Halo Stars, where they decidedto debut the Death Company in battle. Unfortunately, membersof the Inquisition were present in the form of a Grey KnightJusticar and his squad. They saw the Death Company in actionand deemed it heretic, taking the fight to the Death Company.To prevent news reaching the High Lords about this, Arkyrusordered his men to dispatch the Grey Knights squad, whichthey did to great losses. From then Arkyrus vowed that hewould protect his tainted brothers from the Inquisition no

matter what, and so created the 13thcompany to be preparedfor such a threat, earning them the title the WatchfulCompany. In the 40thMillennium, the Dark Watcher and hishistory were discovered, making him master of the company.For this reason, the other companies distrust and keep acareful eye on the company, though they are rarely seen inbattle. There has never been a recorded case of conflictbetween the 13thcompany and the Inquisition, but times arechanging, and situations could occur

Famous Battles

The Kyrsta Beta Uprising:

In the latter of the 41st Millenium, the Black Typhoons 7th company was sent to

quell a rebellion on Kyrsta Beta. Within weeks, the planet had been brought backunder control, though with higher than expected civilian casualties. CompanyMaster Castus orchestrated the entire campaign, but was unsettled by recordedditsturbances and reports of pirate raids in the local vicinity. Instructing his mento take up defensive positions at the largest Hive, Castus took the three assaultsquads, and his personal command squad to scout out the area.

Almost 12 hours after the Company Master had departed, a fleet of nearly 20raiders came screaming out of the dark sky, emitting screams of tortured slavesfrom hidden amplifiers. The local PDF was in no fit state to fight, leaving the fullbrunt of the assault to the 7th. The sound of harsh bolter fire and screamingxenos filled the air. Though sorely pressed, the Typhoons fought like men

possessed, fighting until the last possible moment before retreating to saferpositions. Despite their best efforts, the company was slowly pushed back to thewals of the hive, the Dark eldar's raiders and hellions screaming past, taking thelives of many as they went. Then, out of nowhere, a lone thunderhawk camescreaming over the horizon. Immdiately, the xenos turned their heaviest lanceweaponary on the new threat. crippling the mighty craft. Engines aflame, thethunderhawk plummeted towards the Archon's graceful raider, missing it mymetres, before crashing into the ground and was obliterated. At first, the 7thlooked on in dismay, but then, looked again to the skies....For the Thunderhawk had been transporting the scouting party, led by none otherthan Castor himself. As soon as the craft had been close enough to the xenos'ships, then he, the assault squads, and his personal jump pack command squadhad leaped clear of the burning wreck, and came down upon the soaring raiderslike angels of fire. At the heart of the boarding action, Castor came face to facewith the Archon. With his command squad slowly wearing down the bodyguard,Castor went for the lord, lightning claws ablaze. Though the xenos was quick andagile, he was no match for the Company Master in full wrath, who tore the upstartpirate apart in a flurry of swings. With the fall of their lord, the xenos began topanic, giving the devestator squads at the walls of the Hive enough time to targetthe unboarded raiders, bringing them down in a series of well-aimed missiles.With no means of escape, the remaining pirates were soon run to the ground.With the end of the xenos assault, the 7th departed to fight anew, in yet anothercampaign, though their newfound eldar-fighting skills would come very much inuse.

Skultoof's folly:

The campaign against Waagh Skultoof was the last time the Black Typhoons hadfought as a chapter, and the first since the Second War for Armageddon. The orWaagh had already claimed several systems, and the Black Typhoons'


55/57

homeworld was now under threat of invasion, so Arkyrus recalled all companiesto fight off the alien menace. The campaign had been going well, and was nowpinnacled on a single, great battle on the edge of the Black Typhoons'homeworld system.Directed by the chapter master, the battle companies took up defensive positions

across the wide, open battlefield, supported by the 10th and 12th, with the 11thprepared for counter assault actions. The Thunder Riders would perform hit andrun attacks against superheavies, whilst the 3rd, and veteraned 6th companieswould act as forward skirmishers, demoralising ground troops and taking out highprofile targets.The primary assault by the orks, sent the Black typhoons' defence reeling, as thesheer weight of numbers overwhelmed defensive positions. It took a determinedand bloody counter from the reserve held Death Company, lead by Ares himselfto break the ork charge, supported by the company veterans from the presentbattle companies. As times looked grim for the defenders, a sudden series offireball on the horizons sparked hop in the men. This was the sign that the

Thunder Riders had been successful in their mission of denying the orkssuperheavy support from stompas and skulhammas. However, a second assaultwas inevitable, and the surviving marines would not stand up to much longer,even with the potent defence of the mighty heroes present, even including theKeeper's Wrath and Ashmael himself.But as the second assault came charging across the plains. a volley of preciselyaimed shots came from the hilltops to the side, detonating a series of carefullyplaced charges right in the path of the ork assault. The 3rd and 6th had predictedthe crudeness of the ork tactics, and the exlosives seared through the alienranks, causing devastating casualties. But then, out of the smoke and debris,came what seemed to be a walking wall...

A whole formation of what must of been 300 ork walkers came marching over thecorpses of the fallen, with numerous battlewagons and trukks behind. This wasthe vanguard of the ork army, and the very sight sent doubt coarsing through theminds of the defenders. The force of the assault pushed the defenders furtherand further back, taking horrific casualties as it did. The 9th Company Master fellin that assault, in hand to hand combat with an ork dreadnought. As did the 4thcompany Chaplain, and Librarian Fallus... The list of the dead grew with everystep. Even a rallying defence orchestrated by Gunderin could only pause the orkadvance, before falling apart.

And then, from behind, a roar of engines... The Thunder Riders had arrived! Andwith them, down came the 1st company, via drop pod, jump pack and teleporter,led by none other than Arkyrus himself, and with Felruss Kraan at his side. Thestrength of the assault against the wall of the remaining defenders (nowsupported by the 3rd and 6th), broke the back of the ork advance. Arkyrus torethrough the ranks of orks with melta and flamer fire, finishing survivors off with aslice from his gauntlets, until he reached the warboss himself. Easily dodging thewarboss' cumbersome blows, Arkyrus shredded the ork's torso, beforedecapitating him in one fell swoop, burning the body for good measureafterwards. Little did the Chapter master know that his life had been saved once

again By Felruss Kraan, who had smote an ork dreadnought to ruin with hismighty thunder hammer, just as it motioned to come bearing down upon thedistracted Arkyrus.With their leader gone, and most of the kans destroyed by the terminator squads,the survivors were left to mop up the remaining mobs of orks, with the clean up

operation continuing well into the remainder of the century.

The Machtine Incursion:

The 3rd scout company has been led by the celebrated Master Andrial for wellover two centuries, but none remembers his actions more than during theMachtine Incursion of M41.7. It had become known to the Black Typhoons' highcommand that Alpha Legion infiltrators were attempting to corrupt an entire sub-sector, and so tasked Andrial's 3rd to counter-infiltrate and eliminate the AlphaLegion presence.Having carefully planned his mission, Andrial began slowly identifying the

Legionnaires, building up a picture of the infiltration. When the picture wascomplete, the scale of the corruption was shocking. Not only did the AlphaLegion have eyes in almost every planetary government, it also had the localPDFs in full support (though unwittingly). From previous experience, Andrialknew that neither direct confrontation or taking out the leader of the operationwould do any good. So Andrial carefully planned a series of events that wouldunmask the conspiracy and turn the populace against the infiltrators.

After months of preparation, Andrial had timed his op so that when the AlphaLegionnaires were preparing for a ritual daemon summoning that would end theImperium's control over the sub-sector. Such timing was risky, but Andrial knewthe success of the operation depended on it, as it would be the only time when allthe Legionnaires would be in one place. Having set up sniper sentries around allthe exits, and with scout bikers patrolling the streets, Andrial prepared hisskirmishers for a brutal assault at the height of the summoning. However, by thetime they reached the site, the summoning was virtually complete...Realising the imminent danger, Andrial rushed his men into the fray. Though the

Alpha Legionnaires were vicious fighters, they were taken completely unawares,and were quickly cut down. Unluckily for the scouts, the ritual had been able tosummon a greater daemon of Nurgle, which fell upon the skirmishers, who took50% casualties wthin 5 minutes. Calling his snipers in to help distract thedaemon, Andrial drew his fated pair of power swords and rushed into the fray.

Already wounded from various missile and sniper shots, it sluggishly turned toface him, its bulbous and putrified body stinking of disease and pestilence. As itturned, more scouts entered site, having left their bikes outside, and pumpedshot after shot of manstopper shells into its back. Andrial, knowing he woundhave to end this quickly, ran at the daemon, and jumped onto its flabby head.Hewing at it with his great power swords, the daemon bellowed and writhed, butstill he held on. Then at last, with one last swing, he plunged them both deep intoits head. The grip on the fabric of reality that the Daemon had disintegrated, and


57/57

it was sucked back into the warp, banished for 100 years and a day; anachievement worthy of a Grey Knight, let alone a scout company master.
