The Dolourus Crusade by SCOTT_FRANCIS Marshall Dolourus leads a Crusade to purge the Necron from Polaris V. The stripe represents Marshall Dolourus, the Cross represents Templar Forces and the Skull represents the Imperial Guard already on the ground fighting the Necron threat. Yes it is a great honour to added to a Crusade Shield, but Marshall Dolourus declared the skull added as a mark of respect for the valour and grim determination shown by the I.G. fighting a foe that, in the Marshalls eyes, is immeasurably superior.

Originally formed during the Third War for Armageddon, this crusade benefits from the wisdom of an experienced high command but has not yet elected a Marshal to lead them in their regeneration. They have, however, adopted the Phoenix as their new crusade badge, symbolising both their rebirth and the burning wrath they deliver in rapid strikes against their foes.
