The Talons of the Despoiler was a Black Legion Warband that contained a hundred Chaos Space Marines.[1a]
During the Thirteenth Black Crusade, they were part of Abaddon the Despoiler's forces that invaded the Realm of Ultramar and were charged with killing the Ultramarines's Primarch Roboute Guilliman before he could be reborn. They later fell like a sledgehammer upon the Shrine of the Primarch and joined other Black Legion forces, already fighting the Ultramarines and their allies defending Guilliman's body[1a]. Despite their efforts though, the Primarch was brought back from the edge of death and the remnants of the Warband tried to escape, after reinforcements came to aid Guilliman. However, the Talons of the Despoiler were hunted down and destroyed, before they could escape the Shrine.[1b]
