Their first name came from, as might be guessed, the First Pacification of Luna in the Unification Wars, where they broke the Coriolis Enclaves so thoroughly that even to this day, the number “sixteen” is known as the “ counting of the wolf” in some parts of Terra. They acted like alpha predators, focused on ending fights before they became unnecessary wars of attrition. They loved a fight which was over almost as it began – swift and bloody, with a deadly strike to the core of the enemy to rip the heart from the foe. This Legion drew its recruits from Terra, reportedly from hunter-clans and ruthless tribal folk – whose traditions and culture fuelled an abrasive and aggressive fighting style in the early days of the XVI.
The Sons of Horus were once the Luna Wolves. Sadly, like Icarus of old, they flew too close to the sun of their own pride and fell the furthest of all.
However, the Sons of Horus were not always a ruthless, broken rabble of traitors – once they were noble, loyal, effective and ambitious, a true beacon of Imperial might and light. Formerly the Luna Wolves, they were renamed in the image of their leader – Horus Lupercal, the arch-Traitor and instigator of the great Heresy. If you have any understanding of the Horus Heresy, you will know about the Sons of Horus. “The Sons of Horus – the Legion of the sire of heresy, the first in infamy if not in treachery, whose name now resounds as a curse throughout the scattered and war-torn realms of humanity…” Horus The Warmaster – The Favoured Son, Lupercal.Garviel Loken – Last Captain of the Luna Wolves.Ezekyle Abaddon – First Captain of the Sons of Horus, Favoured of the Warmaster.Maloghurst the Twisted – Bearer of the Eye, Equerry of the Warmaster.
