Librarian Lucius & Command Squad Librarian Lucius was chosen to be part of the command team for the expedition due to his supreme mastery of the psychic arts. His precognitive skills and extensive Index Astartes knowledge have made him an indispensable aide to Gabriel. Lucius' hand picked Command Squad were chosen for their extraordinary bravery and stubbornness for even Dark Angels. They are the very best of the Battle Companies, and also accept the honour of bearing the Sacred Standard of Fortitude. Lucius' Wings has been in service with the 5th Company for three hundred years and after it's last successful combat campaign was chosen for being the personal transport for Librarian Lucius. The addition of a chain of Land Raider tracks across its prow harks back to a previous campaign where fresh armour was in short supply. |

Strike Force Resolution Force Commander: Grand Master Gabriel of the 1st Company Force Structure: Elements from the 5th Company, Deathwing and Ravenwing Current Mission: Rapid Reaction Force, Armageddon sector, Segmentum Solar Consisting of Veteran elements of the 1st, 2nd and 5th Companies of Dark Angels, Strike Force Resolution is a newly formed formation currently on Rapid Response duties in the Armageddon Sector, Segmentum Solar. Recent engagements have been at the request of Inquisitorial and Adminsitratum agencies against select pockets of stiff Ork resistance. The Strike Force is also prepared for instant deployment to any region in the Segmentum following information regarding the Fallen. Since the recent Necron purging in the Equatorial Jungle around the Ancient Pyramid Imperial Artefact XE3-36, (http://www.armageddon3.com/english/campaign/Jungle/jungle.html) at the request of Inquisitor Lichenstein the Strike Force has been increasingly drawn away towards the edge of the Ocularis Terribus region following the Inquisitors information and request for armed reprisals on fresh Chaos uprisings. The Imperial Tarrot tells of great events to come, but the way is yet unclear for Strike Force Resolution. |
Grandmaster Gabriel & Deathwing Squad Retribution With overall command, Grand Master Gabriel leads the Strike Force. The secret agenda from the Inner Circle for finding the Fallen so close to the Eye of Terror region meant a Grand Master was needed. No other Grand Master other than Azrael himself has more combat experience than Gabriel himself at the current time, which is why the Inner Circle have choosen him for this expedition. Often forming a personal bodyguard for Gabriel and often spearheading an attack the Deathwing squad Retribution are a cornerstone of the Strike Force. Many a Chaos Covens leader has fallen to the Deathwing teleporting deep into the heart of their army and ripping it apart. Land Raider Redemptor (part of the 1st Company) joined the Strike Force after their initial departure from the Tower of Angels. It was immediately deployed against a massive Necron threat on Armageddon where it was severely damaged, but retained its operational capabilities. After a refit aboard the Force's Battle Barge, Redemptor is once again ready for service. |
Dreadnought Emarziel Dreadnought Emarziel is an ancient member of the 5th Company with 600 years of service behind him. His servo assisted power fist and twin-linked lascannons have toppled the most fearsome of foes and helped corner the most elusive of Fallen. |
