====The Sin-eaters of Iron Gaze====

In decades following their founding and settling the planet of Nazareth, Iron Gaze continued their research of the trove of data slates they found.

Around year 750 M41, a data slate containing research of a certain Magos Biologis was found. The research was focused on gene-manipulation in order to give humans natural anti-Warp, and therefore anti-corruption, resistance.

Intrigued by the research, Iron Gaze sought to alter their own geneseed with what they found. It seemed like they succeeded, giving their new recruits a low-level anti-Warp resistance, but at cost of suppressing psyker abilities completely and deteriorated control of Omophagea, making them somewhat more bloodthirsty. At first, at least.

As they soon found out, recruits that carry the Blank gene, even if its recessive, started exhibiting some very strange abilities. First of all, after implantation of the geneseed, their Blank gene became active, making them incredibly powerful Blanks, able to control their auras. Furthermore, their Omophagea became even more stimulated, making them feel bloodthirst and desire for enemy flesh more keenly than their brothers. A positive side of this mutation that they are able to consume enemy brain and gain extremely detailed knowledge about their victims life.

While Blanks are extremely rare, people carrying the gene recessively turned out to be a little less so. In fact, Iron Gaze very soon had several dozen such individuals within their chapter. This prompted creation of a special rank that replaced now extinct Librarians: the Sin-eaters. Due to their importance, Sin-eaters are the only members of the chapter that get to wear otherwise rare Terminator armors.

====Tactical Doctrine====

Iron Gaze are firm believers in effects of fear, making terror the focus of their tactics. Furthermore, they jealously guard their gear and technology, including the augments of their fallen, so they aim to prevent any death or loss whenever possible. This led to them sticking to old Imperial saying “no kill like overkill”, so they tend to attack in full chapter force, and rarely pull back their punches by deploying the entirety of their vast armory.

Usual offensive effort of Iron Gaze starts with a squad led by Sin-eater and accompanied by several Iron Gaze members of varying ranks infiltrating deep within enemy lines. Their job is to scout enemy positions, figure out how they are organized and identify key targets. When what they deem is the most knowledgeable officer as far as enemy organization goes is found, they proceed with a precision strike so Sin-eater can consume the target and instantly acquire intimate details about enemy forces. The half-eaten target is then left where it can instil as much fear as possible. The squad then pulls out from the zone, delivering the information to Commander at hand.

When the actual attack starts, the first ones to strike are their spacecrafts with relentless orbital bombardment to soften up the enemy lines. What follows are deep-striking custom-made Hades Breaching Drills, breaking enemy formations and allowing Iron Gaze Astartes to strike quickly. Finally, in comes the main force, led by the Iron Gaze Centurion Warsuits, of which the chapter possesses enormous amounts.

While the battle rages, Sin-eater squads re-infiltrate behind enemy lines, searching for enemy commanders to “extract” information from and preventing enemy to reorganize after the initial shock of such attack.

After the battle ends, the survivors, if there are any, are usually left heavily traumatized by the terrifying Iron Gaze.
