The Deathwalkers are the VII Legionnes Astartes.

=History=

== The coming of the Primarch ==

Falash VII was a world of techno-barbarians. Cut off from terra during old night, its peoples regressed into nomadic tribes, travelling the irradiated wasteland, battling each other for possession of the incredibly fertile zones maintained by ancient technologies. When Hargan Desh fell through the night skies, many of the tribal elders read the streaking fires in the sky as a sign, and led their peoples north towards where they fell. A great gathering of tribes assembled, but none could find any evidence of anything coming to land. On the sixth night, the tribal leader's feast was interrupted when the doors to their animal skin tent were thrown open and a child strode in, blood streaking his hands and face. Casting the head of a camp guard onto the table, he struck down the first enraged tribal leader who confronted him, striking off the mans head with his own axe. The crashing of weapons and screams of pain brought a crowd to the tent, but none dared enter. When the sounds subsided, the tent opened, and the child strode out before the people, coated in gore, before casting the heads of the tribal leaders at their feet. From that day forth, the child was known as Hargan Desh, or 'Red Reaper'. The elders saw the promise this youth held and declared that he had earned the right to lead. He took to the brutal ways of the tribes and, guided by the soothsayers and shaman, conquered or absorbed the tribes of Falash until one day there was nobody left to fight.

Five moons after the conquest of the last tribe, lights were seen in the skies again, and the shamans spoke of the coming of the red dawn, the end of days. Gathering his many households, Hargan Desh led his people to the site of the starfall in the greatest warhost that world had seen. There he found a host of golden warriors, led by a champion who glowed with the light of suns. Stepping forward in challenge, Desh stood face to face with this champion. For a day and a night Desh and the Champion stood and spoke before, to the astonishment of the tribes, he knelt in abasement before this supernatural creature. He declared before his gathered advisors and captains that from this day on, Falash would serve the Emperor of Mankind and that he would go forth into the stars and lead new conquests at the head of a mighty host. Given command of the VII Legion, known as the Stonebreakers, Desh set about recruiting those of the tribes who were able to be transformed into legionnaires. The peoples of the deeply superstitious tribes called these youths 'Deathwalkers' for they appeared to die, and rise again as powerful creatures, the like of which had never been seen by these people. Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

== The Great Crusade ==

Second Part of History

= Legion Organisation =
The Deathwalkers legion is organised into 14 large units known as Grandhosts, each led by a Blademaster. Each Grandhost is subdivided into around 100 Hosts, and each Host comprises around 100 squads, known as 'Fists'. These Fists are often paired and train to operate in concert with each other, their warriors encouraged to compete with each other for glory.

==Unique Formations==
===The Bladesworn Brotherhood===
The Bladesworn Brotherhood is the elite first Grandhost of the Deathwalkers, led by the First Blademaster Akkan Varna. It is comprised exclusively of legionnaries hand-picked by the Primarch to form his honour guard. Each warrior is a veteran of many battles and the entire Grandhost is equipped with Terminator armour, and often carry huge two-handed axes into battle.

The Bladesworn hold a series of brutal gladiatorial games every 3 years, the winner of which is given a position of honour as Champion of the Bladesworn. Warriors of other Grandhosts are encouraged to observe these games, and so to aspire to great feats of valour and personal prowess in order to be allowed to join the Bladesworn and be entitled to compete in the next games.

==Combat Doctrine==

Deathwalkers ground assaults usually take the form of an overwhelming tide of armoured transports, filled with heavily-armoured warriors, armed for close-quarters combat. The resources which many legions would channel into longer ranged artillery and battle-tanks are often diverted into the creation of larger numbers of terminator armoured suits, allowing brutal frontal assaults.

The Deathwalkers fleet is largely outfitted with heavier armour than standard legion fleets, at the expense of some firepower, and is solely focused on delivering a swarm of boarding craft into the enemy fleet. These boarding parties will often take enemy ships in one piece if possible, eliminating the ship's crew, rather than destroying vital systems.

=Legion Homeworld=

''Main Article [[Falash VII]]'' 

Falash VII was once a verdant and temperate world of deep jungles. A large world, approximately 20 times larger than Terra, the human settlers lived in large hydroponic domes, dotted at regular intervals across the surface. An unexpected solar flare forced the human population to shelter underground for three hundred years, and when they emerged, their world had changed. The jungles were gone, replaced with an arid wasteland, the hydroponic domes were shattered, and although some of their systems still functioned, the surviving population had little knowledge of their workings.

=Primarch=

''Main Article: [[Hargan Desh]]'' 

{{Picture Box Left
|Image=Hargan.jpg
|Text=Hargan Desh
}}

Hargan Desh leads the Deathwalkers as he led the tribes of Falash, as a barbarian king holding court.

Wearing a brutally spiked suit of unornamented armour, Desh leads from the front, setting an example as the exemplar of what a warrior of his legion should be. Bellowing challenges to enemy champions and marking his armour with their blood and trophies, he is a terrifying sight to behold.

Desh wields a wide variety of weapons, from brutal axes to crushing maces. His favoured weapons however are the pair of enormous serrated powered axes known as the Suneaters. With expert twists of his mighty wrists, he can catch and snap the blades of enemy warriors before reversing the swing and cleaving open the surprised victim.

=Culture and Beliefs=

The tribes of Falash are of hardy stock, a minor mutation causing thicker skin and increased regenerative abilities over a standard human. This resilience made ensured that a greater proportion of initiates survived the implantation processes, giving the Deathwalkers incredible recruitment potential. When the Legion was created, Desh brought their cadres of shamans with them into the stars. These spiritual foci would lead their followers in ritual and brutal scarification, each legionnairy cutting deeply of his own skin and packing the wound with unguents to ensure that even their astartes physiology and the natural hardiness of the people of Falash could not stop the wound from healing into a brutal pattern of scarring.

These shamans also dictate when the legion will commit to war, reading the signs and portents in primitive and often lengthy bouts of soothsaying. If these portents dont read favourably, the legion will often delay or change their plans until the shamans are confident of victory.

=Geneseed=

The Deathwalkers geneseed does not exhibit any deficiencies at present. The enhanced healing and hardiness of the natives of Falash VII ensures a much higher success rate in the implantation process, as well as ensuring Deathwalkers legionaries not only have a longer average lifespan than that of many other legions. In addition, this enhanced resilience means each geneseed is not extracted and re-implanted as often, reducing the numbers of damaged or lost specimens.

Hargan Desh is the seventh of the Emperor's sons, and Primarch of the [[Deathwalkers]]

==Names==

Hargan Desh. Bladebreaker, Red Reaper, The Scarred

==Biography==
===Arrival===
Falash VII was a world of techno-barbarians. Cut off from terra during old night, its peoples regressed into nomadic tribes, travelling the irradiated wasteland, battling each other for possession of the incredibly fertile zones maintained by ancient technologies. When Hargan Desh fell through the night skies, many of the tribal elders read the streaking fires in the sky as a sign, and led their peoples north towards where they fell. A great gathering of tribes assembled, but none could find any evidence of anything coming to land.
===Rise to Power===
On the sixth night, the tribal leader's feast was interrupted when the doors to their animal skin tent were thrown open and a child strode in, blood streaking his hands and face. Casting the head of a camp guard onto the table, he struck down the first enraged tribal leader who confronted him, striking off the mans head with his own axe. The crashing of weapons and screams of pain brought a crowd to the tent, but none dared enter. When the sounds subsided, the tent opened, and the child strode out before the people, coated in gore, before casting the heads of the tribal leaders at their feet. From that day forth, the child was known as Hargan Desh, or 'Red Reaper'. The elders saw the promise this youth held and declared that he had earned the right to lead. He took to the brutal ways of the tribes and, guided by the soothsayers and shaman, conquered or absorbed the tribes of Falash until one day there was nobody left to fight.

==Rediscovery==
Five moons after the conquest of the last tribe, lights were seen in the skies again, and the shamans spoke of the coming of the red dawn, the end of days. Gathering his many households, Hargan Desh led his people to the site of the starfall in the greatest warhost that world had seen. There he found a host of golden warriors, led by a champion who glowed with the light of suns. Stepping forward in challenge, Desh stood face to face with this champion For a day and a night Desh and the Champion stood and spoke before, to the astonishment of the tribes, he knelt in abasement before this supernatural creature. He declared before his gathered advisors and captains that from this day on, Falash would serve the Emperor of Mankind and that he would go forth into the stars and lead new conquests at the head of a mighty host. Given command of the VII Legion, known as the Stonebreakers, Desh set about recruiting those of the tribes who were able to be transformed into legionnaires. The peoples of the deeply superstitious tribes called these youths 'Deathwalkers' for they appeared to die, and rise again as powerful creatures, the like of which had never been seen by these people. Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

==Character==
Desh is often brooding and spends large periods of time between campaigns in isolation with the Red Priests. When he emerges, he is a charismatic and bombastic war-leader, directing his troops from the front lines, in the thickest fighting. Desh is also noted for seeking out enemy champions and generals to test his strength against, although all have been found wanting so far.

He is taciturn and stands apart from his brothers, especially those who he see's as needlessly complex. His natural distrust of those who would use psychic gifts or more subtle methods of war to conceal their intentions means that often his forces act independently of fellow Legion support.

==Appearance==
Tall and Muscular, Desh exudes raw power, rather than the majesty of other Primarchs. He stands tall, above even the Astartes below him, taking the Legion's burdens on his broad shoulders.

When Desh speaks it is often in hushed tones, or bellowed challenges. His shaved head is criss-crossed with ritual scars, the unguants of the red priests preventing even the Primarchs enhanced physiology from healing these wounds.

==Wargear==

Desh goes to war wearing masterfully layered power armour, unornamented and covered in bonding studs and brutal spikes. Above his shoulders he bears a monstrous trophy rack, in the Falashi tradition, so that he can display his mightiest kills to strike fear into the enemy.

In battle, Desh wields a wide variety of weapons, from brutal axes to crushing maces. His favoured weapons however are the pair of enormous serrated powered axes known as the Suneaters. With expert twists of his mighty wrists, he can catch and snap the blades of enemy warriors before reversing the swing and cleaving open the surprised victim.

Falash VII is the Homeworld of the [[Legion VII|The Deathwalkers]] Legion

==Pre Compliance==

Falash VII was a world of techno-barbarians. Cut off from terra during old night, its peoples regressed into nomadic tribes, travelling the irradiated wasteland, battling each other for possession of the incredibly fertile zones maintained by ancient technologies.

===The Time of Burning===

{{Right Box
|Title= The Red Priests of the Burning Wastes
|Text=
Each of the great tribes of Falash is guided by its red priests. These semi-mythical figures are able to interpret the ancient technologies of the domes, as well as provide wisdom and guidance to the Chief of that tribe. Conducting ancient rituals of bloodletting, they hold great power over the tribes, and it is at their word that their charges will go to war, or choose another course of action.

Falash VII was once a verdant and temperate world of deep jungles. A vast planetary body, approximately 20 times larger than Terra, the human settlers lived in enormous hydroponic domes, dotted at regular intervals across the surface. An unexpected solar flare forced the human population to shelter underground for three hundred years, and when they emerged, their world had changed. The jungles were gone, replaced with an arid wasteland, the hydroponic domes were shattered, and although some of their systems still functioned, the surviving population had little knowledge of their workings.

==Post Compliance==

Falash VII has remained largely untouched with the coming of the Deathwalkers and Hargan Desh. At the Primarch's command, the tribes have been left to remain in the same nomadic state which bred such hardy fighters before compliance. Imperial organisations such as the munitorum and the Mechanicum of Mars maintain orbital stations, but are strictly forbidden from interfering in tribal affairs. Each year, the tribes gather at the great Red Harvest, and put forward their strongest youths to be considered for selection to the legion and to become Deathwalkers.

==Native Fauna==
{{Picture Box Big

With the loss of Falash's jungles after the Time of Burning, many of the native creatures of the world were extinguished. Those that survived are for the most part insectoid in nature, with a constitution that could survive the flames, or burrowing worm like creatures that rarely visit the surface, but provide great sport when hunted through the caves beneath the surface.

Falash VII is the Homeworld of the [[Legion VII|The Deathwalkers]] Legion

==Pre Compliance==

It is theorised that Nemea was once a thriving Terran agri colony during the Dark Ages but at some point it was rocked by a psychic apocalypse which collapsed society to a mostly feudal level and radically destabilised the Ecosystem. its is theorised that a [[OBSIDIAN CLEARANCE REQUIRED]] which in turn means the planet may owe its very existence to the strange beasts.

Its the years before the Primarch petty kings ruled Nemea, roving their territories in crude vehicle convoys between the various farms and basic factorums they considered their "Turf". The Ancient city of Thundara stood apart, home to unknowable terrors as well as potential fortunes in Archeotech for those lucky few to return from expeditions but utterly untameable by the hand of man.

Much of Nemea is barren, hardy scrubs, burnt out scrap and bones are the only thing to be found there. However some areas are more habitable than others, particularly areas called Growing zones which by some artifice of the ancients are hyper fertile and provide huge crop yields. These vary greatly in size from a single field to vast savannahs and are hotly contested by the warlords, though they are too valuable to risk in direct conflict and so it is the towns that always grow up nearby that saw most warfare.

===Thundara and the Gargoyle Order===

{{Right Box
|Title= The Castes of the Gargoyle Order
|Text= As mentioned the Gargoyle order was divided into three Castes; The Sentinels, The Servants and the Seekers:
===Sentinels===
The largest Caste, their duties were largely keeping the creatures of Thundara contained, marking stasis zones and rescuing the odd foolhardy treasure seeker. They were often well armed but tended to forgo the vehicles of the Warlords in order to maintain some stealth inside the city. Long polearms were common and whatever firearms they could muster. Watched over by their fellows for signs of instability it was a rare Sentinel who lived to retirement but all knew the important work they did.

===Servants===
The name is actually misleading as this Caste were not actually servants per sec and were arguably the most powerful and organised caste politically. They were charged with keeping the others armed and fed, whilst making sure the warlords continued to make tributes of both men and goods. Some amongst them were farmers but growing zones were rare close to Thundara and so they were rarely self sufficient themselves, thus the servants deals and wrangling was likely the main reason for the orders continued wellbeing.

===Seekers===
It was well known on Thundara that the witch kind had caused the planets downfall and it was the Seekers job to stop that happening again. Often accompanied by a companion Lion in order to aid in their destruction the Seekers travelled amongst the various warlords fiefs to do what must be done, often serving as a visible reminder of the role of the Gargoyles in keeping them all safe and encouraging more distant warlords to remember them come harvest time.

{{Picture Box Big
|Image= The long Walk.jpg
|Text= Gargoyle Seeker looking back at Thundara
}}

The ancient city of Thundara was the home of the first colonists and the source of the theorised [[OBSIDIAN CLEARANCE REQUIRED]] which brought down the original civilisation of Nemea during old night. Its spires still stand in this modern era due to the STC miracles wrought during its construction and the odd stasis which affects large parts of the city.

Before the Primarchs rise it was a warp haunted ruin, still strewn with marvels of another age but the nightmarish denizens, time dilations and threat of suddenly activating ancient systems making it preposterously dangerous for the techno barbarians of the planet to plunder. Not that many desperate individuals did not try before the rise of the Gargoyles, with them warding the perimeter attempts slowed but never entirely stopped.

The creatures which infested the ruin were a menagerie of Warp xenos known to Imperium like Psychneuein, Wemics and the odd Shrike alongside numerous other unknowable beasts and nighthaunts. The presence of these Xenos likely also accounts for the odd temporal fluxes that plagued the city, time becoming frozen over broad stretches of the city or long dead devices suddenly leaping back into life with seemingly malicious intent.

Thundara was watched over by an order of guardians known as the Gargoyles for their unstinting watch over the city. They were formed of three castes, the Sentinels who guarded the city itself, the Servants who acted as a logistical arm and the Seekers who moved amongst the other peoples of the planet. All castes often wore elaborate masks to hide their faces in the thought that this helped keep the monsters from knowing their souls though this was most prominent amongst the Sentinel caste or particularly dramatic Seekers.

==Post Compliance==

{{Picture Box Left
|Image= Thundara meml.jpg
|Text= Legion Servant carves the Names of the fallen
}}

With Thundara purged of malign warp xenos it has largely been turned to the use of the Star Lions, not exactly a fortress their many holdings are dispersed around the city between the Gargoyle wall (Raised by the Order) and the Lion wall (Raised by the Primarch). Inside the Lion Wall there are various memorials to the Primarch, Order and Legion whilst the Sisters of Silence maintain a small nunnery over the site of the [[OBSIDIAN CLEARANCE REQUIRED]] just in case and to help manage their business in the Sector.

Much of Nemea remains the same as it was under the Warlords save that they now pledge allegiance to Linnaeus and the Imperium. A Program of improvement instituted by the Order/Legion Servants has sent roads and later magrails across the plains however and with a central authority designing things the settlements, growing zones and factorums are now considerably more efficient.

With a growing population and a Legion to support plans are afoot for a series of arcologies to house workers and give more land over to both Agriculture and manufacture. In particular the Mechanicum has been very interested in the potential of the growing zones and has been granted several smaller outlying examples to experiment with. Initial results are promising with Magi confident they may be able to expand these zones greatly in the next century or so.

Currently the planet is not fortified, the presence of a Space Marine Legion being considered by [[Linnaeus]] to be more than sufficient deterrent to would be invaders, he already liberated Nemea from a dark age and has said his focus is on the planet's prosperity, he would rather Nemea be jewel than a fist. There are those amongst the Servant and Sentinel castes who make frequent appeals to change this state of affairs, though the natural predators and conditions on the surface do present a not inconsiderable barrier to would be invaders by themselves. In particular the presence of so many Nemean Lions on the surface makes scrying and other Psy powers dangerously unpredictable.

The Gargoyle order has been largely absorbed by the Legion, already expanded by [[Linnaeus]]' reforms the Servant caste encompasses most of the planets population and is often used in general to refer to Non-astartes Nemeans. The Sentinels have become the Nemean PDF and are a well drilled modern fighting force equivalent to a regular Imperial army regiment though with the cream of their potential troops inducted to the Legion they are rated as second line troops. Units of the Nemean sentinels often accompany III Legion expeditionary fleets as support troops. The Seeker and (Short lived) Lion castes have both been fully absorbed by the Legion though Seekers do still roam the Nemean plains in much the same way their human predecessors once did the majority of them are off world with the Crusade.

==Nemean Lions==
{{Picture Box Big
|Image= Nemean lion.jpg
|Text= Male Nemean Lion in the Wild
}}

The Lions of Nemea are a Feliform native to the planet with unusual abilities relating to [[OBSIDIAN CLEARANCE REQUIRED]] these remarkable beasts.

It is unknown how this unique mutation occurred or whether it may have been deliberate, the ancient settlers of Nemea were certainly skilled in gene modification. No current Mechanicum Magi have been able to discern how it may have been done or replicate the results though and Nemean Lions born elsewhere are much less potent in their abilities if any manifest at all. With their close relation and significance to the Legion experimentation has been somewhat limited though.

Seekers of the old Gargoyle order long ago learned how to bond with Nemean Lion cubs and passed this down through the millenia. It is a procedure shrouded in mystery and not without risk but having a Nemean Lion as a companion is no small reward! The practice is continued in the Legion with Gargoyles and officers often undertaking the bond trials and returning with a Lion companion of their own.

Many of these Lions see active combat alongside their Partners and often bear the scars and bionics to show it, indeed some ancient beasts are more machine than lion at this point but as long as it lives it will continue to serve alongside its master.

Hargan Desh is the seventh of the Emperor's sons, and Primarch of the [[Deathwalkers]]

==Names==

Hargan Desh. Bladebreaker, Red Reaper, The Scarred

==Biography==
===Arrival===
Falash VII was a world of techno-barbarians. Cut off from terra during old night, its peoples regressed into nomadic tribes, travelling the irradiated wasteland, battling each other for possession of the incredibly fertile zones maintained by ancient technologies. When Hargan Desh fell through the night skies, many of the tribal elders read the streaking fires in the sky as a sign, and led their peoples north towards where they fell. A great gathering of tribes assembled, but none could find any evidence of anything coming to land.
===Rise to Power===
On the sixth night, the tribal leader's feast was interrupted when the doors to their animal skin tent were thrown open and a child strode in, blood streaking his hands and face. Casting the head of a camp guard onto the table, he struck down the first enraged tribal leader who confronted him, striking off the mans head with his own axe. The crashing of weapons and screams of pain brought a crowd to the tent, but none dared enter. When the sounds subsided, the tent opened, and the child strode out before the people, coated in gore, before casting the heads of the tribal leaders at their feet. From that day forth, the child was known as Hargan Desh, or 'Red Reaper'. The elders saw the promise this youth held and declared that he had earned the right to lead. He took to the brutal ways of the tribes and, guided by the soothsayers and shaman, conquered or absorbed the tribes of Falash until one day there was nobody left to fight.

==Rediscovery==
Five moons after the conquest of the last tribe, lights were seen in the skies again, and the shamans spoke of the coming of the red dawn, the end of days. Gathering his many households, Hargan Desh led his people to the site of the starfall in the greatest warhost that world had seen. There he found a host of golden warriors, led by a champion who glowed with the light of suns. Stepping forward in challenge, Desh stood face to face with this champion For a day and a night Desh and the Champion stood and spoke before, to the astonishment of the tribes, he knelt in abasement before this supernatural creature. He declared before his gathered advisors and captains that from this day on, Falash would serve the Emperor of Mankind and that he would go forth into the stars and lead new conquests at the head of a mighty host. Given command of the VII Legion, known as the Stonebreakers, Desh set about recruiting those of the tribes who were able to be transformed into legionnaires. The peoples of the deeply superstitious tribes called these youths 'Deathwalkers' for they appeared to die, and rise again as powerful creatures, the like of which had never been seen by these people. Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

=History=

Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

== The Great Crusade ==

Second Part of History

= Legion Organisation =
The Deathwalkers legion is organised into 14 large units known as Grandhosts, each led by a Blademaster. Each Grandhost is subdivided into around 100 Hosts, and each Host comprises around 100 squads, known as 'Fists'. These Fists are often paired and train to operate in concert with each other, their warriors encouraged to compete with each other for glory.

==Unique Formations==
===The Bladesworn Brotherhood===
The Bladesworn Brotherhood is the elite first Grandhost of the Deathwalkers, led by the First Blademaster Akkan Varna. It is comprised exclusively of legionnaries hand-picked by the Primarch to form his honour guard. Each warrior is a veteran of many battles and the entire Grandhost is equipped with Terminator armour, and often carry huge two-handed axes into battle.

The Bladesworn hold a series of brutal gladiatorial games every 3 years, the winner of which is given a position of honour as Champion of the Bladesworn. Warriors of other Grandhosts are encouraged to observe these games, and so to aspire to great feats of valour and personal prowess in order to be allowed to join the Bladesworn and be entitled to compete in the next games.

==Combat Doctrine==

Deathwalkers ground assaults usually take the form of an overwhelming tide of armoured transports, filled with heavily-armoured warriors, armed for close-quarters combat. The resources which many legions would channel into longer ranged artillery and battle-tanks are often diverted into the creation of larger numbers of terminator armoured suits, allowing brutal frontal assaults.

The Deathwalkers fleet is largely outfitted with heavier armour than standard legion fleets, at the expense of some firepower, and is solely focused on delivering a swarm of boarding craft into the enemy fleet. These boarding parties will often take enemy ships in one piece if possible, eliminating the ship's crew, rather than destroying vital systems.

=Legion Homeworld=

''Main Article [[Falash VII]]'' 

Falash VII was once a verdant and temperate world of deep jungles. A large world, approximately 20 times larger than Terra, the human settlers lived in large hydroponic domes, dotted at regular intervals across the surface. An unexpected solar flare forced the human population to shelter underground for three hundred years, and when they emerged, their world had changed. The jungles were gone, replaced with an arid wasteland, the hydroponic domes were shattered, and although some of their systems still functioned, the surviving population had little knowledge of their workings.

=Primarch=

''Main Article: [[Hargan Desh]]'' 

Hargan Desh leads the Deathwalkers as he led the tribes of Falash, as a barbarian king holding court.

Wearing a brutally spiked suit of unornamented armour, Desh leads from the front, setting an example as the exemplar of what a warrior of his legion should be. Bellowing challenges to enemy champions and marking his armour with their blood and trophies, he is a terrifying sight to behold.

Desh wields a wide variety of weapons, from brutal axes to crushing maces. His favoured weapons however are the pair of enormous serrated powered axes known as the Suneaters. With expert twists of his mighty wrists, he can catch and snap the blades of enemy warriors before reversing the swing and cleaving open the surprised victim.

=Culture and Beliefs=

The tribes of Falash are of hardy stock, a minor mutation causing thicker skin and increased regenerative abilities over a standard human. This resilience made ensured that a greater proportion of initiates survived the implantation processes, giving the Deathwalkers incredible recruitment potential. When the Legion was created, Desh brought their cadres of shamans with them into the stars. These spiritual foci would lead their followers in ritual and brutal scarification, each legionnairy cutting deeply of his own skin and packing the wound with unguents to ensure that even their astartes physiology and the natural hardiness of the people of Falash could not stop the wound from healing into a brutal pattern of scarring.

These shamans also dictate when the legion will commit to war, reading the signs and portents in primitive and often lengthy bouts of soothsaying. If these portents dont read favourably, the legion will often delay or change their plans until the shamans are confident of victory.

=Geneseed=

The Deathwalkers geneseed does not exhibit any deficiencies at present. The enhanced healing and hardiness of the natives of Falash VII ensures a much higher success rate in the implantation process, as well as ensuring Deathwalkers legionaries not only have a longer average lifespan than that of many other legions. In addition, this enhanced resilience means each geneseed is not extracted and re-implanted as often, reducing the numbers of damaged or lost specimens.

When the sounds subsided, the tent opened, and the child strode out before the people, coated in gore, before casting the heads of the tribal leaders at their feet. From that day forth, the child was known as Hargan Desh, or 'Red Reaper'. The elders saw the promise this youth held and declared that he had earned the right to lead. He took to the brutal ways of the tribes and, guided by the soothsayers and shaman, conquered or absorbed the tribes of Falash until one day there was nobody left to fight.

==Rediscovery==
Five moons after the conquest of the last tribe, lights were seen in the skies again, and the shamans spoke of the coming of the red dawn, the end of days. Gathering his many households, Hargan Desh led his people to the site of the starfall in the greatest warhost that world had seen. There he found a host of golden warriors, led by a champion who glowed with the light of suns. Stepping forward in challenge, Desh stood face to face with this champion For a day and a night Desh and the Champion stood and spoke before, to the astonishment of the tribes, he knelt in abasement before this supernatural creature. He declared before his gathered advisors and captains that from this day on, Falash would serve the Emperor of Mankind and that he would go forth into the stars and lead new conquests at the head of a mighty host. Given command of the VII Legion, known as the Stonebreakers, Desh set about recruiting those of the tribes who were able to be transformed into legionnaires. The peoples of the deeply superstitious tribes called these youths 'Deathwalkers' for they appeared to die, and rise again as powerful creatures, the like of which had never been seen by these people. Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

The Deathwalkers are the VII Legionnes Astartes.

=History=

== The coming of the Primarch ==

Falash VII was a world of techno-barbarians. Cut off from terra during old night, its peoples regressed into nomadic tribes, travelling the irradiated wasteland, battling each other for possession of the incredibly fertile zones maintained by ancient technologies. When Hargan Desh fell through the night skies, many of the tribal elders read the streaking fires in the sky as a sign, and led their peoples north towards where they fell. A great gathering of tribes assembled, but none could find any evidence of anything coming to land. On the sixth night, the tribal leader's feast was interrupted when the doors to their animal skin tent were thrown open and a child strode in, blood streaking his hands and face. Casting the head of a camp guard onto the table, he struck down the first enraged tribal leader who confronted him, striking off the mans head with his own axe. The crashing of weapons and screams of pain brought a crowd to the tent, but none dared enter. When the sounds subsided, the tent opened, and the child strode out before the people, coated in gore, before casting the heads of the tribal leaders at their feet. From that day forth, the child was known as Hargan Desh, or 'Red Reaper'. The elders saw the promise this youth held and declared that he had earned the right to lead. He took to the brutal ways of the tribes and, guided by the soothsayers and shaman, conquered or absorbed the tribes of Falash until one day there was nobody left to fight.

Five moons after the conquest of the last tribe, lights were seen in the skies again, and the shamans spoke of the coming of the red dawn, the end of days. Gathering his many households, Hargan Desh led his people to the site of the starfall in the greatest warhost that world had seen. There he found a host of golden warriors, led by a champion who glowed with the light of suns. Stepping forward in challenge, Desh stood face to face with this champion For a day and a night Desh and the Champion stood and spoke before, to the astonishment of the tribes, he knelt in abasement before this supernatural creature.

The peoples of the deeply superstitious tribes called these youths 'Deathwalkers' for they appeared to die, and rise again as powerful creatures, the like of which had never been seen by these people. Desh was said to be amused by this reaction, and his legion was known unofficially as the Deathwalkers, before taking the moniker as their legion name proper in the early days of the crusade.

== The Great Crusade ==

Second Part of History

= Legion Organisation =
The Deathwalkers legion is organised into 14 large units known as Grandhosts, each led by a Blademaster. Each Grandhost is subdivided into around 100 Hosts, and each Host comprises around 100 squads, known as 'Fists'. These Fists are often paired and train to operate in concert with each other, their warriors encouraged to compete with each other for glory.

==Unique Formations==
===The Bladesworn Brotherhood===
The Bladesworn Brotherhood is the elite first Grandhost of the Deathwalkers, led by the First Blademaster Akkan Varna. It is comprised exclusively of legionnaries hand-picked by the Primarch to form his honour guard. Each warrior is a veteran of many battles and the entire Grandhost is equipped with Terminator armour, and often carry huge two-handed axes into battle.

==Combat Doctrine==

Deathwalkers ground assaults usually take the form of an overwhelming tide of armoured transports, filled with heavily-armoured warriors, armed for close-quarters combat. The resources which many legions would channel into longer ranged artillery and battle-tanks are often diverted into the creation of larger numbers of terminator armoured suits, allowing brutal frontal assaults.

The Deathwalkers fleet is largely outfitted with heavier armour than standard legion fleets, at the expense of some firepower, and is solely focused on delivering a swarm of boarding craft into the enemy fleet. These boarding parties will often take enemy ships in one piece if possible, eliminating the ship's crew, rather than destroying vital systems.

=Legion Homeworld=

''Main Article [[Falash VII]]'' 

Falash VII was once a verdant and temperate world of deep jungles. A large world, approximately 20 times larger than Terra, the human settlers lived in large hydroponic domes, dotted at regular intervals across the surface. An unexpected solar flare forced the human population to shelter underground for three hundred years, and when they emerged, their world had changed. The jungles were gone, replaced with an arid wasteland, the hydroponic domes were shattered, and although some of their systems still functioned, the surviving population had little knowledge of their workings.

=Primarch=

''Main Article: [[Hargan Desh]]'' 

Hargan Desh leads the Deathwalkers as he led the tribes of Falash, as a barbarian king holding court.

Wearing a brutally spiked suit of unornamented armour, Desh leads from the front, setting an example as the exemplar of what a warrior of his legion should be. Bellowing challenges to enemy champions and marking his armour with their blood and trophies, he is a terrifying sight to behold.

Desh wields a wide variety of weapons, from brutal axes to crushing maces. His favoured weapons however are the pair of enormous serrated powered axes known as the Suneaters. With expert twists of his mighty wrists, he can catch and snap the blades of enemy warriors before reversing the swing and cleaving open the surprised victim.

=Culture and Beliefs=

The tribes of Falash are of hardy stock, a minor mutation causing thicker skin and increased regenerative abilities over a standard human. This resilience made ensured that a greater proportion of initiates survived the implantation processes, giving the Deathwalkers incredible recruitment potential. When the Legion was created, Desh brought their cadres of shamans with them into the stars. These spiritual foci would lead their followers in ritual and brutal scarification, each legionnairy cutting deeply of his own skin and packing the wound with unguents to ensure that even their astartes physiology and the natural hardiness of the people of Falash could not stop the wound from healing into a brutal pattern of scarring.

These shamans also dictate when the legion will commit to war, reading the signs and portents in primitive and often lengthy bouts of soothsaying. If these portents dont read favourably, the legion will often delay or change their plans until the shamans are confident of victory.

=Geneseed=

The Deathwalkers geneseed does not exhibit any deficiencies at present. The enhanced healing and hardiness of the natives of Falash VII ensures a much higher success rate in the implantation process, as well as ensuring Deathwalkers legionaries not only have a longer average lifespan than that of many other legions. In addition, this enhanced resilience means each geneseed is not extracted and re-implanted as often, reducing the numbers of damaged or lost specimens.
