Talons of Solomus
The Talons of Solomus are a warband of Chaos Space Marines that split off from the Night Lord Traitor Legion sometime after the Assassination of Konrad Curze upon the world of Tsagualsa. As an Assault Company within the Legion, the Talons possess a high number of Raptor Squads within their ranks.

Notable Talons of Solomus

 * Solomus Blackwing - Once the Captain of the Night Lords' 26th Company, Solomus broke away his Company from the Legion to make his own warband, like many of the Company Captains did before and after him. Dressed in midnight clad Artificer Power Armor with a variety of trophies arranged around his plate.
 * Arebos Mortimer - Raptor Lord of the Talons and Equerry of Solomus Blackwing. Arebos is hunched over and prowls upon his clawed feet.
 * Makenus Nekane - Apothecary of the Company who's knowledge of terror tactics has served the warband all too well. Nekane's Power Armor is adorned with the stretched intestines of his victims laced across his armor.

Notable Campaigns

 * Destruction of Nostramo (984.M30) - The destruction of Nostramo was an Exterminatus action conducted by the now-rogue Night Lords Legion after the Night Haunter's attack on Rogal Dorn at the start of the Horus Heresy after the pacification of Cheraut. The VIII Legion willingly destroyed their own homeworld of Nostramo on the order of their Primarch, concentrating deadly lance-strikes on the planet's unstable core which resulted in tumultuous seismic activity that eventually shattered the dark planet apart in a wave of destruction. This event fulfilled the Night Haunter's vision of seeing his planet being destroyed by beams of white light that erupted from the heavens. For their crimes, the Night Lord were recalled back to Terra to answer for their crimes. However, the Night Haunter instead joined his brother Horus in open rebellion before he could stand before his father.
 * Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V (006.M31) - The 26th Company's acts of betrayal during the Drop Site Massacre revolved around their dealings with the Raven Guard under the command of Captain Korbin Byrne. The Raven Guard were slaughtered under the blades of the corpse covered astartes of the 26th, and it eventually came down to a duel of fates between Byrne and Solomus Blackwing. In the end Korbin was run clean through by Blackwing's blade, his face skinned and stiched to the corrupted Night Lord Captain's belt.
 * Battle of Terra (014.M31) - The 26th Company gathered under the Forces of the Warmaster once more and threw themselves at the Holy Palace of Terra one by one. Jubarel Khan of the White Scars and Captain Gazini of the Blood Angels fell under the sword of Captain Blackwing - their helmets collected and chain to his Power Armor - as they continued to make their way towards the Imperial Palace. However, after the Vengeful Spirit's Void Shields were lowered and Horus was slain shortly thereafter, the 26th Company and the rest of the Traitorous Forces of Chaos soon fled the surface of Terra.
 * Eastern Fringe Genocide (Unknown Date.M31) - After the failure of the Warmaster of Chaos, the majority of the Traitor Legions fled into the Eye of Terror for safety. The Night Lords were not one of these Legions, and instead of fleeing the VIII Legion conducted a massive Genocide across the Eastern Fringes. The worlds Valdis, Eruos, Ruldrar, and Hraden fell to the 26th Company during this Terror Campaign.
 * Asphyxiation of Valdis - Valdis, a Civilised World within the Eastern Fringes fell prey to the 26th Company's wrath as during their Genocide Campaigns across the Fringes. All across the surface, civilians were abducted and brought aboard the warband's vessels before they left the surface after they were certain all inhabitants of the world were taken. Once onboard the Kiss of Death, innocents were cast out into the void of space above Valdis in groups. Inquisitorial Agents that arrived on the scene after the Genocide Campaign were greeted by millions of frozen corpses drifting lazily around the planet that they had once called home.
 * Ruination of Eruos - Eruos, a Shrine World who's inhabitants were steadfast in their belief of the Imperial Creed were horrified at the sight of the Traitorous Angels that were the Night Lords as the descended upon their home. Every single Imperial Priest was taken hostage before being taken to the Main Cathedral of the Shrine World; The Temple of Everlasting Belief. It was here that the Priests - ten in total - formed a half circle around the Cathedral and were tied around large slabs of lumber before being burned alive. The seared corpses of the Emperor's most faithful would be left there, bold letters would be written in blood upon their foreheads. These letters would spell out: H.E. W.A.S. N.O. G.O.D.
 * Eye of Terror Slave Wars (Early 31st Millennium) -
 * War Against Ultramar - Some time after the Horus Heresy, the Ultramarines and their successors lay waste to Tsagulasa and those VIII remaining there. The Talons of Solomus' lust for vengeance was rekindled and they were joined by what had once been the 101st Company - the Night Walkers - to strike back at the Scions of the Guilliman. Rallying several other warbands behind a common cause, they spearhead several castigation actions against the 500 Worlds of Ultramar.
 * Terrorizing of Xhrona - The Agri-World of Xhrona felt the wrath of the 26th Company during the Early Stages of the War Against Ultramar.
 * Battle of Categis - Categis, an Ocean World who was constantly plagued with neverending thunder storms fell to the Night Lords next. Landing upon the world, the Talons fought alongside members of their brother warband the Night Walkers lead by the Nightfallen Tacitus, while the Talons were lead by the Apothecary Makenus Nekane. Before any acts of suffering could be done however, their first objective was to quell the Ultramarines force that had been garrisoned upon the main island under the command of Epistolary Alkimos.

Warband Vessels

 * Black Crown  - Battle Barge taken from the Emperor's Children during the Slave Wars and flagship of the warband.
 * Kiss of Death - Strike Cruiser of the 26th Company of Night Lords.
 * Wrath of Night - Storm Eagle and personal carrier of Solomus Blackwing.

Warband Appearance
The Talons of Solomus' scheme is relatively similar to that of their parent legion. The only real difference is how the Chiropteran wings are black instead of red, due to the name of their Leader; Solomus Blackwing.

Ragnvald's Dark Riders
Ragnvald's Dark Riders are a relatively small Chaos Space Marine Warband led by the infamous Space Wolves' Swift Claw turned Chaos Lord; Ragnvald the Darkstalker.
