2nd Company, Raven Guard Chapter

Insignia of the 2nd Company^[1]

The 2nd Company of the Raven Guard, known as the 'Shadowborne', is a Battle Company of the Chapter.^[1]

These are the Raven Guard's preeminent assassins. To join their number, one must prove their worth in the Trifold Path of Shadow and able to both sense their foe's movements and most inhibiting conditions. They are experts in wearing shadows as their skin and moving in complete silence. The 2nd Company makes extensive use of Infiltrators and Reiver Squads to compromise enemy positions ahead of heavier onslaught, disrupting communications and sabotaging key targets. The 2nd is unique in that it operates a Vanguard Space Marine formation alongside the standard Vanguard squads of the 10th^[1].
