The Unrelenting Hunt

THE UNRELENTING HUNT
As sure and cold as vengeance, Company Master Balthasar and Librarian Turmiel hunt across
the galaxy after the foul heretics known as the Crimson Slaughter. Wherever the trail of
devastation leads, there the Dark Angels strike with sudden fury. Engines roaring, the heroic
warriors of the Ravenwing lead Balthasar’s huntsmen into battle, weaving their bikes through
incoming fire while directing a hail of bolt and plasma shots at the foe. In their wake, battlebrothers of the 3rd Company advance relentlessly, laying down a steady rain of fire as they
press forward. Crushing rubble and wreckage beneath their heavy tread, the elite warriors of
the Deathwing march at their side. Muzzle flare reflects from the bone white plates of their
hulking Terminator armour as the Deathwing let fly, enemy warriors bursting bloodily and
tanks erupting in roaring balls of fire. As the foe reel in confusion, a dark shape screams
overhead. A stasis bomb detaches from the Dark Talon’s hull to descend into the midst of
their enemies, wrenching them out of time for an instant and leaving them easy prey for their
vengeful pursuers. Meanwhile, the Dark Talon swoops onward, its expert pilot jinking his
way through enemy flak to sow devastation among the enemy ranks. So does the Unrelenting
Hunt descend upon its quarry, and at its heart stride its cold-eyed leaders. Company Master
Balthasar advances upon his foes with his great blade held ready in a knightly, two-handed
grip, while Librarian Turmiel hurls forth the eldritch powers of the Warp in great blasts of
actinic lightning.
It is in the nature of the Dark Angels to hold their hatreds close, and after the events of
Stern’s Remembrance, Bane’s Landing and Numarc, they have good reason to hate the
Crimson Slaughter. One of their greatest heroes was slain at Kranon’s hand, and courageous
battle-brothers were sacrificed in hellish rituals. Worse still, a cache of their Chapter’s geneseed has been stolen by the Crimson Slaughter to create corrupt traitor Space Marines. For
these atrocities, and countless others, Balthasar, Turmiel and their followers seek revenge
upon Kranon the Relentless and all his heretic followers. Their patience is endless and their
resolve absolute; the brothers of the Unrelenting Hunt will not rest until every last warrior of
the Crimson Slaughter lies dead upon the field of war.
