On return to the Badab System, Captain Lufgt Huron was appointed as the Astral Claws' new Chapter Master by popular acclaim of his peers in 715.M41. He became the youngest warrior in the Chapter's history to attain this esteemed rank. Imperial historitors now point out that such a man of flawed character should never have been allowed to rise to the command of a Space Marine Chapter. Taking upon himself the mantle of planetary ruler, Lufgt Huron stylised himself the "Tyrant of Badab," claiming the inhabited worlds in proximity to the hospitable region of the void around the Badab System as his Chapter's fiefdom. In his subsequent pronouncement, he echoed the example and precedents of the sovereign realm of Ultramar and the Maelstrom Warders' charter. Both the Traitor Guardsmen Squad and Fellgor Beastmen units make the leap from the skirmish game Warhammer 40k Kill Team in the new Index. Traitor Guardsmen’s ‘Twisted Defence force’ ability grants them the Benefit of Cover while they’re within range of an objective marker, and they have a healthy OC2. Fellgor Beastmen are more dedicated to clearing objectives: they get a 6″ Scouts move after deployment, and get +2″ to Charge rolls when targeting enemies holding objectives.

After his fall to Chaos, Huron armed himself with a Power Axe and the Tyrant's Claw, a monstrous bionic power fist with a built-in heavy flamer. [1] It is unclear what befell his old armour and weaponry. The Astral Claws once watched over the Maelstrom, but even as they waged their war against the dark, they found themselves part of a dwindling host. Its fellow Maelstrom Warders Chapters were drawn off to fight other wars, and every request for aid was answered with silence. The Death Cultists managed to gain access to part of the Cygnaxian missile defence network, and in a suicidal rage unleashed a rain of atomic and plasma warheads upon the doomed world, shattering its hive cities and disrupting the planet's orbit for several standard years. The resulting permanent nuclear winter, radioactive fallout and tectonic upheavals annihilated all life on Cygnax. With preliminary judgements into the Badab System in the Segmentum Courts Temporal weighing in the Administratum's favour, an Imperial investigation fleet, including representatives of the Adeptus Mechanicus Biologis Inviglia and the Administratum lords of the Karthago Sector, was sent to Badab to demand the delivery of the Badab tithe and the Chapter's gene-seed requirements. The two Chapters engaged in fierce combat, but the Mantis Warriors managed to isolate and entrap the Marines Errant 1st and 3rd Companies in the Rust Zones, destroying much of their command structure in a series of murderous surgical strikes. The Marines Errant were decimated and forced to retreat in disarray. After the deadly battle, it fell to Lieutenant Commander Narvaez to mount a rescue mission, in which he succeeded in saving the besieged survivors in a daring counter-raid.Huron excelled as a warrior and a leader, and was soon named the captain of the 3rd Battle Company. In this role he displayed his true strategic prowess and unleashed innovative tactics that saw his battle-brothers defeat enemy forces several times their size and power. The Astral Claws were one of a series of Space Marine Chapters tasked with watching over the blighted region of space known as the Maelstrom. An open wound in reality as a semi-permanent Warp rift, the Maelstrom is a place where Daemons walk the worlds drowned in its depths, where aliens swarm like carrion feeders, and the outcasts of Humanity gather and grow strong. The Maelstrom covers an area many hundreds of light years across, and its presence in space is marked by a vast, slowly turning gyre comprised of nebulae, dust and stellar material in which countless stars and worlds have long been lost to the Empyrean.
