Dreadwing Destroyer Squad

The Dreadwing Destroyer Squad carries the First Legion's darkest sanction: the licence to employ weapons the rest of the Imperium would rather pretend do not exist. Rad-cleansers, phosphex bombs, and chem-munitions are their grim tools, wielded against foes the Legion has marked not merely for defeat but for utter erasure from the galaxy's memory. Where they pass, nothing lives, and the ground itself is left poisoned for generations to come.

Mustered from within the Dreadwing, these legionaries embrace a doctrine of annihilation that colder brothers find difficult to stomach, for there is no honour in the deaths they deal, only finality. During the Heresy their willingness to unleash extinction without hesitation made them a weapon of terror as much as slaughter, and enemies who learned the Dreadwing had been committed against them often broke before the first canister ever fell, knowing that surrender would buy them nothing but a slower end.
