I started this side project alongside my raganrokians in order to get some easy-to-transport army as well as something different to my "quantity-over-quality" armies (IG in 40k and Skaven in FB). I use Grey Knights rules to represent the special gear they were given in Niuvian III, but I'll use the Dark Angels veterans for models (cutting off the chapter marks of course and adding the close combat weapons, probably converting from Skaven spears.) Army list is probably known by some people here as I practically copied it from this tactica article as I really liked the list being able to react to pretty much anything with minimum units.
Fluff:
As planet Niuvian III was lost to daemonic hordes of chaos, united forces of the imperium fell back in disorder taking massive losses while retreating. Many were left behind as the armies left the planet as fast as they could. Most of those who were left behind were slain as they desperately defended their forsaken fortifications or were hunted down one by one. But not all were killed...
Captain Fieldaen rallied a handful of marines and even few of the surviving guardsmen of the planet's defence forces. They fought their way through endless hordes of servants of chaos and at last, made their way to the hangar of a tank producing facility. Fieldaens survivors included a veteran tank driver and they managed to save two nearly finished tanks from the facility as they made their escape with clumsy transport spacecraft.
Their miraculous escape bonded the survivors together, they became brothers in arms and even though they were from numerous chapters and units, not one of them even thought of returning to them. Stronger than loyalty to their chapters, which had forsaken them on the planet, was now loyalty and friendship to each other. But as they refused to return their chapters, it was considered as act of treason and only that they weren't present when they were declared outlaw saved their lives.
Carrying the Daemonhunter equivalent gear they were given in order to fight the daemonic horde these black-clad heroes of the Imperium still keep fighting against enemies of the Imperium, despite they are under a death sentence. Arriving out of nothing when the need is direst and disappearing just as fast, they are like a living legend. They're known as Immortals, Shadow Warriors and Harbringers of Retribution, but Captain Fieldaen named the unit Caput Ferraus.
Loyal to the Emperor but bitter towards the Chapters, Fieldaen leads his unit to fight any enemy, but not to help any of the Space Marine chapters, whom he thinks betrayed them on the Niuvian III.
