After the [[Horus Heresy]] and the splitting of the Legions into smaller Chapters during the 2nd Founding, the modern-day Scouts emerged replacing the Reconnaissance Squads completely.

	~~A Raven Guard~~-~~specific formation during~~ the ~~Great Crusade~~ and ~~Horus Heresy~~, ~~the Mor Deythan (aka: Shadow Masters)~~ are ~~essentially to Reconnaissance~~ Squads ~~the same way the latter are to Scouts~~. ~~The origin~~ of ~~these badasses stretches back to~~ the ~~times when Corax landed on Lycaeus (how Deliverance used to be called)~~ and ~~when he formed the repressed population there into his army of freedom fighters to battle the brutal overlords of Kiavahr~~. ~~After winning independence for the now renamed Deliverance~~, and the ~~collapse~~ of ~~Kiavahr due~~ to ~~civil war that resulted between the Tech-Guilds~~, ~~the Emperor arrived~~ and ~~revealed to Corax his origins~~. ~~The Primarch~~ of the ~~XIXth Legion~~, ~~now renamed~~ the ~~Raven Guard, took with him into his new army a number~~ of ~~rebels who wanted~~ to ~~stay with him. From among~~ them~~, the strongest~~ of ~~youths were turned into Legionnaires~~. ~~It were those Marines from which~~ the ~~Mor Deythan would emerge~~.		Crunchwise, they are Space Marines that like stealth and are tactical. The cheapest scoring unit, as they have the Line sub-type and cost 85 points, with the standard Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox and Augury scanner upgrades optional. However, they are Support Squads and cannot be taken as Compulsory choices. Though 85 points only nets you five men, they come with a lot of goodies. First, they have the Scout and ''Infiltrate'' rules, so they are flexible with deployment options. They also have Shroud Bombs, and so count as being 6" further for the purposes of trying to shoot at them, and Melta Bombs are also an option. They come with Bolters and can be equipped with bayonets or they can be swapped out for shotguns, which became a little bit different with the addition of the ''Concussive (1)'' rule. They can also swap them for chainswords if you want extra Shred attacks, but what is probably the most effective use of them is to fork out points to give them Nemesis Bolters and make them a squad of Character assassins. You are allowed to mix and match weapons if you want and while this might not be the most efficient choice, it can allow for double debuffs of ''Concussive (1)'' and ''Pinning'' in a single volley of shooting.

	The Astartes that would make up the Mor Deythan were known to be effective assassins and masters of infiltration (hence their name Shadow Masters), as well as so secret that even the other members of the Raven Guard didn't know they even existed. They could do the same tasks as Reconnaissance Squads did, yet with skills and capabilities surpassing those of the mainline Recon Squads. Each one of these warriors were veterans of the Lycaeum Uprising who fought with Corvus side-by-side (hence why they rarely took in new recruits). Apart of that and their incredible skills, they share one unique trait with their Primarch whom only the latter and the Apothecaries know about. The Mor Deythan managed to inherit with the geneseed of Corax the unique ability the Primarch only had, namely the Shadow-Walk ability that resulted in them erasing their presence from the minds of the enemy warriors the same way Corax does. This, along with their skills, gear and experience, made this elite formation a true nightmare for anyone who faced the Raven Guard. They even had their own battle-cant called the Stalk Argot which considered of a combination of signs and whispers that were nigh-indistinguishable from wind and environmental sounds.

	During the Horus Heresy however, the Mor Deythan suffered large casualties during the Dropsite Massacre on Istvaan V, yet despite this they fought on numerous battlefields. Attrition started wear them out to the point a few dozen remained (due to them being spread thin through the galaxy at the time when that happened), but those that still were on active duty were even more grizzled than usually and started to exhibit abilities they previously did not. Some even said that somehow they inherited a portion of their Primarch's genetic capabilities. As befitted of an elite formation like the Mor Deythan, they all had access to an arsenal of specialized weapons (including Volkite Chargers, Combi-Weapons, Missile Launchers with Suspensor Webs and Shroud Bombs). Today nobody knows if the Raven Guard, or their successors, have these warriors still in service. With the [[Great Rift]], Master of Shadows Shrike restored the Mor Deythan to a number of four, one member stemming from the [[Knights of the Raven]].

	Back in the times of the [[Great Crusade]], the Legion's recruitment differed from what current day Chapters do. Once a recruit passed their training, they got their armor and gear (just like [[Grey Knights]] and [[Space Wolves]] practice), thus there were no Scouts. Recon Squads are roided-up Scouts with power armour (Originally the [[Mark II: Crusade Armour]], but later upgraded to the [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour]]), [[Sniper Rifle\|sniper rifles]], [[Nemesis Bolter\|nemesis bolters]], cameleoline and a set of gear like the Nuncio Vox (though they can take other weapons like [[Astartes Boltgun\|bolters]], [[Astartes Assault Shotgun\|shotguns]] and melee weapons). Military experts trained in the art of sabotage, raiding, intel-gathering, assassination, stealth and recon deep behind enemy lines, these guys usually don't go head-on in a fight. Yet when there is no room for stealth and there was a open battle, these individuals quickly switched to flanking maneuvers and infiltration attacks while supporting their main forces.
