Much of the discipline and organisation of the early Legions owed greatly to the ancient and proven Terran patterns of strategy, hierarchy and function as laid down in the revered texts of the Principia Belicosa of Roma and Krom's fragmentary New Model that had survived in the hands of the Old Earth tyrants down the blood-stained generations. To these venerable treatises the Emperor and his commanders had added their own genius and created a sturdy but adaptable strategic framework that spoke to the fundamental strengths and superhuman abilities of the Legionaries themselves.

Following the disaster of the Hektor Heresy and the Imperial counter-offensive of the Great Scouring, [[Darius Cyaxares]] persuaded his brother Primarchs to lay down their Legions and break up these mighty armies, so that no one man would again lead the terrible might that Hektor had turned against the Imperium.  In reforming the Space Marine Legions into smaller units, the wisdom of the Primarchs was combined.  [[Thomas Gaudin]], the Emperor's Praetorian, laid out the ethics of the Space Marines as unyielding loyalty, honour, and good faith.  [[Gaspard Lumey]], who stood at the fore of the greatest Legion, explained his tactical and organisational doctrine. Darius himself gave the instructions to govern Space Marine Librarians.  The result was the Epitoma institutorum rei Adeptus Astartes - better known as the ''Institutorum Astartes'' - that laid the basis for the Space Marine Chapters of the reformed Imperium.
Following the disaster of the Hektor Heresy and the Imperial counter-offensive of the Great Scouring, [[Gaspard Lumey]] and [[Arelex Orannis]] presided over a great reorganisation of the Loyalist Space Marines into smaller rapid strike units of a thousand Astartes. These Successor Chapters to the old Legions would form an integral part of the Reformed Imperium's defences.

This page details people, events, and organisations from the /tg/ Heresy, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. See the /tg/ Heresy Timeline and Galaxy pages for more information on the Alternate Universe.

The Legiones Astartes or Space Marine Legions were the primary armed forces of the Imperium during the Great Crusade. Their core forces were bodies of augmented soldiers, the products of the Emperor of Mankind's genetic experimentation on old Terra. But there were also ordinary men and women who supported the Space Marines or even fought beside them in the Auxilia formations of the Imperial Army.

Doctrine and Reforms[edit]

Much of the discipline and organisation of the early Legions owed greatly to the ancient and proven Terran patterns of strategy, hierarchy and function as laid down in the revered texts of the Principia Belicosa of Roma and Krom's fragmentary New Model that had survived in the hands of the Old Earth tyrants down the blood-stained generations. To these venerable treatises the Emperor and his commanders had added their own genius and created a sturdy but adaptable strategic framework that spoke to the fundamental strengths and superhuman abilities of the Legionaries themselves.

Following the disaster of the Hektor Heresy and the Imperial counter-offensive of the Great Scouring, Gaspard Lumey and Arelex Orannis presided over a great reorganisation of the Loyalist Space Marines into smaller rapid strike units of a thousand Astartes. These Successor Chapters to the old Legions would form an integral part of the Reformed Imperium's defences.

Rules[edit]

Skirmish level (Warhammer 40k using the Forge World "Horus Heresy" material): This is the base game for the AU. All of the Legions above can be assumed to use the Legiones Astartes Crusade list, with modifications and special characters covered either on the main article or on one of the pages below:

Naval warfare (Battlefleet Gothic): We like Battlefleet Gothic a lot, and have sketched out some rules for playing Hektor Heresy in SPACE!

Resources for editors[edit]

Information[edit]

The Warhammer 40k wiki is a very useful resource due to giving "extremely accurate summaries" of Games Workshop and Forge World material. Lexicanum's 40k wiki relies on paraphrasing but is still worthwhile.

Graphical Templates[edit]

Here are some easily painted templates to make illustrating the Legion pages a simpler task.
