  All units deploy using the deep strike rules, starting
  with the Commander. Other units must aim to arrive
  within 12" of the Commander (although they may
  scatter further away). The Commander’s Rites of
  Battle special rule may not be used by non-Legion of
  the Damned units.

  Of all the legends of the Imperium, one of the strangest is
  that of the Legion of the Damned. The Inquisitors of Terra
  have amassed dozens of reports describing the inexplicable
  manifestation of these other-worldly warriors upon
  battlefields where the warriors of Mankind battle without
  hope against impossible odds. The Legion comes
  unannounced and unlooked for. Their aspect is frightening
  and bizarre, a ghostly apparition from some bygone era or
  a time yet to come.
  They appear in the guise of the Emperor’s finest, the Space
  Marines, like yet unlike the proud Chapters that guard
  Humanity. Their armour is black as midnight and marked
  with symbols of death and damnation; skulls grin
  cheerlessly from helm and boltgun and bones twist amidst
  the flames of purgatory.
  Wreathed in spectral fury they descend upon the foes of
  Mankind, battling them without warcry or battleshout until
  they enemy is scattered and the day is saved. Equally
  mysteriously they vanish again once victory is won,
  disappearing back to whatever hellish realm they came
  from. Are they the Emperor’s will made manifest, or
  perhaps some dire creation of Chaos? None can say.

  POINTS: 100 + MODELS
  “...We made our Peace with the Emperor in battle fashion. It was as I raised my eyes from prayer that I saw a strange
  host where moments before there was nothing but darkness. I realised [the host] was of Space Marines, though not of
  any Chapter under the Emperor’s sun. Their armour was black, bearing chill images of bone and fire. They advanced
  without a sound, ghostly fire dancing about their feet. Like the bones of men in the torment of purgatory were these
  spectral warriors, more like the skeletal damned than the living. Yet these revenants were no vision, for they fell upon
  the Orks with silent fury. Never before or since have I seen fighting such as I witnessed that night. Seizing the moment,
  I regrouped my company and led them to war. As dawn lit the sky the Great Bastion was in our hands once again. Of
  the dark brotherhood there was no sign.”
