Umbral Sentinels

A hammer against the forces of the warp, the Umbral Sentinels are a Primaris Chapter developed from the geneseed of the Grey Knights. Far from perfected, their developing psyker powers do not yet measure to the powers of the Grey Knights, and delays have halted the deployment of new technologies adapted from Grey Knight weaponry. Despite this, the Sentinels have shown that with each generation, they grow in strength, and may soon match the Grey Knights in psychic might. 
In the aftermath of Roboute Guilliman's return, and his crusade from Ultramar to Terra, then back again, the Grey Knights became invaluable allies to his cause. Well aware of how these warriors functioned as absolute anathema to the forces of Chaos, but knowing their numbers were finite, he commissioned the creation of Primaris successors, intended to support them, and contain the ever present threat of Chaos. Passing the commission to Belisarius Cawl, he further passed the task to a disciple, Uriah Fenix. While his relationship has been frosty with the Grey Knights, they have begrudgingly worked alongside him, and the Ordo Malleus have provided as much as possible, in a fevered attempt to create a new weapon against Chaos. 
While a skilled Magos, the careful task of combining Cawl’s baroque work with the altered geneseed of the Grey Knights was not an easy assignment. While the resulting Astarte can summon their Aegis, and wield a Nemesis force weapon, their psychic might pales next to a Grey Knight. Like wise, adapting the Tacticus Armour to integrate the technology to project the Aegis has been of little issue, but further technology such as personal teleporters, Psycannons, and Psilencers remain out of reach. 
With each generation Fenix comes closer to perfecting the Sentinels, drawing forth ever greater psychic powers. For now, they serve as vital shock troops against daemonic forces, for while they lack specialised equipment, they are still a lethal threat to any and all daemons.
