BATTLE COMPANY STRIKE FORCES |

The strike force currently has accesss to two rhino transports named Seraph Primus and Seraph Tertius. Both are usually equipped with additional storm bolters. The first Rhino usually carries squad Arbatel, the other is at free disposal for the other tactical squads or serves as a transport for squad Mikhael. |
Techmarine Yashiel seldomly takes part in the actual fighting. He is responsible for the maintenance of the vehicles of the strike force, a task that required his undivided attention during the later stages of the campaign. His most outstanding contribution to the strike force is the construction of Carnifex, the Kerberos pattern predator fielded by Pugnus Leonis. Yashiel carries the traditional weapons of his office - power axe, servo arm and bolt pistol. He lost his left arm in the explosion of a plasma cannon of a Night Lords dreadnought that he demolished in close combat 15 years ago, so the arm was replaced by a bionic arm. |
After the exhausting Medusa campaign the battle barge "Pugnus Leonis" carries only three remaining drop pods which brother Yashiel and his staff managed to restore to operation. Drop pod #1 is equipped for transport of dreadnoughts and usually carries Amuel to battle. The other two drop pods are at free disposal. |
SQUAD NURIEL |
LANDSPEEDER VENATOR & EXCURSOR The strike force has access to two independently operating tornado pattern land speeders from the second company. The first one is named "Venator" and is - after master Sammaels jetbike - the oldest piece of equipment still in the service of the Ravenwing. The second speeder is named "Excursor". Both speeders are highly valued in the strike force due to their death toll in every battle they took part so far. |

ASSAULT SQUAD HARADIEL |
SCRIPTOR RAZIEL Scriptor Raziel, equipped with jump pack, force axe and combat shield. He usually joins up with assault squad Hadariel. In the recent Rufus campaign he single handedly killed 3 tyrants of the involved tyranid swarm. ASSAULT SQUAD HARADIEL Although Assault Squad Hadariel is not officially assigned as Scriptor Raziel's honour guard, it usually fulfills that role. The pistol and the power fist wielded by brother sergant Hadariel, combined with 2 plasma pistols carried by fellow brethren are the usual equipment in campaigns against heavily armed opponents. |
