• War of the False Primarch — 860.M33. Convened as part of the Pentarchy of Blood to enact the judgement of the High Lords of Terra, systematically destroying eleven chapters of the Adeptus Astartes judged Traitoris Perdita.^[3]

Gene-Seed Origin

Although the Death Eagles are believed to trace their origins back to the Raven Guard through an indeterminate founding^[1], they bear some similarities to a group of Emperor's Children active during the Horus Heresy. The 34^th Millennial of the Legion, also known as the Death Eagles, remained loyal to the Imperium during the conflict while retaining the purple and gold colours of their Legion; their ultimate fate is unknown.^[5]
