Cruciform of the Crusade
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Cruciform of the Crusade is an eight-foot stone cross and Aquila, a relic of the Deathwatch of the Jericho Reach, since the Argoth uprisings.[1]
During the Argoth uprisings, a squad of Battle-Brothers were forced to make a stand in an Imperial Chapel, where they held their ground for several days. At one point in the fighting a heretic missile knocked the Aquila down from the chapel’s spire. Enraged by the affront to the God-Emperor, one of the Battle-Brothers dropped his weapons and hefted the Aquila on his shoulder, charging the heretic lines, instantly followed by his brothers and ending the battle in less than an hour.
