Host
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Hosts are the units of organization of the Word Bearers since the Horus Heresy. Roughly analogous to Space Marine Chapters and Companies, each Word Bearer host is led by a Dark Apostle appointed by the Dark Council of Sicarus, with military decisions overseen by a Coryphaus. Hosts are self-contained fighting forces and contain their own fleet and legions of troops.[1]
