The Void Walkers are an Ultima Founding Successor Chapter of the famed Raven Guard, comprised entirely of newly revealed Primaris Space Marines.

Chapter History
The Void Walkers Chapter was founded in response to the creation of the Great Rift in 999.M41. They began their first combat action in 111.M42 in the Kaladin System to relieve the besieged capital world of Ardialan. There they fight an ongoing action against a Chaos invasion of an Iron Warriors Grand Company under Warsmith Khazor.

Chapter Home World
The Void Walkers did not receive a home world during their founding due to the expedient nature of their creation and deployment to the Kaladin System. Though they do not claim a homeworld of their own, Ardialan may become theirs if they successfully defend it. For now, they remain a fleet-based Chapter.

Fortress-Monastery
The Shrouded Blade is the home of the Void Walkers current fortress-monastery, also serving as the 1st Company’s flagship and deployment vessel.

 * Red Iron War


 * Arios Range War


 * Defense of Ardialan


 * Ironhail Offensive

Chapter Organization
The Void Walkers do not adhere strongly to the Codex Astartes and have adapted their organization to meet the requirements of the Kaladin Campaign. Their heavy reliance of guerilla tactics, covert operations, and espionage have increased the need for more Vanguard Marines to be fielded to the point that the 6th-10th Companies have been formed into complete Vanguard Companies led by Commander Falkshear of the 6th Company. The rank of Commander also serves as the Chapter’s second-in-command. With this atypical formation and hierarchy, the Void Walkers are able to move more freely about in an engagement area with the Battleline Companies providing the armored fist to the Vanguard’s hidden blade.



Specialist Ranks

 * Master - Chapter Master equivalent. Also serves as the 1st Company Captain.


 * Strike Team Commander - commands the Void Walkers Strike Teams. This title is not specific to one company nor one discipline within the Chapter. Any battle-brother within the Void Walkers may be elevated to this position. The Commander is appointed by the Master. Once appointed, the Commander takes a lone pilgrimage to Deliverance to be trained in secret by the Raven Guard.


 * Strike Team Sergeant (Shade): Shades are chosen from among the best veteran Operatives within the Strike Teams.
 * Strike Team Brother (Operative): are chosen from among the most elite Vanguard Marines. Once selected, they are put through the Shadow Trials with the Strike Team Sergeants (Shades) closely observing for any unsuitable recruits. If they should fail, they will be sent back to their respective squads in shame. If they should succeed however, they are awarded the Ebony Raiment, a specially designed Phobos pattern armor for the Void Walkers, and join the most elite group of Astartes within the Void Walkers.
