 I looked through some of my old WD's last night and found the 
following:

	WD 130 states that there is a SM Fortress Monastery in The 
Palantine Hive (I think this is also Hive Primus).  A map in the 
article indicates a large spire as belonging solely to the Space 
Marines.

	In WD 131 the concept drawings include a Blood Angel model with 
a black shoulder pad "indicating he is stationed on Necromunda."

	In WD 136 (?) there is a Space Hulk Space Hulk scenario built 
around a Genestealer outbreak in the Acropolis Hive.  In the background 
Lord Helmawr requests the assistance of the Ultramarines 'permanently 
stationed on Necromunda.'

	And of course, WD 137 features a Blood Drinker's captain on the 
front cover gunning down some scavvies.  He has a very ornate left 
shoulder pad with the word "Necromunda" scrolled across the bottom.


	It hould be noted, however, that, since GW is known for 
rewriting their background material, all of this info may be wrong 
sometime in the future.  My best guess is that a company of the Blood 
Drinkers is stationed on Necromunda. (I remember reading somewhere that 
it was the 9th Company, can anyone confirm this?)  Both the Blood 
Angels and the Ultramarines have been redone since those articles were 
written 5 years ago.
