Overview
The Cadian 110th Shadow Corps specialise in stealth-insertion missions,[4h] using the shadows to their advantage.[4i] Inky black battledress and a penchant for stealth missions are the hallmarks of these stalwart veterans.[4m] The infantry of the Cadian 110th are adept at stealth insertion missions. They use minimal support, preferring the element of surprise over heavy firepower.[4n]
The Cadian 110th dull all their gear to avoid any tell-tale reflections,[4b] and any bright colours are rare,[4j] aside from the proudly displayed white "110th".[4k] This peculiarity even extends to the regiment's Commissars[4g] and Ogryns.[4l] Candles are also prohibited as armour decorations.[4o] Their armour is never shined to parade-polish quality - doing so would likely earn a soldier a demerit.[4c] The 110th utilise rebreathers that operate as quietly as possible[4h] and chain weapons whose machine spirits run as quiet as a whisper.[4f] The 110th prefer red tinted visors that are glare reactive[4e] and enhance the user's low-light visibility.[4d]
Psykers attached to the 110th sometimes utilise kine-shields.[4p]

- ???.M41: Purging of Shaboloth Night World[2]

However, the traitors' ascendancy was short-lived, and they were soon driven from Meridian's Capitol Spire.[1]
