Editing Sun Killer (section)

==Overview==
Sun Killers had a reputation of being [[That Guy|pompous pricks]] even by the lofty standards of the Emperor's Children at that time. So up-their-ass, that their arrogance was suspected to be the reason behind their eschewing indiscriminate primitive projectile weapons, in favour of more elegant and precise energy weapons. The Sun Killers used these to great effect in war, operated far ahead of their Legion's battle lines, in pursuit of an enemy's largest bioforms or war machines. In doing so, they ensured that they and they alone destroyed such targets, with exacting precision and defined kill shots. In the rare instances that the Emperor's Children opted to make a strategic departure from the field, it fell to the Sun Killers to provide covering fire for their Battle Brothers. True to their name, Sun Killers all wield energy weapons. But contrary to popular beliefs, they ''don't'' have a [[Slaanesh|raging boner]] for plasma; they're not [[Dark Angels]]. Rather, they typically wield a diverse range of directed-energy weapons of which plasma just so happens to be part of the armoury. They carry [[Lascannon]]s, [[Volkite Culverin]]s, [[Plasma Cannon]]s or [[Multi-Melta]]s, with an additional [[Chainsword]] if things get too close for comfort. Despite their high and refined standards, they all wore the [[Herp|derpy and bargain-bin]] [[Mark V: Heresy Armour]] for some reason.

When they were grouped in squadrons, they were individually referred to as a Sun Killer and were led by officers known as a '''Novaetor'''. The elite of their formation bore the mark of the Sundered Star upon their gilded panoply. The Novaetor can be armed with either a [[Power Weapon]], [[Power Fist]] or a [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Charnabal Sabre|Charnabal Sabre]] and can swap out his heavy-duty energy weapon for a lighter [[Combi-weapon]], such as a [[Combi-Flamer]], [[Combi-Plasma]], [[Combi-Grav]], [[Combi-Melta]] or [[Combi-Volkite]]. Granted, him using a combi-weapon that has a ''Bolter'' attached to it, [[Derp|kind of defeats the Sun Killer's memo.]] The Novaetor most likely wore [[Artificer Armour]], but since we have no models of him, [[Fail|there is a chance he also wore the Heresy Armour too.]]

These warriors were renowned across the Imperium as space Ahabs, due to their Great Crusade exploits, where they had, time and again, sought out to destroy the deadliest Xenos monstrosities and armoured behemoths. Curiously information about Sun Killer squads that failed in their mission, or fell to the enemy, though, are all but unknown. Some believe that all such failures are stricken from the Emperor's Children's records by order of their [[Primarch]] [[Fulgrim]] himself. In doing so, there was nothing left to tarnish the flawless honour associated with the Sun Killers.

It is unknown what has happened to them post-Heresy. But given the sheer level of sex, drugs and rock and roll which comprised the modern-day Emperor's Children, such habits would have a severe negative impact on their quality. They were most likely dissolved and, if not, most likely replaced their [[Plasma]]s for something more [[Sonic Weaponry|shoutier.]]
