Black Inculpators Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by a Firstborn Space Marine.

The Black Inculpators is a Codex Astartes-compliant Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and origin. Almost nothing is known about this Chapter in Imperial records.

Chapter History[]

The Black Inculpators were created at some point after the Second Founding. In 2455.757.M40 they were one of the twenty Chapters contacted by the Adeptus Ministorum envoy Balthazar van Heppel, who wanted to write a report on the Space Marines' religious beliefs for the ecclesiarch.

Chapter Appearance[]

Chapter Colours[]

The Black Inculpators primarily wear black power armour. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest guard is silver.

A white, open-faced squad tactical specialty symbol on the right shoulder pauldron designates squad type -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command.

The white High Gothic numeral centred on the squad specialty symbol designates squad number. The colour of the shoulder plate trim indicates company number in accordance with the dictates of the Codex Astartes -- i.e. white (1st Company), yellow (2nd Company), red (3rd Company), green (4th Company), etc.

Chapter Badge[]

The Black Inculpators' Chapter badge is a stylised white sword centred on a field of black with the tip pointed downwards. A five pointed star caps the sword's pommel at the top.
