Their name is derived from an application of force field technology that gives them their main tactical advantage. They possess a passive application of said technology that allows them to bend light around themselves, making themselves practically invisible, even to [[Space Marine]] helmet sensors. However, the effect fails slightly when the user moves, and careful scanning using high-contrast viewing tools can reveal heat-haze type blemishes in the air.
Their weaponry is also derived from field technology, projected as invisible beams of mutilating force that are capable of penetrating [[Space Marine Power Armour]]. They make a distinctive banging noise when discharged. For hand-to-hand combat they use long-bladed lances.
Tall, highly physically fit men, they wore ornate silver powered armour and red silk mantles. They somewhat reminded [[Luna Wolves]] [[Captain]] [[Garviel Loken]] of the [[Adeptus Custodes|Custodian Guard]].
The Invisibles are chiefly notorious for enacting the murder of Captain [[Hastur Sejanus]] and all his glory squad. They were defeated by the Luna Wolves and ordered to be decimated.
