Strike Force Quintus

This Ravenwing force saw action initially fighting Eldar pirates on Port Ferdinand in the Carthusia system, supporting a joint Dark Angels Battle Group, under Quintus' command. After that successful engagement they were detailed as a  heavy recon force saw action during the expanded purging of the Carthusia system.

The Force was jointly led by Master Vindilus and Interrogator Chaplian Quintus, and was designed to perform both a scouting/intel gathering role, and a precision strike instrument. In this role they again battled the Eldar, but more importantly halted the advances of a Night Lords' Demon Prince and his Chqaos Marine warband, subsequently routing and destroying a very large supporting Blood Pact army.

These actions helped halt the Chaos incursion into the system, and began the steady advance of Dark Angels victories. The Strike Force saw its final action against another Chaos Marine force in the final days of battle for Carthusia II, once again eradicating the traitor formations.
Interrogator Chaplain Quintus

Quintus led a combined force of Dark Angel and Ravenwing Marines in a series of running Battles in the Purging of the Carthusia System. This was where his affinity for managing and directing Ravenwing tactics was again noticed. In these battles Quintus acted without his ever-present Assault Squad, performing the role of battle field general, but still utilizing his Jump Pack to be able to apply his considerable combat prowess in the right place at the right time. On Taras Red his forces drove off Dark Eldar Raiders, Quintus himself striking the killing blow on the evil Xenos' Archeron. On Alketus, Quintus was again wounded, but his Battle Plan and keen use of his forces' mobility routed the traitor marines from the field. Early in his career it was noted Quintus had an affinity for lightning strikes and flanking maneuvers utilizing the speed and mobility of the Assault Squads. When he demonstrated a high degree of inspiration and success maneuvering the Ravenwing element under his command, Quintus was short listed for a transfer. When the previous Chaplain of the Ravenwing fell in battle, Interrogator-Chaplain Quintus was promoted into the vacancy.
Ravenwing Master Vindulus

Master Vindilus is an unassuming man for a Marine commander, perhaps due to the slightly different role his forces usually play on the battlefield, but his tactical expertise is unquestioned. Whether on Bike or Speeder, this Master of the Ravenwing is able to orchestrate his forces to maximum effect.
The savage firepower of Vindilus' Speeder, and his supporting Melta escorts, combined to send the Night Lords' Demon Prince back to the Warp, while the daring flanking strike he led and unmatched skill with a blade against the Blood Pact army tied down half of their entire force, enabling the rest of the Ravenwing Force to destroy them piecemeal, and with minimul difficulty.
