Astral Knights fluff and plog...

I quote from http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Astral_Knights ...

Chapter's Fate

Sometime shortly after the destruction of the Necron World Engine and the loss of nearly the entire Astral
 Knights Chapter, an envoy of the newly formed Sable Swords Chapter, led by 1st Company Captain Daegan visited 
the world of Obsidia to inform the remaining Astral Knights that they were to claim stewardship of their 
Fortress-Monastery. The remaining Astral Knights, numbering only thirty Battle Brothers, were led by the 
Chapter's last surviving Dreadnought, Brother Thade. Thade, angry at the thought of his proud and noble 
Chapter being so easily cast aside and replaced with a Chapter so young and inexperienced nearly came to blows 
with Daegan, instead demanding what deeds could the Sable Swords offer the remaining Astral Knights. Daegan 
simply stepped aside, clearing a path from the chamber deep within the fortress and said: "Take a ship from 
here and ply the stars as the Astral Knights once did, before they set down roots in stone and iron. Fight on 
in the Emperor's name until you can fight the no more, and when that day comes, know that in death your duty 
has ended." There are no known Imperial records that follow the Astral Knights into their final moments.

So they are uber cool, they are sons of Dorn, they are just 30 tacticals and a dreddy so I can manage to paint all the chapter, and they have a kick ass colour scheme...

but I can't understand clearly what was their fate (damn my lack of english skill).

They was wiped out ? They was merged to Sable Swords Chapter ?

Amazing! So by far they're supposed to be still alive and fighting (and palyable) ?

I need 3 box of tactics and a new dreddy :D

Alive? Probably not (imo). Playable? Totally. You don't have to have a faction that's still alive in 999.M41 to collect and play them.

Schrödinger speaks very clearly about it. Untill we do not have official infos we can't say if they were alive or not.

...and before to think they fell, think that they're the Emprah finest!

So... have we got official infos about the last 31 characters ? names, wargears and other stuff ?

I found this image and it will be the colour scheme I'll adopt for them: clear silver as base and metallic blue for details, white aquila and red lenses.

Amazing!

Since the work is on 30 marines, I'll leave no model unconverted.

It wil be display quality (at least at my own standard).

The only info i got by now is that the dreddy name is Thade...

[deathspectersgt7]

Since there are only 30 I can do the other 20 + a Ven Dread . Names should be easy to work out.
