Legionies Astartes Warhounds – Legion (Penitent) Tactical Squad led by Sgt. Edekon

The discipline corps operated outside of the usual command structure of the legions and legionaries assigned to their oversight were stripped of all rank, formed into new units, and led into battle by officers such as Edekon, holding notional ranks such as ‘Sergeant’.

Despite serving under Haadlingen’s command during the heyday of the Great Crusade, Edekon would go on to be one of the many Warhounds who embraced the madness of Angron, submitting to the Butcher’s Nails and ascension through the ranks by murderous force of arms. Where his former mentor drifted to the periphery of the renamed World Eaters, Edekon remained at the heart of the so-called ‘Bloody 13th‘ expeditionary fleet. The two would meet again, for the final time, on the killing fields of Istvaan III however, with Edekon falling to Haadlingen’s axe, shortly before the old man himself perished in Angron’s massacre of the loyalist survivors.
