Revilers

The Revilers are a Loyalist Space Marines Chapter and a rare Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Raven Guard, who specialise in jungle warfare.

Chapter History
During the Second Founding, when the original Space Marine Legions were partitioned at the end of the Horus Heresy, three new Chapters were created from the gene-seed of the Raven Guard. The Revilers were one of these three original Second Founding Chapters.

Notable Campaigns

 * Plains of Azoth (Circa M41) - The Revilers' 6th Company used Drop Pods to insert themselves onto the Plains of Azoth against heavy enemy opposition.
 * 13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - The Revilers contributed less than a company to the defence of the Cadian Gate from the Forces of Chaos during the 13th Black Crusade.

Chapter Organisation
Like its genetic forebears, the Revilers abide by the tenets of the Codex Astartes, which details the organisation and tactical doctrines of the Space Marines, written after the great schism of the Horus Heresy had set Space Marine Legions against one another in a galaxy-wide civil war that almost destroyed the fledgling Imperium.

Chapter Combat Doctrine
The Revilers specialize in jungle and wet-weather environment warfare. Like their predecessors in the Raven Guard, the Chapter specializes in guerrilla tactics behind enemy lines, using precisely coordinated attacks and refraining from frontal attacks or protracted attrition warfare. The Chapter uses rapid maneuver engagements consisting of Assault Marines, Land Speeders and Assault Bikes aimed at harassment, sabotage and destruction of key targets over the direct engagement of enemy forces at large. Revilers Tactical Squads are usually deployed using Thunderhawk insertions, supported by Drop Pod-deployed Dreadnoughts. The Revilers also rely heavily on its Scout Marine elements, who operate without support for unusually extended amounts of time, even by Space Marine standards. The Chapter almost always combines small unit tactics with their preference for covert, behind-enemy-lines operations.

Chapter Colours
The Revilers' Power Armour colour is a greyish blue with a silver Aquila or Imperialis. Each company of the Chapter is assigned a colour, which is painted as a stripe on each Space Marine's helmet. Some companies' captains paint their entire helmet for better recognition in the field.

Chapter Badge
The Revilers' Chapter badge is a human skull shot through from top left to lower right by a yellow lightning bolt, although some depictions forgo the lightning bolt.
