Shadowed Ones, The

The Shadowed Ones are a large warband comprised of renegades and Chaos Space Marines from the Alpha Legion Traitor Legion. The Shadowed Ones are led by the  Chaos Lord  Dynat Mal, known as "Crowbane". Though their parent legion's loyalities are in question, the warband is thought to fight for the cause of Chaos Undivided against the Imperium.

History
Following the tragic events of the  Horus Heresy, during the unending bloodshed of the  Great Scouring , the Traitor  Chaos  Warlord Dynat Mal, known as "Crowbane" for his ambush and slaughter of  Raven Guard  forces during the Battle of Lyx, fled to the Mandragoran Stars and gathered to him a coterie of Renegades, diabolists and Traitors thousands strong. Imperial forces sent in pursuit were repeatedly out-manoeuvred and cut apart piecemeal as Dynat's forces, now known as "The Shadowed Ones", employed guerrilla tactics and dark forces to extend their mastery over the region. After the vital Imperial outpost station at the world of Amarah, in what is now the  Orpheus Sector  of the  Segmentum Tempestus, was attacked and destroyed, its entire population slaughtered and stockpiles plundered, any Imperial claim to the region is effectively severed. This sundered realm, caught beyond the light of the Imperium at the edges of the Veiled Region, became known as the  Dark Marches  and is benighted by ignorance and discord, and is shrouded from human sight.

Warband Colours
Like the rest of their parent Traitor Legion, The Shadowed Ones still maintain the basic Alpha Legion colour scheme for their Power Armour -- blue, silver and green.

Warband Badge
The Shadowed Ones uses the same Legion badge and iconography as the Alpha Legion, namely a green hydra, the mythological multi-headed serpent that has the ability to grow back two heads for every one that was cut off.
