From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

The Hounds of Abaddon are a warband of the Black Legion.[1]
Contents
Overview
Reveling in close combat like true devotees of Khorne, the Hounds of Abaddon are not a single unified warband but rather are a mob of vicious warriors led by Urkanthos, commander of the Black Legion's Fleet. Since the 13th Black Crusade, they have been led by Threxos Hellbreed.[1] They adorn their armour and weapons in both black and red to showcase their dual loyalty to Abaddon as well as Khorne.[5]
