Lore & origins

When a Greater Daemon or Chaos Sorcerer retreats behind fortress walls or phalanxes of cultists, the Grey Knights unleash their Interceptor Squads. Equipped with experimental Personal Teleporter packs forged in the vaults of Titan and Deimos, Interceptors require no orbital teleportarium matrix to leap through the Immaterium. Instead, the squad pools its psychic will and steps directly into a micro-breach in reality, skimming across the surface of the Warp to rematerialise in a clap of displaced air inches behind their quarry.

Appearance & wargear

Clad in unpainted silver Aegis power armour inscribed with anti-daemonic wards, Interceptors are distinguished by the four elongated teleportation stabiliser rods rising from the corners of their backpacks.

Weapons & Vehicles

Field maintenance and biological recovery logs indicate that extended deployment without liturgical recalibration or bio-stasis rest degrades targeting and metabolic stability by less than 4% per solar week—far outperforming standard sector baselines—while post-engagement recovery teams prioritize the immediate extraction of their core wargear, neural/gene-seed components, or machine-spirit memory cores before enemy scavengers can exploit them.
