66th Armoured Company
|
The 66th Armoured Company, also known as the Goretreads and Molossans, is a warband of the World Eaters.[1]
History
Specializing in armored warfare, many warriors of the 66th Armoured Company are completely fused to the machines they operate. Their neurosystems are entirely entwined with their vehicles, so that when they crush an enemy beneath their treads they feel it as if it were in their own gauntlets. Nonetheless, they are fond of close combat and each tank has been covered in blades, spinning saws, and chain flails that are just as good as smashing waves of infantry as they are anti-tank obstacles. The Goretreads are notorious throughout Ultima Segmentum, having annihilated Imperial forces many times their number. Their greatest enemies are the Aurora Chapter, who also specialize in tank warfare. This enmity is said to extend back ten millennia to the now-mysterious Battle of the Crimson Forge.[1]
They are currently among the World Eaters warbands taking part in their Daemon Primarch Angron's Blood Wave.[1]
