Overview
Their noisome forces garrisoned the "widowmaker" bastion gate on Lycanthos Secundus that was successfully captured by Lugft Huron during the Lycanthos Drift Campaign in 780.M41.[2] They survived this defeat, however, and were last encountered at the Cadian Gate.[1]
The Bleak Brotherhood has been described as a possible faction of the Warp Ghosts,[1] though this belief is probably mistaken. The Warp Ghosts are known as ferrymen and mercenaries, and they are often confused with their temporary employers. It is most likely that the Bleak Brotherhood only hired the Warp Ghosts on at least one occasion, leading Imperials to consider a deeper connection.[3]
Known Battles
- 712.M41 — Magdelon Incursion

Notes
 |
The Marine colors and profile used for the Bleak Brotherhood in Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition) (published in 2007) is the same[1] as that as a Marine for the Apocalypse Company in White Dwarf 333 (UK) (also published in 2007)[4].
