Grey Shields

Space Marine Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex: Space Marines, p. 33

In the early years of the Indomitus crusade which saw many new space marines awakened from stasis to form new chapters, they would largely serve in the command of lord Guilliman as colourless sons. These Grey Shields were a mix of astartes born from multiple chapters heritage thrown together for the need of the Imperium before forming their own successors. These Grey Shields were blank slates, changing tactics and methodology as needed with the traits of all Astartes however, they were only constituted by the newer Primaris Marines limiting their equipment.
