Legion Organization

The Legions is organized into ten smaller Brotherhoods, Each with its own name and iconography, And each brotherhood is further divided into a hundred knightly orders.

Legion Lancer

Lancers are Knights Exemplar terminators equipped with heavy weapons to counter tanks and other heavy vehicles, They also work as generalist heavy weapons specialists, They are primarily armed with multi meltas though specialized heavy bolters have also been produced.

The skies were burning, Shots rang all around Terra, On the horizon Lancer Albrecht could spy the gigantic forms of traitor titans, Their impressive armaments bringing destruction upon the legion, Knight superior Carsten's voice appeared over the vox, "Lancer Albrecht, bring your armaments to bear on that traitor dreadnought," Albrecht wasted no time speaking his affirmation, Quickly looking through his visor and finding his target.

He lifted his shield and placed the multi melta on its brace, Made a few adjustments as pings rung from his shields as bolt rounds impacted on it, And then, He fired, A blue wave of heat erupted from the two barrels, the holes in the heatshield venting visible steam as the shining spears erupting from the barrels gutted the dreadnought, Punching clean through.

The first shot was off, and hit left to the sarcophagus, Albrecht made no curses and swiftly he had adjusted his aim and punched another hole clean through the casket, the once venerable war machine had been quickly dealt with, Its once heroic occupant dead.

The job of his battle brothers was to duel men, As a legion lancer his was to duel dragons. - Titanslayer Albrecht during Klaus's Terran offensive.

Scriveners

The aspirants of the Knights Exemplar are known as scriveners, for their primary duties is to record their liege lords victories and glories, aswell as aid in combat, once someone has been seen as worthy of joining they are put into the service of a knight who will act as their teacher in all matters, during this training they accompany their liege on the battlefield, and eventually when they are judged to be ready they are given their power armor and put into their lieges order as a fullworthy battle brother.

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 Relationships

Pre-Heresy

Primarch	Legion	Opinion
Graha'nak	Void Lords	Have close bonds, both legions being primer void combatants. Friendly rivalry most likely. Disagreed with his fondness of Orbital bombardment.
Samson	Hekatonkires	Worked well with but never grew close to.
Xun Tohilcoatl	Sky Serpents	A close friend, both vocal proponents of the Librium Project.
Alexios the White	Angels of Light	Envious of his ability to build empires, but knows that his is the soul of a wanderer, and would hate being 'trapped' in a single place for too long.
[Master of Mars]	Fists of Mars	Don't quite understand the fondness of machines but definitely a fan of the results.
Sarco Funerus	Undying Scions	The legion sees being trapped in dreadnoughts as a fate far worse than death, having a strong ancestor honouring culture. They would pity them, but also most likely hold them in high regard for the sacrifice they would have made to be incarcerated within the dreadnoughts armour
Engerand	Storm Hammers	Respected, but only worked with on a few occasions.
Klaus Staffel	Knights Exemplar	Close bonds, most likely Falx's closest ally.
REDACTED	Eyes of the Warmaster	Most hated enemy, having fallen prey to the traitorus tournament. To this day hunting these traitors is always considered a top priority. A step or two below the devotion that DA hunt the fallen, the Warhawks definately hold the a grudge.
Enoch the Relentless	Judgement Bringers	Worked with extensively, never got along with.
Rubinek	Iron Hearts	Up until the Heresy they worked closely together, and shared many battle honours. Was devastated by their betrayal.
Balthasar the Bloody	Bloodhounds	Disapprove of methodology, and think they are shameful "hunters". A Barbarian.
Kashaln	Silver Spears	Disapproved of utilisation of mass infantry assaults, thinking them a waste of resources - and callous, but mostly a waste.
Saul Sheridan	Second Sons	Felt comfortable around, worked with rarely.
Gengrat Vannevar	Behemoth Guard	Avoided whenever possible, disagreed with tactics, mentality, and personality.
Oramar	Warp Raiders	TBC
Anders Kor	Paladins of Kor	Respected his humanitarian outlook but thought him overfond of Xenos. Lost his respect when he turned Renegade, seeing no divide between the traitors actions and his.
Faustus Ascelpious	Oathsworn	Lost his respect when he turned Renegade, seeing no divide between the traitors actions and his. Hates him for preaching 'neutrality' a pointless and empty gesture in a galaxy at war.

Post-Heresy

Loyalties	Summary	Description
Traitors	++EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORIS++	The prey for the Great Hunt. No Mercy, No Remorse.
"Independents"	++EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORIS++	During the Heresy there were those who fought for the Emperor, and those who didn't. These Independents may claim neutrality but there absence was noted from the final battle, their inaction causing the deaths of many loyal brothers.
Crusader States	Desperate Allies	While still loyalists, tensions are vary from Legion to Legion, the Hawks having closer ties with some Legions than others. Ultimately though, they resent those with the power to retake the Imperium and continue the Emperors vision.
The "True Blades"	Battle Brothers	A covenant of those that have remained committed to the Eternal War and defending teh Emperors vision.
