85th Company, Blood Angels Legion
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The 85th Armoured Assault Company of the Blood Angels Legion, known as the "Crimson Monarchs", is known to have been active during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
Overview
The company was dedicated to the rapid onslaught of massed war engines to overrun and annihilate foes in the open field. It was famed for its Land Raider line-breaker squadrons that carried the Legion’s infantry into the heart of enemy formations while Predator squadrons and super-heavy vehicles, such as Fellblades and Falchions, were tasked with providing overwhelming support fire and the destruction of enemy armour. The frequent deployment of these armoured behemoths on the field of battle earned the 85th Company its moniker, the ‘Crimson Monarchs’.[1]
