    Sargent Ganeaus Naso is a veteran of the war with the great devourer and harbors a particular hatred for hormagaunt

"The Roaring Gryphon"

       Captain Galenus' personal transport, the Roaring Gryphon screams into battle on contrails of fire, blasting the enemies of man kind to dust before disgorging her deadly cargo into the heart of the battle.
      A veritable bulldog in areal battles, the Gryphon is the scourge of doom scythes and valkyries, fighta jets and helldrakes alike. Yet its' prey is not only the denizens of the sky. those on the ground, especially tanks and heavy infantry have felt the wrath of the Gryphon, her assault cannons and missiles scythe down hordes of enemies with every stroke.
     Watch out for her shadow, for what comes after is much less pleasant.

Veteran Squad Servius "The Fateful Few"

      Veteran Squad Servius is completely composed of space marines from the 5th company. A scourge to xenos and traitors alike many have fallen under into the sights of their specialist bolt guns, only to fall out of them again moments later.
     Among their most prestigious kills are many tyranid monstrous creatures, a transcendent catan shard, and a doom hammer.

Veteran Sargent Servius Silanus 

     Servius, before being elevated into the vaunted ranks of the first, was Captain Galenus' company champion. he has personally lead his squad to victory or glorious death every battle.

The Twins; Appius(left) and Spurius(right)

       The twins, Appius and Spurius, joined the ranks of the Ultramarines nearly a century ago. Although their induction into the ranks of the vaunted first occurred only recently, their skill with their specialist is the scurge of the living and metallic undead alike.

Aulus Tacitus

          Taciturn and efficient, Aulus Tacitus  prefers to stringently follow the Codex Astartes. As the squads most efficient tank hunter, Tacitus' combi melta has been the bane of 2 necron annihilation barges, 3 Lemun Russes, and even the fortress of redemption's vaunted walls.

Vibius Philo w/ melta gun

      The squads special weapon bearer, Philo has a knack for every weapon available to the spacemarines. His finest kill was with a plasma gun, destroying a storm raven in one glorious shot.

Mercus Vespesian

    Mercus is a marine shrouded in mystery. Having only recently returned from a campaign with the deathwatch, he is a new addition to the squad. Silent and vindictive, any tyranid he sees is soon missing pieces...
