Legion of the Hawk

The Ist Legion, formerly known as the Sloggers which took on the title of the Legion of the Hawk following the rediscovery of their Primarch, are one of the twenty space marine legions created by the Emperor of Mankind to be his vanguard during a campaign to unify all fledgling human civilizations across the galaxy; the Great Crusade. They were sired by Dain 'the Hawk' Vaniir.

Originally a bog-standard fighting force with no special qualities to them other than the privilege of being the first Legion. The Legion of the Hawk enjoyed the luxury of being able to field an astonishing amount of tanks, aircraft and other vehicles which they used to efficient, but underwhelming effect.

Following the introduction of their Primarch however they have reorganized into the most meticulously well-kept war machine the Imperium has yet seen, devoting entire Companies to specialized roles and taking full advantage of their status as the First.

Organisation
The Legion of the Hawk maintains a strict code of material for their Companies: the 1st is comprised entirely of Hawks in terminator armour, the 2nd specializes in assault and transport aircraft, the 3rd excels at armoured warfare and lightning attacks. Though each Company specializes in a specific aspect of the Legions overall approach to warfare, when operating as one the Legion of the Hawk is unrivalled in tactical flexibility, matching its own insane dedication to specialization by deploying these specialized formations together to produce the most formidable combined arms army in the entire Imperium.
