GENERAL RULES The following rules are used during all games set during the Age of Heresy. These rules override any conflicting text found in indi-vidual army codices:

ALL LEGIONS USE CODEX: SPACE MARINE UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.

Large Formations: During the Great Crusade the Legions were much larger than their current sizes, and made heavy use of large infantry formations. Tactical, grey hunter, Blood Claws and devastator squads have their maximum squad size doubled along side any special and heavy weapon allowances. (i.e. A devastator squad may take 4 heavy weapons for every ten men) Squads with more than ten Members may not use the Infiltrate or use the Combat Squads rule. Special weapon upgrades double (following normal rules in these squads)

Ground Assault: With jump packs being a rarity, Assault Squads use other methods to reach their prey. Assault Squads without jump packs may purchase any transport option with a 35pt price drop

Commanders Above All: In the days before the Librarian Controversy and the Chaplain Edict, these forces did not exist within the legions with a few minor exceptions. Librarians and Chaplains are not allowed unless otherwise noted.

HERESY ERA EQUIPMENT AND UNITS

Assault Cannons: The assault cannon is a new, experimental and fairly temperamental weapon. They are rarely seen and are just replacing the older Reaper Autocannon. Assault cannons are a 0-2 (in total) choice in any army. Units normally equipped with assault cannons may always replace them with Reaper Autocannon for 5 points less than the listed

assault cannon cost.

jump Packs: A newly introduced piece of equipment, the jump pack is not commonly seen on the battlefield. Jump pack equipped units are a 0-1 choice (in total) unless noted otherwise.

Havoc Launchers: The reliable Havoc missile launcher is used on Legion vehicles to break up light infantry formations. Units normally equipped with hunter-killer missiles may always replace them with Havoc launchers for 5 points more than the listed hunter-killer missile cost.

Multi-meltas: The multi-melta is a new weapon, most often used in concentrated numbers to maximize their capabilities. Land Speeders, Attack Bikes, Dreadnoughts, Techmarine Servitors, and 0-1 Devastator squads (no Tactical, Veteran or Command squads) may be equipped with multi-meltas.

Plasma Cannons: The plasma cannon is an uncommon sight on the battlefield and are most used in Devastator squads. Dreadnoughts, Techmarine Servitors, and 0-1 Devastator squads (no Tactical, Veteran, or Command squads) may be equipped with plasma cannons.

Autocannons: The ubiquitous Autocannon is both reliable and trusted within the Legions. All infantry squads with access to missile launchers may purchase Autocannons for the same price.

Storm Bolters: The twin-linked bolter is a state of the art sidearm as the storm bolter is still in development as part of the ongoing Terminator project. Storm bolters are replaced by twin-linked bolters for 1 point less than the listed cost of storm bolters.

Venerable Dreadnoughts: The oldest Dreadnoughts are only a few centuries old, veterans of the War of Unification. Venerable Dreadnoughts are unavailable unless noted.

Land Raider Crusader, Razorbacks and Predator Annihilator: These vehicles will not be devised for many millennia in the future. They are unavailable unless otherwise noted.

Jetbike Formations: A legacy of the Golden Age of Technology, the Imperial Jetbike is a wondrous, graceful tool used in small numbers by many Legions. A Space Marine Character may upgrade his bike to a Jetbike for +5 points. 0-1 Space Marine Bike squads (without attached Attack Bike) may be upgraded en masse to be jetbikes for +5 points per bike.

Siege mantles: all legions made use of large heavy duty shields during heavy fire fights and boarding assaults. A single tactical squad or grey hunter pack may take siege mantles these allow the unit to re-roll any failed armour saves caused by shooting attacks. However due to their size and weight, the unit may not have a dedicated transport. The unit may not also run. This upgrade costs 50pts per squad. Legions which use the siege assault vanguard list as its base may take more than one unit equip with this upgrade.

LEGION WIDE RULES AND NOTES

4

The expedition forces were made up not only by space marines, but by regiments from the impe-

rial army. To represent this on the battle field. Any legion army which is 2,500pts or above may

take units from the below list as allies. These units may not take up anymore than one quarter of

the armies total. So for every 1,000pts you may take up to 250pts of imperial army units.

Infantry platoon

Veteran squad

Hellhound squadron

Leman Russ squadron

Ordinance battery

Sentinel squadron (scout and armoured)

Rough rider squad

Techpreist and servitor unit

Storm trooper squad

Techpreist enginseers

Due to the nature of how these units were used on the battlefield. In objective based missions.

Were the imperial army are used as allies, only imperial army units may capture objectives.

The Imperial army

The council of Nicaea and the chaplain edict At the end of the grand crusade section of the campaign and before the beginning of the heresy

begins section. The council of Nicaea happens. During this the emperor bans the use of Psykers by

the space marine legions and introduces the chaplain edict. This event has the following effects.

Before the council of Nicaea

The following legions may use librarians as show in their related codex; during the great crusade.

Thousand sons

Blood angels

Ultramarines

Dark angels

Luna wolves

Salamanders

Raven guard

Alpha legion

However after the council of Nicaea, only the thousand sons may use librarians with more than

one power per turn (expect special characters)

After the council all legions expect the thousand sons gain chaplains as a 0-1 elite choice which

does not take up a FOC slots. You may take between 1-3 chaplains per slot. The word bearers now

follow the rules stated above for their chaplains. However these along with the Reclusiarchs may

take marks of chaos from now on for the same amount of pts as a chaos lord.

The following rules apply to ALL Primarchs

The use of Primarchs in 40k: the Primarchs as shown in this book have been designed to repre-

sent how they actually were, to reflect this, we recommend that Primarchs are not used in any

match under a total of 3,000pts per side. How ever they may be used in special scenarios and pre-

organised missions.

Transportation: All models with the designation Primarch count as two models for transport pur-

poses (except Sanguinius and those with jump packs or terminator armour who count as three due

to his size).

Primarchs benefit from the following special rules: Independent Character

Deep Strike

Eternal Warrior

Fleet

Relentless

Acute Senses

Feel No Pain

Ever Onwards! A Primarch can never capture an objective. For him the road to victory rolls ever

onwards.

Majestic: Primarchs may be targeted by shooting even if they have joined a unit (unless he is lead-

ing a unit of Primarch Honour Guard).

Titanic Might: Such is the power of the Primarchs that they may reroll all failed rolls to wound with close combat and shooting attacks.

Heroic Strike: Primarchs always roll 2d6 and pick the highest for armour penetration rolls. Instead

of making their normal attacks in close combat, the Primarch may instead make a single attack

which hits and wounds automatically. Against vehicles it causes an automatic penetrating hit

against its target. The Heroic Strike is AP 1.

Primarch Armour: The artifice incorporated into the armour of the Primarchs means that none but

the most determined of attacks can penetrate it. The armour provides a 1+ armour save. remember

that a roll of a 1 is always a failure

Primarch rules

Legion I: dark angels

The Dark Angels have the honour of being the first Legion created by The Emperor. Like the other Primarchs, Lion El'john-son was lost while he was still in his infancy. He later turned up on the distant planet of Caliban, which bore some resemblance to early medieval Terra.

Caliban was made the home world of the Dark Angels and the whole of the Order moved to join the ranks of the Astartes. The first to be brought into the Legion in this way was Luther, who became Jonson's second-in-command, just as he always had been within the Order.

However, the Dark Angel's contributions to the Great Crusade had barely begun when the Lion sent Luther and a small contin-gent of Dark Angels back to Caliban, purportedly to garrison the world and increase the speed and quality of the training given to the Legion's recruits. Whatever the reason, the force sent back felt disgraced and rejected.

2

The Great Crusade, had to go on: there were countless human worlds that were still under the influence of Chaos or suppressed by the harsh rule of alien races. So it was that Jonson and many

of the Dark Angels continued on the Emperor's Crusade for the reunification of humanity while Luther was left behind in charge of the remainder of the Legion on Caliban. Lion El'johnson and his Legion performed well during the Great Crusade,

As Jonson's fame spread throughout the galaxy and reports of his great deeds and prowess in battle reached the Legion's home world, Luther felt robbed of his share of the glory. He wanted the fame and recognition that he felt he deserved as Jonson's equal. His role as planetary governor of some half-forgotten backwater world seemed more and more to him like an insult. The seed of jealousy and dissension that had been planted.

Legion III: emperors children

The Legion's history begins with the descent of Their Primarch Fulgrim to the resource-poor world of Chemos, where strict rationing and improvisation were necessary to sustain life. It was decided to spare the infant and when Fulgrim grew to manhood he set about reviving his dying world. Old technology was restored, lost areas reclaimed, and the people of Chemos were able to spend time on art and culture. Fulgrim took pride in this, as he harboured a love of perfection in all things.

When the Emperor first arrived on Chemos, Fulgrim swore fealty to him instantly, and was placed at the head of his Legion. An accident had destroyed nearly all of the Emperor's Children's gene-seed, leaving only a tiny force of 200 Marines. Fulgrim addressed them upon their first meeting, stating that they would go out into the Gal-axy and spread the wisdom of the Emperor. "We are His children," the Book of Primarchs relates he told them, "Let all who look upon us know this. Only by imperfection can we fail him. We will not fail!" The 3rd Legion were named the Emperor's Children from that day, and the Emperor also bestowed on them the right to bear the Impe-rial Eagle upon their armour, the only Legion allowed to do so. As they were so few in number, the Emperor's Children were placed under the command of the Primarch Horus of the Luna Wolves until

they were a large enough formation to crusade independently. Horus and Fulgrim grew close to one another, with eventual dire consequences for the Imperium.

Swollen by new recruits drawn from Chemos and Terra, the Emperor's Children finally mustered the strength to undertake a crusade alone, and Fulgrim proudly led his warriors into the unknown. From the growing ranks of his Legion, Fulgrim selected a few individuals, the bravest, strongest and noblest, to become Lord Com-manders, each given authority over the Company commanders. Fulgrim taught the Lord Commanders per-

sonally, taking care that they were worthy of the honour of being the representatives of the Emperor.

Legion IV: Iron Warriors

Almost immediately upon being placed under the command of their Primarch, Perturabo, the legion found itself being plunged into a seemingly never-ending series of campaigns. Immediately after completing the training of their first batch of recruits from Olympia, the legion went to war against the Black Judges of the nearby world of Justice Rock.

Quickly recognised as experts in the art of siege warfare, the Iron Warriors were regularly called upon to exercise their skills in crack-ing open enemy defences. Switched from one combat zone to an-other, the legion also found itself constantly diminishing in active crusading size as units from it were detached to act as garrison troops watching over worlds in the process of Compliance. The most famous of these garrisons was that of the Iron Keep on Delgas II, where one 10-man squad of Iron Warriors watched over a disgrun-tled population of 130 million. It is unknown why the Iron Warriors were so often selected for such assignments, or why Perturabo al-ways accepted such orders without protest, but it is supposed that it began to inflict serious damage to the legion's morale. This growing disillusionment would eventually translate into a tragic explosion of

despair and rage as the Iron Warriors learned that their own home world, Olympia, had revolted against Impe-rial rule. Briefed on the situation by the Warmaster Horus himself, Perturabo drew his legion away from the extermination campaign they were waging upon the Hrud and led them homewards, falling upon the world with no mercy. The planet was battered into submission, with over 5 million of the inhabitants killed. In the af-termath, the legion as a whole seemed aghast at their actions, aware that they had committed an unforgivable atrocity. However, before word of their actions could get out to the other arms of the Imperium, they once again received orders to move into action. This time it was to move to the Isstvan system; the Horus Heresy had begun.

Legion V: white scars

By the time the 5th Legion was united with their Primarch Jaghatai Khan,

he had united the fierce tribes of his home world Mundus Planus. The As-tartes adopted the facial ritual scars of the Talskar tribesmen and renamed

themselves "White Scars".

Following the vision of the Emperor of a united mankind, the Khan de-parted, allowing many of his loyal tribesmen to join the Legion.

The White Scars fought many bloody battles during the Great Crusade and under Jaghatai Khan they became infamous for their fast attacks and hit-and-run assaults.

Jaghatai Khan and his Legion had spent several years in a campaign against the Orks of the Chondax System when news about the betrayal of Horus and the Drop Site Massacre arrived. They were urged by Rogal Dorn to return to Terra

The Khan was contacted by Leman Russ who had just returned from Prospero and offered him to join forces. Horus however had antici-

pated this and had sent the Alpha Legion who launched an assault on Russ' outnumbered Space Wolves.

Although he despised leaving the Space Wolves on their own, Jaghatai Khan followed Dorn's urgent request to retreat to Terra immediately rather than engaging in a costly battle against the Alpha Legion.

During the siege of the Emperor's Palace the White Scars fought alongside the Blood Angels and Imperial Fists against the traitors. They launched several hit-and-run assaults and together with remnants of the 1st Terran Tank Division and several Imperial Infantry Regiments they successfully harassed the enemy supply lines on Lions Gate spaceport.

Legion VI: Space Wolves

Primarch Leman Russ grew up on the distant planet of Fenris, a snow-covered world inhabited by primitive, warlike tribes of humans. He was raised by a pack of the massive Fenrisian Wolves that prowl the snowy lands.

The Emperor travelled to Fenris having heard word of the exploits of Leman Russ realising that they could only be the work of a Primarch. At first Leman Russ refused to pay him homage, going as far as challenging him.

The challenges consisted of three different contest, one being eating, the other drinking, and the third being a fist-fighting one. Russ managed to beat the Emperor at both eating and drinking, but the third challenge was more to the Emperor's liking. the Primarch suddenly launched a furious attack. This very challenge proved to the Emperor that this was indeed one of his sons, Russ fighting with outstanding speed and power. the Emperor stopped holding back and quickly found an opening in Leman Russ' de-

fences. The Emperor raised his power fist, knocking the Primarch out with a single blow that would have killed a lesser man. Leman Russ awoke later and admitted defeat and swore loyalty to the Emperor.

He fought well during the Great Crusade, gaining the reputation as a cunning and fierce, as well as slightly unstable, warrior and leader. During a pacification war, the Dark Angels aided the Space Wolves, and the leader of this particular planet insulted Leman Russ's honour, and so he wanted to defeat the leader person-ally for the insult. The Dark Angels and Space Wolves, both led by their prospective Primarchs assaulted the tower where the leader was. Leman Russ burst into the throne room just in time to see Lion El'Jon-son beheading the leader. Angry that the honour was not his, Leman Russ marched up to the Lion and punched him in the jaw. Russ saw how immature their squabble was and started laughing. Lion El'Jonson took this as Russ mocking him and punched Leman Russ into unconsciousness before leaving the planet with his legion. This led to a bitter feud between the Legions (and subsequent Chapters), which lasts to this day

Legion VII: imperial fists

The Imperial Fists were formed on Terra, where the they earned their first battle honour, 'Roma.' The Legion had the benefit of being united with their Primarch shortly after their formation, while their character had yet to take shape and as much as 70% of their ranks were still aspirants. As result, the Imperial Fists and Rogal Dorn developed as servants of the Imperium together, forming an unbreakable bond based upon the common desires for self-discipline and total commitment to order found in Dorn's temperament and the gene-seed of the Legion.

In prosecuting the Great Crusade, the Imperial Fists acted as the strategic reserve of the Emperor's forces and served as his personal Praetorians. As a strategic reserve force, the Legion rapidly deployed between battlefields, characteristically employing siege and defensive warfare as the situation required, specialising in each. As siege specialists, the Legion functioned as an assault formation, often deciding the outcome of campaigns. As defen-sive specialists, the Legion was commonly tasked to defend strategic posi-tions and defeat enemy breakthroughs.

In fact, Horus once remarked to Dorn

that "if I ever laid assault to a bastion possessed by you... then the war would last for all eternity, the best in attack matched by the best in defence. The Legion also possessed special skills in urban warfare.

The Imperial Fists were so effective in their role during the Great Crusade that the Legion accumulated a record second only to that of the Luna Wolves.

As a proud testament to their accomplishments, battle hon-

ours were displayed for kilometres in a gallery aboard the Phalanx. however, the Imperial Fists' record also included developing hostile relationships with other Legions. Most notably, the Imperial Fists maintained a bitter rivalry with the Iron Warriors, which was largely the result of both Legions sharing similar combat spe-cializations.

Legion VIII: Night Lords

After his discovery by the Emperor, Konrad Curze underwent a period of train-ing under the tutelage of Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, who introduced him to not only wider military stratagems, but also Imperial culture, specifically that of Terra itself. Following this period, Curze was placed at the head of his legion, who are known to have adapted to his philosophies quickly and with diligence, as well as intelligently transforming the Primarchs beliefs into military tactics. Curze's experiences upon Nostramo in his self-appointed role as the Night Lord had instilled in him the philosophy of terror, whereby he

had inspired obedience to the law by fear of extreme punishment. This societal philosophy translated into the military tactics of swift, sudden and decisive strikes often carried out to excess, as well as making sure the enemy knew who had hit them. The Night Lords therefore developed a practice of regularly using excessive force to defeat their enemies, as well as publicising these ac-tions so that other potential transgressors would be well aware of what could happen to them should they break faith with the Imperium.

This approach made the Night Lords well-suited for dealing with worlds brought into the Imperium during the Crusade who were subsequently lax in achieving full compliance, or who even threatened to rebel. They were heavily utilized as a force that solidified the Imperiums grip after initial pacification was achieved; as this sort of endeavour mirrored what Curze did as the Night Haunter on Nostramo, the Night Lords excelled at reinforcing the Emperor's will - through fear. To increase their effective-ness in this regard, Curze encouraged the Night Lords to decorate their power armour with death imagery. The legion soon gained a tremendously terrifying reputation, one that would cause many planetary rulers to immediately make good any outstanding tithes, make sure Imperial laws were being followed and sometimes would entirely stop an incipient rebellion at the mere rumour of Night Lord retaliation.

While it may be possible that the Emperor tacitly or even secretly authorized the Night Lords' excessive tac-tics, the legion was eventually questioned over its increasingly extreme sanctioning of Imperial citizenry, espe-cially by some of the other Primarchs, a brotherhood that Curze had never felt a part of. Apart, that was, from Fulgrim.

Legion IVX: Blood Angels

The Blood Angels were created from the genetic material of their Primarch Sanguinius. As with all of the Primarchs, Sanguinius was genetically engi-neered to be a supreme super-soldier but was cast into the warp during his infancy along with his brothers, and found on the nuclear-blasted moon of Baal Secundus. Sanguinius was affected by the warp, and when he was found by one of the few unmutated human tribes on Baal, he had a pair of angelic wings growing from his back. As he matured quickly, he was able to use his superhuman powers and abilities to unite the humans of Baal against the mutants and become their leader.

When the Emperor found Baal in his search for the twenty Primarchs, San-guinius immediately recognized him for who he was and bent down on his knee, pledging his service. In this, Sanguinius was one of the few Primarchs who did not challenge the Emperor upon their reunion. The Emperor then took Sanguinius and a number of his best warriors and placed him in command of the Blood Angels Space Marine Legion.

During the Great Crusade, the Blood Angels became known as being excellent shock assault troops, and formed a rivalry with the similarly assault-oriented World Eaters Legion. Sanguinius was reputed to have had some form of psychic powers, principally the gift of foresight. During the Horus Heresy, the Blood Angels were one of the few Legions who fought alongside the Emperor during the Battle of Terra. When Horus lowered the shields of his battlebarge, and the Emperor teleported aboard the ship, Sanguinius was with him.

The noble Primarch became separated from the Emperor, and came across Horus alone. The Warmaster tried to sway Sanguinius, to turn him to Chaos, but the Angel-winged warrior refused. Horus slew Sanguinius, as the Primarch knew he would. He had foreseen his death, and yet still engaged the Arch-Heretic, knowing he would die. This has endowed many of the Blood Angel's beliefs with a deeply mystical streak. Sanguinius' violent death left a strong psychic imprint on his Legion, since they partially share his DNA.

Legion X: Iron Hands

The early history of Ferrus Manus is chronicled in the folklore of Medusa. The most popular of these tales is the Canticle of Travels, which details the trials of Ferrus Manus and his ordeal with theGreat Silver Wyrm known as Asirnoth. The Canticle is the only tale that even attempts to explain the mystery of how Ferrus Manus came by his living metal hands. When the Emperor took Manus to become the leader of the Iron Hands Space Marine Legion, the Primarch

altered his position and became an avid believer and ruthless practitioner of the Emperor's Great Crusade to unite Mankind.

The Iron Hands have a reputation for being relatively straightforward and in-credibly harsh. In the Battle of Thranx, for example, the resources of several depleted clan-companies were pooled for a full frontal assault using five Land Raiders against a facility bristling with anti-tank defenses that had made a mockery of previous attempts with whole armored companies; in the retaking of the Contqual Subsector,

Additionally, the Iron Hands are infamous for their extensive use of bionics.

After the Heresy, when the Legions were reorganized into Chapters, the Iron Hands became recluses, at-tempting to find ways to make themselves even stronger so that they would be fit for serving under Manus again at the end of times. To this end they have made it a practice to make extensive use of bionic modifica-tions, going so far that there are rumors of some battle brothers being wholly mechanical. The Iron Hands also eschew the traditional office of Chaplain in favor of their Iron Fathers, specially trained Techmarines who serve to protect the faith of their brethren; some outsiders view this as well as the Iron Hands' ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus as an unhealthy relationship.

Legion XII: World Eaters

The Speculum Historiale describe the first years of the World Eater primarch Angron as less than blissful. He was stranded on a technologically advanced planet with a poor and downtrodden population ruled over by an elite class of nobles. The most popular form of entertainment for the masses was gladiato-rial duels between cyber-enhanced warriors, and destiny had it that one of the gladiator slavers would find the young Primarch. Angron was mortally wounded when he was discovered, almost killed by alien warriors thought to be Eldar trying to stop the Primarch before he could turn to Chaos.

Angron survived, and over the next years would become the greatest gladia-tor the planet had ever seen. A discontent one, having plotted his escape for years he finally led his fellow warriors in an armed revolt. A revolt doomed to fail, however, as the newly arrived Emperor warned him, for the forces under the nobles vastly outnumbered the gladiator band. Angron with his martial pride refused to listen to or receive aid from his father. The Emperor did not accept this, and teleported Angron to his Battle Barge the night before the last battle. The gladiatorial army was slaughtered to a man and Angron's honour was blemished. It is said he never forgave his father for the incident.

The Legion was already active by the time Angron joined them They would soon be influenced by Angron's thirst for battle, amplified by the use of psycho surgery similar to that Angron had received during his gladiator training. These implants turned the already fierce Space Marines into frenzied berserkers so feared that whole systems would eventually surrender rather than face them in battle. The technology was unstable, however and was forbidden by the Emperor after the Ghenna Scouring, in which the World Eaters wiped out an entire planet during one night.

Legion XIII: Ultramarines

As a First Founding Chapter, the Ultramarines have a long history dating back to before the Horus Heresy. When the Emperor landed on Macragge and met Roboute Guilliman, Roboute instantly recognized him and readily took com-mand of the Ultramarines. During the Great Crusade, the Ultramarines won countless victories, greatly expanding the realm of the Imperium. Due to Roboute's tactical genius and brilliant administration skill, he ensured that all the worlds he took were left more prosperous than before and thus able to contribute to the Imperium.

Before Horus declared his treachery against the Emperor, he had ordered the Ultramarines Legion to go to the Veridan System in Segmentum Tempes-tus far to the galactic south, claiming that the system was under attack by an Ork invasion force from the Ghaslakh Empire. Roboute Guilliman com-manded his troops to depart at once and set course for Ultramar, so he could meet up with more of his forces and obtain supplies. Ultramar was close enough for an assault against Veridan, so Roboute ordered his Legion to as-semble in the Calth System.

As Roboute and his fleets arrived at Calth, they knew something was wrong, because none of their Astropaths could get messages through the Warp and the storms were interfering with the navigation of their ships; they were blocked from the rest of the Imperium. It was at this moment that the traitor forces of the Word Bearers Legion attacked, rendering the Ultramarines unable to participate in much of the Battle for Terra.

Upon learning of the treachery, Roboute immediately set course for Terra, destroying Chaos reinforcements along the way, but arrived after the war had already been won. Because of this, the Ultramarines were one of the few Legions at full strength; thus, Roboute and his Ultramarines bore much of the burden of holding the Imperium together against aliens and Chaos forces in the aftermath of the Heresy. During this time, the Ultra-marines recruited heavily from their home world and eventually counted for over half of the Loyalist Marines. Around a decade after the Heresy ended, the Imperium finally reached a point of stability.

Legion XIV: Death Guard

When Mortarion was found by the Emperor upon the troubled world of Barba-

rus, he was swiftly given control of his Legion. Upon first seeing them he told

them, "You are my unbroken blades. You are the Death Guard." The Legion's

name was then changed in accordance with this decree, and Mortarion's

words engraved above the airlock door of the Battle Barge Reaper's Scythe in

honour of the moment. Their armour's colour was changed, and whilst their

main armour remained unpainted, the trim colour became dark green.

Before the Horus Heresy, the Death Guard differed from the other 17 known

Legions in that they had only seven Great Companies, although these held far

more men than those of other Legions such as the Ultramarines or Space

Wolves. There were three privileged titles held by captains of the Death

Guard. The captain of the First Company was known as the First Captain, the

captain of the Second Company was known as Commander, and the captain

of the Seventh Company was known as Battle-Captain.

The Death Guard tended to be organised into units of foot-slogging infantry, rather than mechanised squads.

Mortarion ensured that his men were well-equipped and highly-trained. He also ensured that they could fight in

almost any kind of atmosphere, and placed little emphasis on specialised units using jump packs or bikes. The

Death Guard did not have dedicated Assault and Tactical Squads. Every Marine was equipped with a bolter,

bolt pistol and close combat weapon and told to fight with whatever weapon circumstance dictated. The Le-

gion was also well known for its use of Terminator Armour. Possibly as a result of this, the Death Guard were

highly successful at high-risk boarding and close-quarter operations such as space hulk clearance.

Legion XV: Thousand Sons

While most details of how the Thousand Sons were organised before the coming of Magnus is not currently known, it is recorded that they were not considered particularly different from a typical Legiones Astartes apart from their psychic abilities (which resulted in the legion possessing the most powerful Librarians of the era). When Magnus took command, his directions (influenced by his development on Prospero, as well as Prosperine culture itself) would cause some organisational and hierarchial changes within the legion. Chapters were referred to as Fellowships within the Thousand

Sons and the most of these the rebuilt legion was ever able to field num-bered 10. However, at the conclusion of one particularly bloody campaign, the Thousand Sons had lost almost 900 Astartes, effectively wiping out an entire Fellowship. Rather than rebuild it, Magnus decided to reorganise and maintain the legion as one of 9 Fellowships, an organisation he referred to as the Pesedjet. Two special units were created within the legion; the

elite Scarab Occult Terminators and the Hidden Ones of the Scout Auxillia. The legion's command structure was adapted to include Proserine phi-losphy in the form of the Rehati a second command-track in which the le-

gion's senior officers were ranked according to psychic ability and influence

The resurgent Thousand Sons brought their fair share of worlds into compliance with the Imperium of Man, and as such their main method of victory (diplomatic guile and trickery) was not questioned by the body Impe-rial. However, as the Crusade entered wilder regions of space, more and more hostile forces were encoun-tered that deployed powers similar to those that the psychic warriors of the Thousand Sons wielded. This event resulted in Mortarion once more raising his voice in condemnation of the Thousand Sons. This time he was joined by Leman Russ, whose long-held distrust of the legion came to a head after he witnessed the re-turn of the flesh-change in the Thousand Sons during a joint action on the world of Shrike.It was decided that the whole matter of Astartes employing psychic powers at all would be ruled upon. This event was known as the Council of Nikea, and at it the Emperor announced that no Astartes must ever again employ the use of psychic powers, upon pain of destruction visited upon them by the Emperor himself.
