Traitor Legion Loyalists: Difference between revisions
(Carcharodons are confirmed Raven Guard successors you fuckwits. Brutal precision strikes aren't a Night Lords thing so much as a Space Marine thing, and they certainly aren't 'heavily implied' to be Kurze's kids like the Magpies are to be Magnus'.) |

As the name indicates, this article is about those Space Marines who stayed loyal to the Emperor and the Imperium despite hailing from the Traitor Legions. While most of the information is just hints, this is a matter that has been popping up every now and then since a few years ago.
The Origin of the Blackshields comes from the Horus Heresy, where a marine with no emblems or markings can petition to join with the Deathwatch, no questions asked. Although rare, this indicates that there were enough for such a tradition to begin with.
Those groups with enough numbers, or perhaps ties to the right people, were able to pass themselves off as successors of other chapters after the Second Founding. Or their founders purged and changed their own records, so that over time, no one within the chapter knows who their true progenitor is (which can lead to some fun times when an inquisitor comes across evidence that it occurred).
Generic armies of them can be fielded in 30K with the Orphans of Betrayal Rite of War.
