About CornixCornix
Demeanor: Scornful
Son of Night :
The Battle-Brothers of the Raven Guard are known as dark and brooding, often surly and recalcitrant. The Raven Guard are not given to unnecessary conversation, preferring instead to watch and to listen, waiting for events to unfold to their advantage before acting. Some have described their habit of withholding all comment despite repeated questioning to be quite infuriating. The Raven Guard are extremely patient, biding their time and never acting rashly. They appear to be motivated by some inner darkness and to shun the light, metaphorically and often literally. While they do fight alongside other Space Marine Chapters they have often been accused of failing to share the full extent of their plans with their allies, leading to disagreement and overt conflict on numerous occasions. When fighting in the same theatre of operations as conventional forces such as Imperial Guard and local militia units, the Raven Guard have been known to use their allies as bait in elaborate traps, launching ambushes against common foes, but not always before the unknowing bait has been taken. On numerous such occasions, a furious Imperial Guard Colonel or defence force marshal has lodged the strongest of objections with the Chapter, to be met by nothing but a cold, black-eyed gaze, if even that.

Raven Guard: Master of Shadows Solo mode: Type: Passive Required Rank: 1 Effects: The Raven Guard excel at covert operations, opting for the more subtle approach over an all-out assault. Millennia of training and refining their guerilla tactics have made them masters of blending into the shadows and striking when their opponent least expects it. When the Battle-Brother is in solo mode, he may re-roll any failed Concealment, Shadowing and Silent Move Tests. Improvement: At Rank 3 or above, all attacks made by the Battle-Brother against surprised targets gain a +2 to Armour Penetration.

At Rank 7 or above, all attacks made by the Battle- Brother against surprised targets gain a +4 to Armour Penetration. Exploit Weakness Squad Attack mode: Action: Half Action Cost: 4 Sustained: No Effects: The Raven Guard use precise application of force to cripple their enemy. The squad works in concert to exploit the foe’s weaknesses and deliver potent, strategic blows. As a Half Action, any Battle-Brother in Support Range may single out an enemy. Until the beginning of that Battle-Brother’s next turn, all members of the Kill-team may re-roll damage rolls against that target (the second result must be taken). Only one target may be singled out at a time. Improvement: At Rank 5, singling out a target becomes a Free Action. Evasive Manoeuvres Squad Defense mode: Action: Full Action Cost: 3 Sustained: Yes Effects: Battle-Brothers of the Raven Guard favour agilely avoiding their opponent’s main attack over a stalwart defence.

Tall and slender for a space marine, Cornix bears the pale skin and dark hair of his chapter. Upon implantation of the geneseed of the Raven Guard, Cornix's eyes began to burn with a fey light as his psychic powers were released, as such he was named after the hooded crow an ancient Terran bird associated with the ancient Albyon legend of the Morrigan. Like those of his chapter, Cornix favours stealth, leading to brutal close combat and for this he carries a force sword in the ancient design of a Kopis, hooked so he can tear the flesh of his enemies, like the talon of a bird. Background:
Born on Deliverance, Cornix was a fey child who was never expected to survive for long, let alone rise to the ranks of the Raven Guard. However he developed a talent for stealth at an early age and this and his wandering led him into trouble. |
