Cataphract Generationals

The Cataphract Generationals were an extra-sector assembly of mortal soldiers sworn to the Ruinous Powers. Organized into Kill-Brigades and led by individuals with the rank of hetmen, the Cataphract Generationals were likely warp-twisted descendants of the infamous Volscanii Cataphracts which betrayed the Imperium at the Battle of Tyrok Fields on lost Cadia.

In the service of the Onyx King, more than thirty Kill-Brigades of the Generationals participated in the Fall of Tectonia Prime. While primarily used as semi-elite occupation forces, the Generationals were forced into a shock assault role many times, especially when lesser hordes of mutant rabble or conscripted renegades were unavailable.
