Strike Force Broadsword Three Thunderhawks chased the plasma trails of an orbital torpedo barrage into the atmosphere of the planet, streaking through the heavens like a meteor shower. The night gave way to day as the Gunships passed into the stratosphere, a sheen of hull ionization on their deep green armor. 40 000 feet above the twisted surface of the world, the barrage hit, throwing chunks of planetary crust nearly as high as the Thunderhawk wing. Retro thrusters screamed to life slowing the descent of the ships, as the landing gear deployed. All three ships slammed down in perfect formation and disgorged their contents onto the surface. Troops and tanks streamed with a fluidity only a space marine detachment can accomplish. |
Commander: Master Belial Captain Julian Belial has been in command of the DA chapter's 3rd company for over 6 decades. He first gained prominence in the eyes of his peers by single handedly felling a hive tyrant during an assault on hive fleet leviathan. It was his actions that allowed the few remaining members of his devastator squad to suppress the tyranid charge with heavy bolter and plasma fire. Once inducted into the deathwing, he learned the secrets of the chapter, and found new fire in his heart to redeem the chapters honor. Since taking command of 3rd company he has quickly earned a reputation as the dark angels most brutal leaders he has taken his devastator roots and applied them to his entire company accuracy is paramount in the third company, whether you are armed with a bolt pistol or las cannon. The 3rd company lays down massive amounts of suppressing fire in most |
Apothecary Julius Apothecary Julius has been in 3rd company since his inception into the apothecarion, he is one of belial's most trusted confidants, and an effective fighter in his own right. He distinguished himself in a battle with the eldar, in which he slew a fire dragon exarch who was preparing to burn the bodies of several marines, destroying their precious progenoid glands in the process. Several of the 3rd company's greatest fighters, including belial himself, owe Julius their lives many times over. |
Techmarine Magnus Techmarine magnus has the dubious distinction of surving the most direct hits to his person of any marine currently assigned to third company. He is fearless in battle, and is completely unwilling to let his tanks stop for anything less than a 50% loss of their mass. As he often finds himself standing next to a newly smoking tank out in the open, he is a common target for the enemy. His loving ministrations to his unique armor however seem to save him. |
The surface of the planet was jet black rock like it was formed of millions of boulders of obsidian The landscape seemed to absorb light it was like landing on a void. The stench of chaos permeated the very air. It was 30 seconds by the time the Thunderhawks roared back into the sky, leaving nothing but a cloud of smoke, debris, and humanity's mightiest warriors in their wake. Azrael surveyed the landscape as Strike Force Broadsword took up positions. He watched with admiration as his battle brothers moved with clinical precision to their assigned fire points. Looking over them at the landscape he was left with a feeling he was alien to anxiety. But as his command squad began barking orders to the troops he resolved himself to his mission. Looking down at his side, the watcher stood in silent vigil, bearing the sacred lion helm. Azrael knew the Lion watched over them still. Keying his comm., he announced: "Brothers welcome to the eye." |
