Archived: The Host

The Host, also known as the Host of Molos, is a Traitor Legion of Chaos Space Marines that is the first in infamy, if not in treachery, whose name resounds as a curse throughout the scattered and war-torn realms of humanity. It is not one of the original Twenty Space Marine Legions, instead being a vast amalgamation of warbands and of former members from all Legions. The Host is the primary instrument of its Master, the Archtraitor Molos, to overthrow the Emperor of Mankind and seize control of the Imperium in the name of Chaos. Such are the crimes of the Host that it is easy to forget that the past was very different, and that there was a time when its Astartes from all legions and chapters and their perfidious master Molos were once considered proud servants of the Legiones Astartes, and were considered the most favoured servants of the Emperor of Mankind.
