Black Marine
The Black Marines are elite formations of Grundstok Thunderers specialised in the elimination of non-physical entities. Their name refers to the obsidian armour carapaces they bear regardless of their sky-port.[1a]
History
The Black Marines were a cross-skyport initiative to combat the waves of Nighthaunt unleashed by the Necroquake.[2a] The first conflict to feature formations of Black Marines was the Wraith Fleet Conflict, in which they successfully defeated the ghostly corsairs of Varkos Varactyr.[1a]
Equipment
Black Marines wear obsidian armour carapaces outfitted with various esoteric modifications and runes. They are armed with scatter-shot rifles, aethershot rifles glowing witchfire-green and other anti-ethereal weaponry such as celestium burst-grenades, scintillator lenses and aether-vapour projectors.[1a][2a]
