Sons of Horus

The Sons of Horus, originally known as the Luna Wolves, were the XVI Legion of the original twenty Space Marine Legions. Their Primarch was Horus, known to them as Horus Lupercal, and to Imperial history as the instigator of the Horus Heresy, the first great Imperial civil war. Following the Horus Heresy most of the Sons of Horus escaped into the Eye of Terror, where they were largely shattered during the Legion Wars. Following the Battle of Harmony large amounts of the Legion were later absorbed into former First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon’s Black Legion. A few warbands, later known as the “Thrice-Cursed Traitors‎”, were able to remain independent and still operate as Sons of Horus.
