Vengeancewing highcommand veteran hunters found Aetherion on Yragael Urm, where eldar troops had staked out a claim, but also where the tomb of Athuan had been found. In the confused conflict, sadly the vengeancewing had to battle their erstwhile comrades, the spacewolves for control of the planet as a cover for their mission to investigate Aetherion's presence. Appearing to loose the battle for the planet, they however achieved their primary objective of capturing Aetherion and took him for trial. Lengthy interrogations and trials followed and it was found that it was in fact the enigmatic fallen angel called Cypher who had instigated the uprising on Zion Prime. Following a number of grueling tests and trials Aetherion was finally cleared and his command restored, the faith placed in him by the chapter been revealed by the fact that he was sent back to Zion to track down Cypher. |
The Vengeancewing-Darksword caught up with cipher on the mid sector world of Atragon, still accompanied by his Slaaneshi cult raiders. Aetherion led a furious assault to capture the arch-heretic. In the long and bloody chase that followed virtually all involved perished. Cypher was seen to be cut down by Aetherion's furious charge but strangely his body was never recovered. Aetherion was near fatally wounded in the assault but was rescued to rejoin the chapter. |

Command Recon Squad Grandmaster Zebulon's personal command squad. These veteran members were instrumental in first tracking and then capturing the fugitive librarian Aetherion on the world of Yragael Urm. Clad in their bone white robes these men are expert at tracking their fugitives and bringing the Lion's justice to them. |
Dreadnoughts Vengeancewing - Darsword forces on Kerrang included two venerable brother-dreadnoughts, one from the Vengeancewing and another from the millennia old Intterregnum Darksword, sporting their pre-heresy style dreadnought construct. |
On the world of Kerrang heavy fire support was provided by Sergeant Blacksbane's Devastators with un-erring accuracy while rapid reconnaissance was provided by a single landspeeder from the Ravenwing. |
