Legio Ordo Sinister
The Legio Ordo Sinister is an elite special purposes Legion. It comprises only a dozen Emperor class Titans under the command of the renowned Grand Master Ferromort. The purpose of the Legio Ordo Sinister is simple: to inspire terror and obedience in those who are in danger of disobeying the Pax Imperium, to lend the weight of steel to the words of the Adeptus. In this respect the Legio often works in conjunction with the Adeptus Arbites, the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy, providing transport and fire support for their ground troops in innumerable short, vicious campaigns.
The carefully planned assaults of Grand Master Ferromort are famous for their precision and flawless execution. Great pains are taken to use them as an example of impersonal and faceless Imperial efficiency. In persuading truculent governors to submit to the Imperial will the Legio Ordo Sinister has destroyed hundreds of supposedly impregnable fortresses and allegedly unassailable palaces. However, this Legion remains an instrument of precision for the Imperium - a well-honed sabre rather than the sledgehammer of planetary bombardment or the scalpel of a Space Marine intercession.
Legio Destructor (The Beasts of Steel)
Legio Destructor is one of the Imperium's largest Titan Legions, comprising over a hundred machines of all classes. This is unsurprising as the Forge World of Legio Destructor lies within a hundred light years of the Wheel of Fire and the edge of the Ork empire of Charadon. Led by their eccentric Grand Master Thaedius Wilson the Legio Destructor have sallied out to stave off numerous Ork Waaaghs! issuing from the Wheel of Fire or the Charadonian empire. Consequently the Legion spends much of its time building up its strength to resist the next avalanche of maniac Ork warriors and war machines.
It is murmured in some areas of the Adeptus Mechanicus that the constant exposure to Ork attacks has made the Legio Destructor increasingly 'Orky' in its outlook and behaviour, particularly in its attitude to combat. The Princeps and crews of Legio Destructor hunger for battle with an unusual exuberance. So far this thirst for battle has been viewed as a useful attribute, particularly against foes other than Orks who find the Legion a highly unsettling opponent. But even the Fabricator General expressed surprise to hear that the Titans of the Legio Destructor are now fitted with amplifiers so the Legion can reply to the Orks' howls with their own battle chant: "Big Death, Big Death, BIG DEATH!".
Legio Mortis (Deaths Heads - Traitor Legion)
The very name of Legio Mortis has long since become a foul taint to the defenders of humanity, uttered only with fear and loathing. Their infamy stretches back 10,000 years to the time of the Horus Heresy when the daemon-possessed Warmaster Horus sent the new-born Imperium tumbling into bloody civil war.
Legio Mortis had fought for the Warmaster in a hundred campaigns during the great crusade, their loyalty had long since been pledged to him rather than the distant Emperor. When Horns began the heresy by virus-bombing the defenceless world of Istvaan III the Deaths Heads made the landings to scour the corpse-packed hives for the pitifully few survivors. Some say that mutated strains of the virus brought their final corruption, some say the madness inspired by the billions of putrefying corpses turned their faces to Chaos.
Who can say where the truth lies? Certainly when the Legio Mortis landed on Earth to besiege the Emperor's palace they were warped and mutated almost beyond recognition. The adamantium skins of their Titans were pocked and bubbled with foul effluvia, great tentacles of twisted flesh and metal lashed, spiked tails whipped back and forth. Their Titans' heads had been transformed into drooling daemonic visages filled with malice and their engines roared like angry beasts.
Horns granted the Deaths Heads the honour of breaking through the outer walls of the palace and with wreckers, power rams, warp missiles and their own fiendish bravery they did so despite suffering the loss of over thirty Titans in one night.
But despite their efforts the siege failed and Horns was defeated. The remnants of the Legio Mortis fled from Earth and were hunted and pursued, system by system, to the Eye of Terror. There, where the warp and real space overlap, time has flowed strangely for the Deaths Heads. They remain trapped in servitude to the gods of Chaos, fighting a war that ended 10,000 years ago, building their strength and testing the Imperium's defences for the time when they shall return and wreak terrible vengeance on all living things for the defeat of their beloved Warmaster.
Legio Metalica (Iron Skulls)
The Legio Metalica is rightly famous for its tragic part in the battle of Armageddon, a hive world which produced weapons and munitions vital to the security of several systems in the sector. Armageddon suffered beneath a foolish and erratic Overlord, Herman von Strab, who refused to believe warnings of invasion by the fiercest Ork Waaagh in centuries, Waaagh Ghazghkull. The Legio Metalica was stationed on Armageddon to protect its vital industry and when Ghazghkull smashed through von Strab's inadequate defences the Overlord commanded the Legion to perform the impossible task of stemming the Orkish tide.
Princeps Senioris Kurt Mannheim held temporary command of the Legion after the death (suspected to be assassination) of its Grand Master. By Imperial law it was his duty to obey the Overlord and von Strab refused to hear Mannheim's advice. Unable to betray his oath of loyalty to the Emperor, Mannheim put on his best dress uniform, said goodbye to his wife and children and climbed into his Titan Steel Hammer to lead his battle groups to certain destruction.
The Legion fought hard and it fought well, Steel Hammer accounted for three Ork Gargants before it was crippled and even then Mannheim took his machine right into the centre of the Ork forces before its reactor melted down. But the Orks outnumbered the Legio Metalica more than three to one and the outcome was inevitable. The Legion was almost completely wiped out and took no further part in the Armageddon campaign.
At the end of the campaign Mannheim was posthumously awarded the Emperor's Star for his bravery and loyalty to the Imperium. The Legion has been rebuilt since its devastation at Armageddon and won acclaim in every campaign it has fought in for its dedication and determination, Mannheim remains a shining example of the dutiful warrior to all.
