Editing Leviathan Host (section)

==Special units==

===Hyksos===
The elite First Company terminators of the Leviathan Host were bequeathed their title by a conquered populace. In their unearthly gilt armor, they were thought to be kings or lords and were offered much tribute. As the Host degenerated into outright worship of the Ruinous Powers, the Hyksos  were offered in tribute to Chaos. Each had powerful daemons, themselves centurions of daemonkind in the Warp, bound to their souls. Though few had their mortal form survive the brutal process, this merging created what must have been among the most terrifying warriors of the entire Heresy, great pillars of daemonic flesh ensconced in unholy plating. They fought alone during the Siege of Terra, with more in common to a Greater Daemon or dreadnought than the Terminators they once were.

===The Stygian Order===
Named after an ancient sect of Achaemenid warrior ascetics that helped train the First Legion on Terra, the Stygians were an elite strikeforce in the early days of the Crusade. They specialized in moving independently of wider forces and striking unpredictably from the backlines. This mode of warfare, unfortunately, was both extremely dangerous and widely regarded as the work of cravens or blackguards. For this reason, the Stygian Order had faded from an entire chapter to a single company by the time of Marduk's conversion to Chaos by Barabash. After this, however, they were resurrected to act as inquisitors within the legion and elsewhere to prevent the spread of information about the new cult. They were granted protection of the darkest, most sacred mysteries and were said to report directly to Eris Carcosa. Indeed, when she became the Oracle of the Leviathan she blessed them them each with holy transformations. By the time the Heresy erupted into the open, they were reported to bare very little resemblance to Astartes at all under their dark robes.
