Crimson Sons
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
|
This article is about the group within the Night Lords Legion; for the Tzeentch Warband, see Crimson Sons (Warband). |
The Crimson Sons were a group of Space Marines formed from the remnants of the VIIIth Legion's 9th Company, which was nearly destroyed in pacifying the domain of Oxitania on Terra, during the Unification Wars.[1]
The survivors were then ironically oathbonded to Gotha, Oxitania's former King, who was given the rank of Rogue Trader by the Emperor, instead of being executed. The Crimson Sons remained in Gotha's service for some time, until they were allowed to reunite with their Legion. What became of the Crimson Sons afterwards is unknown, but they may have been killed in one of the countless battles that followed the Dropsite Massacre.[1]
