Black Crusaders

The Black Crusaders are a little-known Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and origin. Almost nothing is known about this Chapter in the Imperial records. The Black Crusaders were known to be involved in an Imperial campaign in which they attacked an Ork enclave on the planet of Guilus II.

Notable Campaigns

 * Battle of Grot Town (Unknown.M41) - Led by Brother-Captain Marcus Heilbron of the Black Crusaders, Imperial forces first encountered [[Grot Bom, Launchas during the Battle of Grot Town during the campaign against an Ork enclave on the planet of Guilus II. The enclave had an unusually high number of Gretchin to Orks (hence the name). The defenders were no match for the attacking Space Marines and Imperial Guard, but under the direction of their Mekboyz, the Gretchin came up with several devilishly fiendish defences. The Space Marines were attacked by swarms of Gretchin suicide bombers, each one strapped with as much dynamite as he could carry. Booby traps using blunderbuss style shotguns attached to tripwire and pitfalls full of starving Squigs were all nasty surprises to the attackers. At the height of the battle the Grot Bomm Launchas were fired at the Space Marine's armoured column as it moved into the attack. Heilbron's Land Raider, leading the way, was hit and destroyed by the first salvo of bombs. Heilbron himself was killed in the attack. Since the battle the idea has proliferated throughout Ork Kulture.
