Old Hundred
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Old Hundred is a term given to the original Regiments of the Imperial Army.[1a]
Overview
Many formations of human soldiers recruited from Terra fought under the Emperor's banner during the Unification Wars. Once Unity had been achieved on Terra, most of these formations were forced to disband or actively purged due to their resistance to the new order. Some, however, were allowed to continue, provided they pledge their loyalty to the Emperor. At the onset of the Great Crusade, these formations were dubbed the "Old Hundred" and continued to fight for the Emperor throughout the galaxy. The Old Hundred were viewed with great respect and distinction.[1a]
