==Legion Tactics== Drawing from Kadoshim tactics, Barrow Lords are masters of the way of Ul-galgal Ha'Tehom, the Beast in the Deep. Barrow Lords forces may spend days analyzing and stalking their foes, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with overwhelming force. The Barrow Lords favor mass heavy infantry deployment into melee from transport craft, supplemented by air-dropped support vehicles and airborne fire power. Towards this end, specialized scouting and fire support teams are often deployed in advance, waiting in position and gathering data until the moment to strike comes. Another Legion specialty are assault terminator squads, often equipped with stealth or teleportation, designed to appear suddenly behind enemy lines and wreak havoc. Such formations are favored as they allow heavy weapons to be brought to bear at point blank range. Their tradition taught that the habitable spaces were far and few and the dangers great. The truth of reality was darkness. But from the void came many things. From it came the screaming daemons that sometimes intruded on ships, but also from it came the gift of navigation and psykers. The dark was a place of danger, but also of opportunity for a wise and worthy warrior, provided they could master the monster within. The Kadoshim did not believe their ancient stories, but they were important none the less. They said that the gods had tried fashioning man, Dagon, the fish man, had made them in the form of terrible beasts, full of a raging hunger and ferocity. The other gods were horrified, and wished to destroy it, but Dagon said that alone among the gods, he and his brother Yam were from the void and knew the terrors that waited there. Man would have to be a monster if it was to survive amongst monsters. However, the Ba'al Hadam (Who was later to be identiified with the god emperor) said that if they were to be worthy of existence, they must be more than monsters, and so clothed humanity in their sacred and fair form. Thus it was that humanity was made. As such, when the Barrow Lords go to war, it is with the inner beast in mind. A favorite tactic is to drop ships out of warp and glide silently through the darkness, systems powered down, a spread of torpedoes launched in advance. Evading sensors, the ships power up at point blank range, seconds after the torpedoes impact their targets. The fleet bombards, while every concievable aircraft is scrambled. These forces streak towards the ground, dropping landraiders and other heavy tanks along with terminators and breacher marines.
