Of the bitter betrayals that led to the destruction of all but one of the knightly houses on
Chrysis, House Krast holds the base treachery of [[Legio Mortis]] to be the worst. As one of
Mars’ own Titan Legions, the '''Death’s Heads ''' fought alongside the Knights of House Krast onmany occasions during the early years of the [[Great Crusade]]. However, after siding with
Horus during the ensuing civil war, the Death’s Heads were reborn in the image of the plague
god [[Nurgle]], and led the assault that devastated Chrysis and annihilated the planet’s lesser
houses.{{Fn|1a}}
will pale in comparison to that on Chrysis should a Knight of Krast fell one of the Legio
Mortis. The Noble will be treated to a triumph in his honour and he will henceforth be known
as a '''Headtaker'''. Each Headtaker bears a broken Death’s Head symbol on his Knight suit or
tabard – a battle honour reminding all of his heroic deed and celebrating the destruction of a
hated foe.{{Fn|1a}}
