History

The Necropolis Hawks were among the Primaris Space Marine Chapters created during the Ultima Founding at the direct order of Roboute Guilliman, and were created during the Indomitus Crusade. Trained extensively in close-quarters warfare and veterans of a dozen close-fought city fights, the Necropolis Hawks are stoic and efficient in their warfare. They bear their battlefield role insignia upon their backpacks so that their comrades can identify them even in the choking smoke and dust of urban war.^[1]

The Necropolis Hawks specialize in urban combat, and used their skills against the Gellerpox Infected on Vigilus.^[2a]

Several Necropolis Hawks were captured by a force of Dark Eldar, during their escape from Vigilus, to be used as pain slaves.^[3]
