'''The Avenging Angels'''

The Imperium is beset on all sides by foes both external and internal, and it is a testament to the dire nature of these threats that sometimes they are able to overcome the armed forces of the Imperium. It has been reported that sometimes, after a particularly grievous or strategically significant defeat, Astartes have appeared to punish the enemies of mankind and make their victory short-lived. Following a similar tactical doctrine to their founders, the Storm Bringers, the Avenging Angels concentrate their efforts into one merciless strike into the heart of the enemy.

'''The Guillotine Guard'''

Whilst most Space Marines accepted the reformation of the Eyes of the Emperor, that forgiveness could be earned for their part in the betrayal of the Emperor and the subsequent death and destruction seemed unthinkable, especially given that their beloved Bohemond fell at Istvaan V. A schism was only prevented by a last-minute compromise suggested by (someone). The Eyes would be granted temporary forgiveness, and a delegation of the Justicarss' choosing would watch for any sign of taint or treachery until such a time as the Justicars felt that suitable penance had been carried out. 

It has now been over ten thousand years since the formation of the Guillotine Guard, recruited from veterans of the Battle Companies and rotated every few years. The Guillotine Guard stand watch over the Eyes, their mere name a reminder of the tenuous nature by which the Eyes of the Emperor still claim to be true servants of humanity. 

The Guillotine Guard integrate themselves into all castes of the Eyes of the Emperor. From being present at Councils of War with the Chapter Master and his closest confidantes to bolter drills, vehicle maintenance and even mealtimes it is not uncommon for a Guard to be standing in silent observation. It devotes extra attention to the training of recruits, and this area often comes under additional scrutiny. 

The Guard, whilst having a duty to observe the Eyes, are proud Marines and as such do not stand idly by in battle. They revel in the chance to shed the blood of their foes. Whilst they will not follow the orders of their supposed brothers, they do not interfere with their commands either and allow the Eyes to conduct themselves as they wish.
