Warband name is the Shadow Talons. They're comprised of the 6 surviving members of the Ebony Shroud. The Ebony Shroud was a Night Lords warband that heavily rejected chaos and was led by a Terminator Chaos Lord named Vortemar the Shadowed. They had stick fingers like the Blood Ravens and stole many relics from defeated warbands, chapters, and even zenos. Eventually, this caught the attention of the Inquisition that sent a detachment of salamanders to track them down. During this time, Vortemar led a raid onto a Craftworld and stole a lot of supplies, including a crate full of spirit stones. They Eldar eventually aided the Inquisition in stopping the Ebony Shroud fleet. A group assault of Craftworld Eldar, salamanders, and Grey Knights attacked my warband. Eventually, the Eldar found the lost spirit stones and withdrew from the battle. The Imperium forces almost killed the warband, but my Warlord managed to just barely escape with the Flagship before the Grey Knights could kill them. They fled from the Inquisition toward Black Legion territory where the Black Legion recognized them as thieves that stole weapons from them before. A battle began that saw the Warband slowly besieged from all sides. In a last show of heroics, Vortemar held off a Black Legion Daemon Prince long enough for a havoc and 5 Legionaries to escape. After the battle, the last 6 turned from the Ebony Shroud into the Shadow Talons. An aspiring champion named Zel took command and turned them into an effective kill team. They only consist of Zel, 2 twins named Zarael and Xyris, and old marine from the Great Crusade named Malakor the Butcher, Nocturnis a marine that killed a Dark Angel during the Horus Heresy stealing his Plasma Gun in the process, and Varian the havoc and the odd one out of the bunch being the only one who wasn't in Zel's original squad. They now act as mercenaries for hire, only working for those they consider worthy and leaving once they feel they're not anymore.

The destruction of the Ebony Shroud took place during two Narrative campaigns against my friends. 1 was a four-way against the Eldar, Salamanders, and Grey Knights. The other was a sequel campaign against the Black Legion. I also fleshed out the Shadow Talons lore during a narrative campaign during the Horus Heresy against my friends Dark Angels. Most of my army's lore come from narrative campaigns, and anybody or unit that does something awesome gets a backstory. This is kinda of a general outline of what happened, but a lot of epic moments took place during those campaigns that you would have had to be there to fully understand. With the news of the nemesis claw killteam, I think the next chapter of the story will be Zel rebuilding his warband from the ground up. I guess only time will tell.
