The [[Dark Angels]] had an entire division of their Legion built around Destroyers called the Dreadwing, which is not surprising since the Emperor had the First Legion originally outfitted with stores of weapons from Old Terra, including ones forbidden, unavailable, or sometimes even unknown to any of the other legions, in his crusade to first take back the Sol System and then conquer the Milky Way Galaxy at large. In keeping with the role of the I Legion as the Emperor's Exterminators and due to Destroyers being part of their "standard operating procedure" right from the beginning (since so many of Sol's planets were already naturally lifeless to begin with, ergo having no natural biospheres to taint with the use of Destroyer weaponry aside from Terra's, whose own biosphere wasn't exactly in good condition either), the Dark Angels were no slouches in letting the Dreadwing off the chain when the situation called for it, and even armed them with some of the most devastating vehicles and ammunition the proscribed vaults of Old [[Terra]] had to offer, the tamest of which were Phosphex and Vortex weapons.

This extended even to armoured vehicles, such as Fellglaives equipped with Warp Cannons, Vindicators firing Vortex Shells, Whirlwind tanks firing radiation missiles and at least one vessel with an Annihilator Cannon. As such, the Dreadwing got the call whenever the Legion needed some really nasty shit to get rid of a target immediately and collateral damage was not an issue. However, a contentious deployment of this formation got [[Lion El'Jonson]] and his Legion kicked out of [[Imperium Secundus]]. After the Horus Heresy, it is suspected that the Dreadwing were formed into the [[Star Phantoms]] Chapter, given they share the skull hourglass insignia.
