Symbol of the Host of Pentacles[1a]

The Host of Pentacles was one of the First Legion's Hosts, during the Great Crusade.[1a]

Overview

Now little more than a forgotten legend to most, the Host of Pentacles was the earliest attempt to incorporate the war-witches of Old Earth into the line of battle, to bring the might of the psyker to bear upon the foes of Mankind. It was a Host oft-maligned by those its adepts fought alongside, for in its early days there were as many calamities as triumphs for the battle psykers of the First Legion, and in time it would be an experiment that was brought to a close by the Grandmaster of the Legion[1a], Hector Thrane, following the Sealing of the Black Gate.[1b]
