Background
The Chapter was created during the Ultima Founding and the left hand of their power armour is bronze, to signify their Iron Hands lineage. In battle, the Knights of Byzantium prioritize efficiency and do so by destroying their enemies at range[3], with as much firepower as possible[1]. After their creation, the Chapter was charged with both protecting their new Homeworld, Byzantium, and with ensuring the libration of those worlds around it, from the forces of Chaos. The Knights of Byzantium have since sent out several reclamation strike forces to fulfill their oaths.[3]
Trivia
 |
The Knights of Byzantium were created by Harvey Snape[1], a member of Games Workshop's Warhammer World studio team[2]. The Chapter was showcased on one of the Warhammer Community webpage articles[1] and in White Dwarf 459.[3]
