Doom Eagles

Overview
The Doom Eagles may be a Second Founding chapter of the Raven Guard. However, unlike the Raven Guard, their use of dreadnoughts is more extensive, fitting with their belief that they are fighting while dead. While they do follow the codex closely, they have the Sombre trait divergence, using See, But Don't Be Seen, and the drawback Death Before Dishonor. They emphasize the use of stealth tactics and speed.

Chapter Traits
At a basic level, all Doom Eagles accept that they are already dead. This is the root of their courage, their unshakeable determination to face the greatest odds. As such the men of this Chapter are almost impossible to deter, but they are dour, grim and depressive, albeit staunchly loyal to the Imperium.

The 13th Black Crusade
At least five Companies of the Doom Eagles are known to exist, which participated in the defence of the Cadian Sector during the Thirteenth Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler.

Chapter Colors
Doom Eagles armor is primarily silver, with red decoration.

Chapter Symbol
The chapter's symbol is a stylised eagle, with a human skull replacing the eagle's head.

Chapter in Novels
The Doom Eagles also featured in Dan Abnett's short story "Pestilence".
