Commander Dominis Faust Commander of the Dark Knights. Faust was once a member of the Inner Circle of the Dark Angels. The Dark Angels high command instituted a new policy of Stand and Die. This philosophy contradicted the fighting style of Faust and his Chapter. Having received orders that would have condemned His Chapter and an Imperial Guard Army on Ceti Alpha VI Faust held the planet until it it was no longer feasible. |
Command Squad Faust's Command Squad accompanies either Faust or Librarian Tiberius Marcus. The Command Squad is mounted in their Razorback. The Squad is almost always used as a fire base unit. Armed with two Missile Launchers, Command Squad is a much needed supporting unit for the Troops., and a Storm bolter. |
Librarian Tiberius Marcus, Master Librarian of the Dark Knights, is the usual tactical Commander of the Dark Knights. While Faust is the overall Commander it is Tiberius that will most often be seen on the battlefield. Tiberius carries either a Force Sword or Power Sword depending on the Battle. He also carries a Storm bolter and has a psychic Hood. If Tiberius is in sole command of the mission he will then attach himself to the main Command Squad. |
Not wishing these brave troopers face a senseless death or even worse, capture, at the hands of a large Chaos Army Faust withdrew from the area. Faust carries a power sword, Iron Halo, and a Storm bolter |
5th Tactical Transport If Faust accompanies the landing force Tiberius will attach himself with the 5th Tactical Squad. The 5th is Tiberius's own squad. Years past, when he was a Squad Leader and Faust was a Sergeant the Marines of the 5th were their old troopers as well as the Command Squad. These men are their most closest and loyal troopers. As such the 5th is the only squad outfitted in the distinct Librarian Blue. |
Dark Knight Chaplains The Master Chaplain Casius Lecraxius [Right] commands the Chaplains and the Terminator Squads. Lecraxius carries a Rosarius, his Crozius and a Storm Bolter. Senior Chaplain Bassus Veranus [Left] Commands the 7th and 8th Assault Squads. He is also armed with a Crozius. |
The 1st squad is the Oldest Terminator Squad. The 1st is armed with Storm Bolters, Assault Cannon, and a Heavy Flamer. 2nd Life Guard Terminators. 2nd Squad is the Elite Assault Squad Terminator Unit. The 2nd Squad is armed with Storm Shields and Thunder Hammers as well as the deadly lightening claws. When in Battle the two squads will usually combine their assaults in order to form a very deadly Shoot and crush Unit. The Main Terminator Attack Force is the 3rd Guard Terminator Squad. These Marines are a standard Terminator Attack Squad. Armed with Storm bolters, Power Fists, Heavy Flamer and Missile Launcher this is a very tough and large squad of Terminators. |
He Carries a Master Crafted Plasma Pistol, Rosarius and Jump Pack. Chaplain Aemius Scarus [Centre] is the Junior Chaplain and carries the normal Rosarius, Crozius and Storm Bolter but he rides his Original Bike he received years prior to the Separation. Aemius rides alone. |
