Editing The Horus Heresy: Legions (section)

===Orphans of War===

Warlords: Atesh Tarsa, Endryd Haar, Ulrach Branthan, Nerat Kirine

Everyone's Exiled Echelons ; they form a Blackshield fighting force that gets access to the unique abilities of almost every legion (albeit at the time of their release). Their tactics are highly effective at messing around with the enemy, including mass copying and <s>(uniquely) STEALING</s> <s>(not since Nerat's debuff)</s> Pirate Raid still lets you do this) cards from the opponents deck, and their wide use of Stealth and Survivor means that they are surprisingly difficult to put down (again, thematically appropriate). However, they aren't so much a jack of all trades as a middling 9 and their lack of a consistent play dynamic can cause problems against a focused legion deck. They also rely on quite a bit on RNG in several of their units and tactics, making them more a gamble than most other legions. Several of their cards also generate troops and tactics from other decks, but again, this is randomly determined. Card stealing is also dependent on your opponents deck, although it's worth it to deprive the enemy of their trump card or wombo strategy maker.
