The Black Vultures are a Space Marine Chapter.[1]
Overview
The Chapter is composed entirely of Primaris Space Marines and they are meticulous planners, and long-range marksmen, who will wait patiently to launch their attacks, until they can ensure victory. This has led to some heated interactions with more direct Chapters, like the Space Wolves, who may even bluster that the Black Vultures are cowardly. Since their creation, the Black Vultures have established close ties with the Adeptus Mechanicus and will often undertake operations suggested by the Tech-Priests. During these missions, in which members of the Mechanicus will retrieve relics, the Black Vultures will secure assets that will benefit the Chapter and help them receive support from Forge Worlds. Because of these links, the Black Vultures receive preferential treatment, when it comes to the wargear they receive from the Mechanicus.[1]
As their Chapter Master is inspired by the teachings of Lord Commander Guilliman, he intentionally stationed the Chapter's Fortress-Monastery close to an established Imperial world. The Chapter interacts with the world's population much like the Ultramarines do with the Realm of Ultramar and through their proximity, provide some protection for these citizens. This has allowed the Imperial world's System, to develop as a trade hub.[1]
