Notable Campaigns[]

  • Sabbat Worlds Crusade (714.M41-Unknown Date.M41) - The Silver Guard was one of the Astartes Chapters that fought to liberate the Sabbat Worlds Sector in the crusade that began in 741.M41. The Chapter was instrumental in achieving several key victories during the numerous hard-fought campaigns of that Imperial Crusade including the important Imperial victory on the world of Balhaut in 765.M41 which was won with the aid of a task force from the Silver Guard. With the aid of the Royal Volpone Bluebloods, Pragar 10th and the Kolstec 477th Light Support Astra Militarum regiments, the Silver Guard Chapter Master Veegum stormed the Monastery of St. Kiodrus. Captain Allentis was also a part of the strike force and led a desperate attack on the Oligarchy Gate but was stymied by Heritor Asphodel's daemonic Woe Machines. When the Hyrkan 8th Regiment broke through the enemy buttress fields, their attack was supported by Captain Allentis, the Kolstec "Hammers" and 4 Astra Militarum armoured divisions.
