Editing Iron Rangers (section)

===[[Hektor_Heresy#Diamat|Diamat]]===
Simultaneously with the battles of [[Hektor_Heresy#Ostium_and_Olmer|Ostium and Olmer]] Rogerius Merrill engaged Tiran Osoros above the forge world of Diamat. The battle was swift and brutal. In the end the Iron Rangers were victorious and fled towards Hektor's fleet while the Scale Bearers were bloodied and scattered.

===Red Road to Terra===
After destroying the Scale Bearer chain of command and scattering its Marines beyond conceivable threat, The Iron Rangers joined Hektor's forces as they advanced to Terra. The XXth Legion Fleet worked in concert with the IX Legion as the vanguard. The Legion's role was to utilize its' fleet's disruptive capabilities to distract, delay, and scatter the fleets of the Silver Cataphracts.

'''The Martian Expedition:''' As a sign of good faith from Hektor to the growing Mechanicus rebel forces a small contingent of Iron Rangers was sent to support Vilyon Luthier and other Autopostate forces. The group was selected because a sampling was necessary to both solidify diplomatic ties and allow an Astartes presence which was more suited to infiltration and sabotage than direct warfare. The group was led by Cysgodol Dawnsiwr and Arth Codital.

The Iron Rangers deployed largely to take and destroy the fortifications to the Palace. The direction of their forces was performed largely by Cellweirwyr. Robyn Auldmann was directing the Legion's air and void assets throughout the system. Hektor attempted to coerce Merrill into leading his forces, but the Primarch was engulfed in his own lunacy by this point. Instead he and numerous members of the Milwyr Cwyn used Terra as a massive hunting ground, targeting the Terran nobility, Auxiliaria officers, and the occasional member of the Custodes as per the whims of the Primarch.

After Hektor's death, the XX Legion was amongst the first to abandon the planet. Many attribute this to Rogerius Merrill's pragmatism and believe he was simply retreating from a fight he could not lose. Firsthand accounts point more towards Merrill simply losing interest in the battle and withdrawing.
