3rd Company, Raven Guard Chapter
The 3rd Company of the Raven Guard, known as "The Ghoststalkers", is one of the Chapter's Battle Companies.[1a][1b][7]
Less subtle than most of their brethren, the 3rd uses sudden and overwhelming force to silence their foe. Of Corax's Trifold Path of Shadows, the 3rd strives for mastery of the Path of Ambush. As such, their engagements utilize fast-moving squads which can encircle and eradicate enemy forces one portion at a time, always withdrawing to strike elsewhere before the enemy’s inevitable counter-blows land. Jump troops, Land Speeders, and bike squads are traditional mainstays of the 3rd Company, supported by precision Drop Pod assaults. The 3rd rarely takes to the field together, but when they do they engage in fierce and audacious assaults that have nonetheless left them somewhat understrength. However, it is notable that more Shadow Captains from the Ghoststalkers have ascended to lead the Chapter as Master of Shadows than those from any other company[1b]
