Crimson Conclave

The Crimson Conclave, Sect of the Cult of Time, Thousand Sons

Formed from the remnants of war bands that were badly mauled in the second Siege of Fenris. It was originally commanded by the venerable Daemon Prince Vol’Tarl. Since his ascension it has been led by Khaladin, the Auric Magi. It is a small Sect in the Cult of Time, it serves as a line company of the Legion.
Sect Thrallbands:
* Crimson Helm: Arch-Magister Khaladin Cyrus, an old friend of Vol’Tarl’s and a former Sergeant of the 7th Fellowship who commands the Sect.
* Crimson Spear: All Legionaries in this group served in the 1st Fellowship before the Horus Heresy. Led by the High-Magister Heka Amun (who was at Nikaea, a member of the Order of Ruin at Terra and served in the Black Legion before returning to the XV). The Thrallband includes the Scarab Occult Sorcerers; Anubis, Xerxes and Darius as well as their Scarab Occult rubrics. It is supported by the Land Raider Vengeance and the Ancient Dreadnaught Tar’ruck.
* Crimson Sword: This is all that remains of the “Osiris-10”, a former circle of the 6th Fellowship. It once numbered over 200 warriors, now it is less than 40. It is led by Magister Ingenus, he is supported by the sorcerers Sobek, Set, Ra and their Rubric marines. The Thrallbands extra firepower comes the Ancients Nai’del and Pharum.
* Cruiser Chariot of Osiris: A Crusade era Styx class carrier. As well as potent ship-to-ship batteries and bombardment cannons it has two Swiftdeath fighter and two Doomfire bomber squadrons as well as troop-landers and at least three Thunderhawk Gunships. It has over two thousand mortal warriors, known as the Oblitus, embarked. When required can accommodate the entire Sects Astartes warriors. It is crewed by slaves, renegades and mutants and captained by Lady Nyteshade, a turncoat Imperial Navy officer.
Campaigns of the Crimson Conclave:
The Crimson Conclave has had mixed fortunes since been formed in the wake of Cicatrix Maledictum. It has taken part in the following campaigns:
* M.41/M.42, Vigilus Campaign; Deployed to the bastion world to disrupt Imperial command and control. They faced repeated setbacks against the Necrons which forced the Conclave into a constant retreat. They were able to  defeat a force from the Ultramarines 2nd Company and did seize parts of the city of Dontaria. 
* M.42, The Crimson Expedition: Discovering a map on Vigilus that supposedly led to a lost shard of Magnus they set out in search of their gene sire. This journey took them across the Imperium Sanctus and brought them into contact with the Ultramarines, Dark Angels, the Black Legion, Iron Warriors and the Deathguard. Eventually they recovered the shard and returned it to the Crimson King. 
* M.42, Tarsus Campaign: Whilst on route to raid an Imperial Shrine world, Ahriman appeared on the bridge of the Chariot of Osiris. He explained that an arcane artefact, the Helm of Valthos, was on the Ultramarines world of Tarsus and that it must be retrieved before the Deathguard got there. The campaign that followed quickly descended into bitter skirmishes which lasted many months, Both sides suffered great losses but the Deathguard were able to claim the helm in the end.
* M.42, Defence of the Prosperan Rift: After Tarsus the Sect journeyed back to Prospero. They joined the defence of Magnus’s fledging empire. To replace their losses they “recruited” Rubic marines from other war bands, there has been little time to repaint their armour though. The sect also reorganised into two large Thrallbands instead of four small ones. During the defence they fought against Ork war band’s, the Deathguard, the Hawk Lords and Ultramarines chapters as well as assaults by the Grey Knights.
