The 85th Armoured Assault [[Space Marine Company|Company]] of the [[Blood Angels]] [[Legion]], known as the '''''"Crimson Monarchs"''''', is known to have been active during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
== Overview ==
The company was dedicated to the rapid onslaught of massed war engines to overrun and
annihilate foes in the open field. It was famed for its [[Land Raider]] line-breaker squadrons that carried the Legion’s infantry into the heart of enemy formations while [[Predator]] squadrons and super-heavy vehicles, such as [[Fellblade]]s and [[FalchionSuper Heavy Tank Destroyer|Falchions]]s, were tasked with providing overwhelming support fire and the destruction of enemy armour. The frequent deployment of these armoured behemoths on the field of battle earned the 85th Company its moniker, the ‘Crimson Monarchs’.{{Fn|1}}
