The Flawless Host was originally known as the '''Shining Blades'''. From a [[gene-seed]] once considered free from taint, they were known for their purity and rigid mental training. Their reputation and string of victories produced a great hubris, believing they could never be defeated. This led to the [[Berillia Massacre]] in 498.[[M34]], in which they massacred slaughtered all they came across in a frenzy of indignation after their magnificence was supposedly questioned. Becoming overwhelmed by [[Slaanesh]] and renaming themselves the Flawless Host, they have been a plague to the [[Imperium]] ever since.{{Fn|3}}

The Flawless Host is known to have taken part in the [[5th Black Crusade]]. In 006.[[M40]], the Flawless [[ Pyrocataclysm of Vilidad Prime|invaded]] the world of [[Vilidad Prime]] after condemning a lack of beauty among its populace.{{Fn|7}}

After their introduction in [[Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition)]], the Flawless Host were speculated to be an offshoot of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Traitor Legion]], because of the resemblance of their armour and their shared devotion to [[Slaanesh]]. However, the [[Codex: Chaos Space Marines (6th Edition)|6th Edition Codex]] fills in their prior history, and confirms that they are a [[Renegade Chapter]].

A warband of Emperor's Children calling itself the "Flawless Host" assaulted a unnamed Imperial world as part of a larger army, The [[Incarnadine Host]]. The detachment of Emperor's Children referred to themselves as the Flawless Host. However millenia , millennia of raiding, defeat, bitterness and bloodshed had reduced them to only five Marines. Before the last Imperial bastion was destroyed, in-fighting saw all but one of the Flawless Host killed. The survivor, a disfigured [[Apothecary]] named Le'Furion took the bodies of his fallen brothers and planned on using [[Dark Eldar]] technology to create a new body for himself out of the corpses. The Imperial bastion fell soon after to the [[World Eaters]] warband, the Blood Hounds. {{Fn|4}}
