Devout Vanguards

"Finesse is for the young and foolish."- Hauge Voksprik, Commander of the Devout Vanguards

The Devout Vanguards are a Black Templars successor Chapter of the 7th Founding and have fought in some of the Imperiums most brutal wars to date.

They are perfect shock troops, often their mission involves being dropped behind enemy lines to secure a position of strategic importance or to make and hold a bastion for Imperial reinforcements. As such they are specialists in the use of heavy weapons and brutal close quarters combat, having stared down some of the Imperiums most dire foes such as Hive Fleet Behemoth and the 5th Black Crusade.

Origonally a fleet based crusading Chapter, the Devout Vanguards were forced to settle on a planet in the far Galatic East after suffering horrendus casualties during the Tyranic Wars. Though these losses have put an end to their crusading they are still potent warriors each and are one of the most battle hardend Chapters around. Their sheer experience and age has led to many nicknames over the years such as "The Grey Ones" and "The Old Guard".

Though grim and fatalistic in the best of times, the Devout Vanguards live up to their name, being truely unbreakable warriors of the Imperium. In their Chapters long and storied history not one of their number has ever fallen to Chaos, and not once have the Devout Vanguards given in to an enemy charge, either fighting to the last or repelling the foe.
