Tactical Squad (V) Saul Sergeant Saul and veteran James train their squad to target dedicated enemy assault roops. Decades of service together has moulded them in to a tigh team, with the lascannon usually able to destroy assaulting enemy transports while the combination of enfilading bolter fire and armour melting plasmagun despatches the stranded roops. |
Tactical Squad (VI) Noah The missile launcher armed squad of sergeant Noah and veteran Samuel acts as a fire base able to mete out a considerable volume of fire power against infantry and light vehicles alike. The versatility of the missile launcher allows them to come to grips with most enemy armour. |
Assault Squad (VII) Zecheriah Sergeant Zecheriah has successfully performed his main duty as a counter assault unit, protecting the maneuvering tactical squads from enemy assault. |
Scout Squad Nicodemus Sergeant Nicodemus and veteran David continue to be a thorn on the side of any enemy they meet, interrupting their maneuverability with their hidden sniper teams while on occasion a close assault by bolt pistol and chainsword wielding scouts has had an effect out of all proportion to their amll numbers. |

Heavy Support Contingent The heavy support for the strike force comes in the form of "The Lion's Hammer" a vindicator assault tank, "Emperor's Fury" a predator annihilator and "Storm of vengeance" a whirlwind multi launcher. Between the three fire support vehicles they can place a massive barrage of fire power, both direct and indirect effective against any type of enemy formations. |
