"Welcome, Commander, to the Khymara Sub-Sector. If we had thought times were hard for the Imperium of Man due to the Thirteenth Black Crusade, then we knew nothing of what has lurked in the shadows for us here. The Kymara sub-sector lies in the Western Fringe of the Ultima Segmentum and sits along the Malestrom. Such a thing has given it great prosperity and great danger, as such things are seen throughout the galaxy.”

"Currently we have been unable to regain contact with one of our Imperial Mining Stations, Alpha -67c on Kymara. Imperium forces only control four systems out of the eight within the sub-sector. The sub-sector capitol of Josufa, which is positioned in the center and has had a shaky foothold throughout the last century, but that could be lost.”

"Reports have been flooding in for the past decade now on new dangers. The Xenos and Renegade threats have been growing in number and daring, moving out further and more aggressively from various locations. We are afraid one our worlds might become a xenos or renegade vile nest. Aid from several Adeptus Astartes Chapters has been requested in an attempt to assist in exterminating these xenos and renegade threats.”

"The last Adeptus Arbites Patrol sent to Kymara in an attempt to regain contact with Alpha-67c has not reported in -- much like the previous 6 such patrols. The Sub-Sector Adeptus Arbites Precinct has filed several more complaints with the Administratum, protesting the lack of initiative on the sub-sector Governor's part to look further into the issue. The old legends about there being several technologically advanced xenos and renegades within the area continue to dissuade their desire to reach them. The local Ecclesiarch has already sent a report via channels to the Inquisition, requesting advice and help in this heretical matter.”

"Much is happening beneath the surface events however, Commander. I can feel it. I can only hope that with your arrival that the Imperium of Man will emerge victorious...even through it is against training to entertain doubt, I feel worried. Things are happening within the sub-sector and for all I know, things will not be brighter on the other side."

++END MESSAGE+++

So this army is being for my local gaming groups Mission based Campaign I am running. So far we have an Eldar, Nids, Tau, Space wolves, Possibly orks, necrons, or Ravenwing.... I took the opportunity to revisit one of the only armies I regrettable sold. Plus it was the only army I had fully painted and based. The campaign will start at 1000 pts and will increase every few months, (1500, 1850, 2000, and 2500). For the first few months we agreed on No flyers or Lord of War. I have my most of army pointed out and purchased, saving up for some nasty treats later on in the campaign.

My personal idea is that the 10th Co was in route to a routine hidden training location and received the above message/ distress call. Chapter Master Lias Issodon was told the information form his location on "Prime" and told 10th Co. Captain Voss to deviate from their training mission and begin conducting recon missions. Captain Voss and Epistolary Borak are the only 2 members that wear power Armor in my lists. They are supported by Various vehicles and speeders from the armory.

10th Company Captain Voss, Master of Recruits

First things first:

Since I have joined the Talon's Reach- An Armory Building Event expect to see updates on my Predator soon....

Second I am planning on building a 200 pt "Raptors" squad for Kill team....ok so I ordered all the parts already

The models will be built out of B@C Mk IVs

Parts I am Adding are:

Raptor Shoulder pads

Comms Backpack

Knives

Various sternguard and Deathwatch bits, Various bare heads, and sternguard heavy bolter.

What I am trying to decide on is taking them as on of these options:

-Sternguard (and getting to use the Raptors Chapter tactics) with as 7 man team sgt with a power sword melta bomb, dude with combi melta, and dude with a heavy bolter

- Using the Deathwatch Kill team Rules (mission tactics.... ) as a 7 man squad with the same gear but add a deathwatch shotgun, and Stalker bolter.

They will be painted similar to this scheme

and one marine will be kneeling (Stalker pattern bolter).
