Host of Crowns
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Symbol of the Host of Crowns[1]
The Host of Crowns was one of the Hosts of the First Legion of the Legiones Astartes.[1]
Overview
Among the oldest of those Hosts still known in the records of the First Legion, being the original core of the First Legion's warriors who had served as champions among the vast hosts of the pre-Unity armies on Terra. The Host of Crowns specialised as linebreakers and vanguard warriors, experts in the honour-duels that had once been a key feature of Mankind's wars and icons of victory as much as they were fighters.[1]
In time, the Host would be reorganised into the six Wings of the Hexagrammaton.[1]
