The Deathwing formed mainly from the remains of the [[Host of Crowns]] of the [[Unification Wars|Unification]] and [[Great Crusade]]-era First Legion. This Host was famed for its line breaking and marksmen abilities, and those of its Inner Circle who survived an infamous swore oaths that no member of the wing would ever leave the field of battle in the hands of the enemy, accepting death over dishonor or retreat. During the [[Horus Heresy]] they acted as a special operations unit specializing in not only line-breaking but also as elite veteran infantry and honor guards.{{Fn|11}}
The Deathwing is one of the two current incarnations of the original [[Hexagrammaton]] formations of the Dark Angels [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] that continues into the [[41st Millennium]].{{Fn|66a}}
