Editing Prospero Spireguard

[[File:Prospero_Spireguard.jpg|230px|right|thumb|Prospero Spireguards pre-Heresy.]]

The Prospero Spireguards were once the the local Imperial Army/PDF's stationed to defend the planets of [[Prospero]] during the [[Great Crusade]]. However, after the [[Horus Heresy]], the Spireguard, now corrupted by the forces of [[Chaos]], would continue to fight under the [[Thousand Sons]]. They saw action in the siege of the [[Space Wolves]] homeworld of [[Fenris]], this time led by [[Magnus the Red]] himself. Despite the corruption however, the Spireguards remains one of the most disciplined and cohesive Traitor Guard regiments in the entire Galaxy. This is thanks in no part of the fact of Magnus's rule on [[Sortiarius]] who still remain sentimental over the loss of his original homeworld. This combined with the natural psychic brilliance of the Thousand Sons creates a competent military force that rivals many [[Imperial Guard]] regiments.

==Overview & History==
During the Compliance action on Ark Reach Secundus the Guard were noted to wear crimson greatcoats, heavy boots and silver shakoes lined with fur cut from the wings of the snow-shrikes, an indigenous bird used by the Avenians as weapons.

Officers were noted to wear crimson jackets decorated with brass buttons and gold frogging. They were also outfitted with silver helmets, curved sabres and laspistols. 

A detachment of these men were onboard the warship Waning Moon under the command of Thousand Son Space Marine Mhotep during the early start of the Horus Heresy. They were set to board the mysterious vessel, the Furious Abyss, but were ultimately killed, when the Furious Abyss destroyed the Waning Moon. Only one rescue pod was able to leave, with only Mhotep aboard. 

It is unknown what the Spireguard looks like now after the Heresy, but it is most likely they haven't change that much due to the aforementioned sentimental nostalgia of Magnus the Red.
