The Devout Vanguards are a Black Templars successor Chapter of the 7th Founding and have fought in some of the Imperiums most brutal wars to date.

As such they are specialists in the use of heavy weapons and brutal close quarters combat, having stared down some of the Imperiums most dire foes such as Hive Fleet Behemoth and the 11th Black Crusade.

| - The Devout Vanguards are a Black Templars successor Chapter of the 7th Founding and have fought in some of the Imperiums most brutal wars to date. They are perfect shock troops, often their mission involves being dropped behind enemy lines to secure a position of strategic importance or to make and hold a bastion for Imperial reinforcements. As such they are specialists in the use of heavy weapons and brutal close quarters combat, having stared down some of the Imperiums most dire foes such as Hive Fleet Behemoth and the 11th Black Crusade. Originally a fleet based crusading Chapter, the Devout Vanguards were forced to settle on a planet in the far Galactic East after suffering horrendous casualties during the Tyranic Wars. Though these losses have put an end to their crusading they are still potent warriors each and are one of the most battle hardened Chapters around. Their sheer experience and age has led to many nicknames over the years such as "The Grey Ones" and "The Old Guard". Though grim and fatalistic in the best of times, the Devout Vanguards live up to their name, being truly unbreakable warriors of the Imperium. In their Chapters long and storied history not one of their number has ever fallen to Chaos, and not once have the Devout Vanguards given in to an enemy charge, either fighting to the last or repelling the foe. As the Chapter has recently settled on Taurus Prime near the edge of the Calipsia Sub-Sector, the Devout Vanguards have joined the Thunder Lances and Equalizers in their mission to hold the Hordes back from the rest of the Imperium.
