The preceptor of the Order of Shattered Crowns in the Dark Angels' Hekatonystika was said to also be a member of the Inner Circle of the Dreadwing. These vehicles and the Dreadwing Destroyer Squads were often outfitted with the Imperium's infamous advanced weapons of mass destruction, including Phosphex Weapons, Radium Weapons and Vortex Weapons. The Dreadwing unleashed mass armoured assaults that made use of Land Raiders, Spartan Assault Tanks, Mastodons and Fellglaive super-heavy tanks.
The Dreadwing formation as a whole was led by a voted-lieutenant known within his Legion by the title of "Dreadbringer." The Dreadwing was the only formation of the Dark Angels Legion known to employ the infamous Legion Destroyer Squads. The Dreadwing was specialised in the use of tactics to defeat the worse foes faced by the I st Legion on the battlefield and was deployed when there seemed to be no other way to destroy an enemy. Each was led by an officer elected to the position known as a "voted-lieutenant." The Dreadwing was disbanded at some point after the end of the Horus Heresy. These formations were known collectively as the Hexagrammaton and existed outside the regular chain-of-command and organisation of the I st Legion. The Dreadwing was the name given to one of the six specialised "wing" formations of the Dark Angels Space Marine Legion that existed during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.
