They are one of the seven Space Marine Chapters of the Imperium of Man currently charged with hunting down and eliminating the Renegade Chaos Space Marines warband known as the Punishers. The Dark Hunters have a reputation for being particularly grim and resolute warriors. They were a single company of Astartes destined to become a Chapter and needed to seek out a new homeworld in the void and continue the work of those millions who had gone into the dark before them. They exchanged their White Scars livery for the dark of hunter blue, becoming reborn as the Dark Hunters, even as they still bore the honour scars of Chogoris. The Dark Hunters took this revered relic weapon of Jaghatai Khan as their Chapter's badge - the "Axe of Justice" - which represented vengeance and justice. The khan presented Angnar with a relic Power Axe, said to have been used by the Great Khan Jaghatai himself: millennia old, it was double-headed and still crackled with blue flame when Angnar held it aloft. In recognition of his new rank, Mordonai Khan presented Angnar with a singular gift at the White Scars' fortress-monastery of Quan Zhou before they departed Chogoris.ĭark Hunters Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by Primaris Marine Brother Ghalkus, 4th Company, 2nd Squad (battleline). When the Chapter was founded, Captain Angnar and his brotherhood ( company), consisting of ninety-eight Astartes of the White Scars, were chosen to become the core of a newly founded Successor Chapter.Īngnar himself was chosen for the singular honour of becoming the new Chapter's first Chapter Master. The Chapter was raised to combat the heretical Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus known as the Apostles of the Blind King, who made war upon the Imperium. The Dark Hunters were founded in the 37 th Millennium during the dark days of the Occlusiad War (555-565.M37).
