"As long as a single Blade remains it shall be swung against the oathbreakers" - Detlef Adler Grandmaster of the Broken blades at the council of titans.

'''Council of Orders'''
The blades and their auxilliary forces are ruled by the Council of Orders, the council draw representatives widely from the legion, With the Grandmaster at the top of the martial arm and the twenty knight commanders underneath him, Representatives are also drawn from the librarium and human naval auxilliaries.

The Broken Blades are the post heresy remnants of the Knights Exemplar, shattered as a legion the few remnants fight on, seeing themselves as the first bulwark to protect the eastern imperium.

The Brotherhood of Broken blades retain the organization of the past, Being divided into smaller orders and even smaller knightly houses, Standing at head of each order is a knight commander, And at the head of every house a knight captain.

'''Legion Auxilliary'''
Previous to the Treaty of Gryphonne the legion auxilliary consisted primarily of infantry and artillery regiments, But after the capture of vital forge worlds in the gap these regiments were bolstered by several tank and mechanized regiments, And not least of all a house of knight titans, three warlord titans were also produced and attached to the knight titans, 'The Last Light' 'Spirit of the Hawk' And 'Emperors Visage', these three god machines are frequently deployed together and great care is taken that they are not lost, Auxilliary regiments usally have an Astartes attached to them as a tactical and strategic advisor.

'''House Tarkyn'''
After production of knight titans had started members of the Auxilliary who had distinguished themselves greatly were uplifted by the Council of orders to the rank of knights, These men and women are considered to be the equals of the Astartes who share these titles and the Knight captain of house Tarkyn even has a permanent spot on the council, Currently they number one hundred machines.
