Having all been recruited from Melk's Auric-level Operatives, Strike Team Tenebrous specialise in stealth and infiltration missions. Their preferred deployments are during the rolling blackouts that are becoming an increasingly regular phenomena in the Hive. While these were initially blamed on faulty infrastructure or maintenance lapses due to the invasion, their rapidly increasing frequency suggests some foul traitor plot is behind them.

Strike Team Tenebrous - Launcher

This auric Strike Team specialises in Light's Out missions. First added to shop August 15, 2024 alongside the Herald of Admonition special event.

Shredder Autopistol (Shrineguard Cerulean)
Thou mayst say the weak are to be abhorred, for they pave the way to heresy. But nay! The weak must be led by the strong of faith. Only then may their sacrifice have meaning. - Jakobia Lunt, Priest of Messelina

A fierce scowl, a dark uniform, and well-polished boots can get you at least halfway through officer's training camp.
Cimmerius, as he is now known, was one of the first rejects to be singled out by Sire Melk for Auric-Level operations. In the following months, he proceeded to make himself a valuable member of the elite fighting group, eventually being given command of a squad.

What transgressions condemn a man to such a mask? The last owner could not say, for he'd bitten off and swallowed his own tongue.

You would think that the combination of candles and old parchment might lead to a few accidents, but in the face of enemy lasfire and flamers, it's probably the least of your worries.
Grand Penance Militia Garb (Triple Blessed) 700 Lower Body
Grand Penance Militia Garb (Triple Blessed)
These trousers previously served two different Martyrs to the Emperor's cause. They say three times is the charm...
Unlike most fervent followers of the Imperial Creed, Tartaran combines their zealous passion with a cold, calculating demeaner. When Tartaran beseeches the Emperor for victory during battle, he does so under his breath, safe in the knowledge that the omnipresent Emperor will heed his prayers regardless.

The deep black of the Shroudwrap camo adopted by these darkness-specialist squads might mark them out if it didn't help them blend into the shadows so much.

Even the protective plasteel plating is dulled with soot to reduce the chance of telltale reflections betraying your position.
Stygium always liked when the lights went out. The enemy were just as in the dark (as it were) as the rejects, however Stygium's warp-sight helped her identify priority targets in the gloom, allowing her to feel who or what was waiting for them just out of sight.

While its split-bladed design's claimed efficiency in trench-building is often (loudly) disputed amongst those ordered to put it into practice, no one will argue it makes a glorious mess of any heretic that gets in its way.

Shroudwrap Fatigues (XXXXL) 700 Lower Body
Shroudwrap Fatigues (XXXXL)
Despite the trend for plain, dark wargear, some squad members cannot help but add a little personalisation to their outfit.
Ogryn's are simple creatures, and so, a simple codename had to be chosen for Black. After many failed suggestions and some very confusing mission chatter, Melk decided that simple was best, and so Operative Black got his official designation. He still wonders why they are called Strike Team Tenebrous when, as he puts it "Dere's only four-of-us, not ten."
