Sarda's Undying are a standing company within the military of the Stigmartus Chaos Cult seeking to conquer the Jericho Reach. Sarda's Undying have been specially trained to act as Cult-General Elak Sarda's devoted personal guard.
At all times, at least a squad of these special troopers accompany him. In several cases, these squads have also been observed operating independently in battle from the heretical leader.
The armoured chest plates and the fully enclosed horned helms they wear make Sarda's Undying easily identifiable on the field of battle. Bedecked in ritual fetishes, each of them wields a chainaxe and Samech Pattern Hellgun into battle.
Many rumours circulate among the Astra Militarum troops facing the Stigmartus in the Achilus Crusade concerning the Undying. These include tales that they are all mutants, that their tongues have been cut out to insure their silence, and that their dark oaths have granted them immortality.
Deathwatch field reports indicate that at least the last of these rumours is inaccurate.
