First-slain
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The First-slain are Greyshields descended from the Space Wolves, who were killed in the Indomitus Crusade before the Chapter officially recognized its Primaris Successor Chapters.[1]
Description
They are held in great honour by the Primaris sons of Leman Russ, especially those in the Wolfspear. For that Successor Chapter, an oath sworn upon the First-slain is as sombre and binding as any they can utter. It is also thought, that the Wolfspear's pale grey livery, may owe something to the colorless plate worn by the Greyshields.[1]
