    BLACKSHIELDS ‘The term’Blackshield refers not wa single military body or even a clas of warriors 2s such, bur toa phenomenon that came into ‘being in the early to middle years ofthe Age ‘of Darkness and which very much had its roots in the most ancient of martial codes. According to tho code, a warrior might, forany one ofa myriad reazona, chooze or be forced to cast off or conceal hie allegiance Inancient times, when a warior bore the ‘con of is house, master or nation upon his shield he might have cause to cover {ewith cloth o to paint over itenticly He might very literally punt his shield black, deliberately making it impossible for strangers to know where his rue loyalties — ifany remained at ll— might i “While such a pracice might have obvious ‘uliryamongs the warring clans and states of Ancient Tera oron any number of ‘worlds cast down to barbarism throughout the long Age of Strife shad no place at allinthe Imperium of Mankind which through Unity and the Imperial Truth the “Emperor had brought ro the sattered and benighted works of humanity.

Likewise the tre allegiance of many Blackshield bands was ‘often far from ler. Bven when their deeds spoke clearly oftheir cause, they rcely ought alongside che conventional forces of cither side in Mankind’ civil war or when they did, they reusod to integrate themselves {nto established chains of command. Many Blacksheld bands simply fought for their ‘own cwmse often thet of simple navial in ‘gala consumed by insanity and chaos. ‘Some however had clearly abandoned themselves tothe very madness at had birthed them. Gripped by an insanity that knew no distinction berween Traitor ‘or Loyalist, they ravaged across the stars ‘throughout the Age of Darkness and in many cases well int the current age Some have compare the Blackshields to the Shatered Legions thus putting truth to the observation tha the two ocrupled diferent points in spectrum of irregular or ‘non-conventional Legiones Astares forces. ‘The disparate elements ofthe Shattered Legions however, maintained a definite sense of Legion identity and inheritence, ‘while the Blackshicds invariably went to reat lengths vo reject, denounce or obscure their origins or in some cates may even have ‘been ignorant of them. Indeed, while the ‘Shatered Legions were constituted of units from several dffeent parent Legions, they ever sought o upland main dee ‘own traditions even as they acknowledged ‘those oftheir compatriots. This was not the case in most Blcksbield bends, and itis Ikely tha even individual squads were made up of warriors born of different Legions the ‘dentit of which might remain unknown ‘even to hie brothers. ‘While the term Blackshiel is iting, it was not always literal description of the warriors ‘question, Some groups were observed lad in highly diosyncranc, personalised heraldry no two Legionares bearing the same colours.

The warrior lodges had spread their pernicious philosophies far nd wide inthe years prior to Issvan, and few indeed ‘were the Legions entirely unaffected by their hidden workings Indeed, is notable that in some bands of Blackshields, adherence othe tenets ofthe various waror lodges remained strong and some were even accompanied ‘by small covens of Davinite lodge priest.

While recognisable Legiones Astartes squad types were encountered it was ‘common forthe core squads of Blackshield groups to carry a wide range of equipment, often with no two wariors being armed in the same manner.
