Legiones Astartes (Hektor Heresy)

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

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.

Project information

This page is the hub for developing the Space Marine Legions of an alternate 30k 'verse, and most of the sub-pages have details about what becomes of the grand Legions and the Primarchs. Where a developer has been marked as a probable drop-out, feel free to put your hand up on /tg/ to take over developing the Legion.

The Loyalist Legions			The Traitor Legions
Name	Summary	Developer Status	Name	Summary	Developer Status
The Crusaders	Do you enjoy endless Crusades, heavy armour, and Thunder Hammers? These guys draw a lot from European crusading orders (yep, not a trick name) and end up getting a lot of the Imperial Fist's jobs. They and their Successors are fairly Codex-approved, though, and they don't really have issues with psykers.	active but busy	Black Augurs	Moustache-twirling villains with more horrific sorcerous rituals than the Emprah's had hot dinners.	Eeeevilly active
The Entombed	Spookiest of the Loyalists, these dudes have a tragic gene-seed flaw which sees them go entirely extinct. On the way, they cause a lot of ruckus with their Terminators, Dreadnoughts, and unshakeable faith that humanity is a race of gods destined to inherit the universe.	active but spooky busy	The Bulwark	Got abandoned for a long time but are now being rebuilt. Which is ironic, 'cause these guys are the fortification experts who went off to build their own model Imperium.	temporarily(?) absent
Eyes of the Emperor	What if a Space Marine Legion did know fear? The Eyes have a proud history but their one big flaw sees them struck from the history books. Officially disbanded, their descendants carry on doing the Empire's work.	absent, expected to return	Children of Armok	Tzeentchian spies and special forces. If you like just as planned, you'll love these guys.	active and always watching
Knights of Justice	We do have a lot of knightly legions, but the KoJ epitomize the Space Marine as knight-errant and justicar, the peerless bastion of truth, honour, and leaping out of a helicopter. If you like that, these are the guys for you. If you hate that, you can enjoy it when their Primarch goes down like a bitch on Isstvan V.	Under new management, slowly being worked on	Eternal Zealots	What if you wanted to heal the galaxy, but the galaxy was the fucked up place of 30k and you were working for the growing Imperium? Yeah, you'd go crazy and leap into the arms of Chaos, too.	active
Sand Keepers	Loyalist psyker legion ahoy! Little bit underdeveloped, but these guys are meant to be the foundation of the Librarium.	absent, possibly dropped out	Gorgers	OMNOMNOMNOM - oh, OK, serious summary. They're the huntsman cannibal marines. That's how you learn if you're one of the Adeptus Astartes, right?	absent
Scale Bearers	Do you like Space Marines? Do you like Dinosaurs? Do you think guys in power armour riding literal dinosaurs would be a bit silly? Don't worry - the dinosaur theme goes to the look of their bikes, not their trusty steeds. They also have giant lizard companions ("Sors"), at least in the early days.	active	Horns of Ruin	ASTARTES SMASH!!! These guys could be cool but they're a bit one note at the moment.	absent, probably gone
Scions of Europa	Meet the stubbornmarines. The Scions pride themselves on never retreating except in the most dire of circumstances. This is really great during the Siege of Terra, not so great later on.	we see him around but he hasn't done much with his guys	Iron Assembly	Lego-marines? Actually, I really don't know where these guys are going. They were undeveloped for ever because their original developer left and promised to come back, but didn't. A new guy has taken them on, but we're still waiting to see what he's doing beyond LOUD NOISES.	active
Silver Cataphracts	AAAAAAHH, MOTHERLAND!!! Hailing from Space Russia and led by a Primarch who combines the "best" features of Stalin and Ivan the Terrible, the Cataphracts are probably the most fatalistic of the Astartes.	frighteningly active	Iron Rangers	I sure hope you like ruthless assassins and stealth. Because if you don't, the Iron Rangers are going to sneak into your tent and cut your throat. Heck, they might do it anyway. Don't say you weren't warned!	absent, probably gone
Steel Marshals	The inevitable loyalist siege legion. Surprisingly laid back and chill guys, for a group of super-soldiers who spend their time fighting their enemies eye-to-eye.	active but busy	Life Bringers	Biological nightmare Legion, goes over to Nurgle. They have the bare bones of the idea sketched out really nicely, but need detail.	Re-active
Stone Men	The Stone Men are a throwback to the gonzo days of Rogue Trader. It's great terrible awe-inspiring beyond description!	off his meds and in the community	Lions Rampant	Victorian English hypocrites, avowing restraint and gentlemanliness but belonging entirely to Slaanesh.	active
Thunder Kings	Based on a world of clannish Celtic primitives, the Thunder Kings split apart in the Heresy and spend the next centuries killing each other. They're a bit like a cheerier version of the Dark Angels with a less obscure gay culture reference.	probably gone, second time these guys have been abandoned	Mastodontii	Siberian/Inuit Marines with HUEG tanks. Do you really need anything else?	gone
Void Angels	HONHONHON, ve are ze Space Marines Français! The Void Angels are a smug bunch but they do get shit done. Combine enlightenment ideals with revolutionary terror (remembering that the French Empire included Indochina and parts of sub-Saharan Africa) and you'll have a good idea of what they're about.	worryingly active	Sons of Fire	Remember how Khorne is all about KILL! MAIM! BURN!? Like that, but heavy on the BUURRRRN!!!	Gone
War Scribes	The "big picture" Legion who consider the consequences. These are the geeks who can punch your head off. They get involved in a lot of weird shit in the Galactic Core.	active	Wolves of Dawn/Heralds of Hektor	Hey, hey, it's the Warmaster! They're led by Hektor who is a kind of tragic Greek Hero/Macedonian warlord in SPAAAAACE!	gone, became a community contribution legion

Rules

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 on the individual pages.

Naval warfare (Battlefleet Gothic)

Before the Imperial Reformation, there was no Imperial Navy with control over the Imperium's warships. Therefore, the Legiones Astartes controlled powerful battlefleets, not limited to the battle barges and strike cruisers that the later Space Marine Chapters would employ.

The following Great Crusade era ships are detailed in existing Battlefleet Gothic products:

Battleships

• Apocalypse-Class
• Emperor-Class
• Desolator-Class
• Retribution-Class
• Victory-Class
• Warspite-Class (Use Battle Barge profile)

Grand Cruisers

• Avenger-Class
• Vengeance-Class

Cruisers

• Cardinal-Class
• Dauntless-Class
• Hades-Class
• Hellfire-Class
• Lunar-Class
• Olympia-Class (Use Strike Cruiser profile)

• Sword-Class Frigate

Ships of the Great Crusade

Capital Ships

Basileus-class Battle Barge (440 points)

Forsaking the heavy armour protection of the other Legion battle barges, the massive Basileus class was designed as a second-wave assault ship. Its cavernous interior can hold vast quantities of material, to be delivered to the surface of a planet via its great launch bays. During the Hektor Heresy, these rare vessels were often employed as fleet carriers.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Battleship/12	20cm	45°	4	5+	5
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	60cm	8			Left
Starboard Batteries	60cm	8			Right
Dorsal Bombardment Cannons	45cm	8			Left/Front/Right
Port Launch Bay	Thunderhawks:20cm	5			N/A
Starboard Launch Bay	Thunderhawks:20cm	5			N/A
Prow Torpedoes	Speed:30cm	8			Front

Notes: The Basileus cannot use Come to a New Heading special orders.

---

Infernus-class Battleship (325 points)

One of the true monsters of the Legion Fleets, the Infernus mounts a deadly spinal Exo-Lance weapon capable of vaporizing a cruiser with a single shot.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Battleship/12	20cm	45°	4	5+	3
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	8			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	8			Right
Spinal Exo-Las	45cm	6			Front
Starboard Launch Bay	Furies:30cm/Starhawks:20cm	4			Starboard
Port Launch Bay	Furies:30cm/Starhawks:20cm	4			Port

Notes: The Spinal Exo-Las Weapon of an Infernus Class is a weapon of exceptional destructive capabilities. It inflicts critical hits on a 5+ rather than a 6. Additionally, the Infernus cannot use Come to a New Heading special orders.

---

Tiamat-class Shield Bastion (270 points)

The Tiamat Class is the most heavily armored of all the classes of warships employed in the Great Crusade. Meters upon metres of armor lie beneath thick banks of Void Shields, making it difficult to knock out. However it sacrifices armament and speed for this.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Battleship/12	15cm	45°	6	6+	5
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	6			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	6			Right
Dorsal Bombardment Cannons	45cm	8			Left/Front/Right

Notes: The Tiamat’s heavy armor protects it from harm, and successful critical hits made against it must be re-rolled. The Tiamat cannot use Come to a New Heading special orders.

---

Victory-class Battleship (310 points)

The Victory Class is a heavy ship of the line for the Legion Fleets, we’ll armed and armored and capable of facing off against most enemy opposition at long range.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Battleship/12	20cm	45°	4	5+	5
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	60cm	12			Left
Starboard Batteries	60cm	12			Right
Dorsal Planetary Assault Petard	30-120cm	1			Front
Prow Torpedoes	Speed:30cm	8			Front

Notes: The Planetary Assault Petard counts as a Nova Cannon. The Victory cannot use Come to a New Heading special orders.

---

Charibdys-class Grand Cruiser (270 points)

Designed as a test bed for awesome new weaponry, most of the Charibdys class were hastily completed and rushed into service armed with tried and true armaments.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Grand Cruiser/10	25cm	45°	3	5+	3
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	7			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	7			Right
Dorsal Lance Batteries	45cm	4			Left/Front/Right
Prow Launch Bay	Furies:30cm/Starhawks:20cm	4			N/A
Prow Torpedoes	Speed:30cm	6			Front

Notes: A few Charibys were completed with their experimental weapons. You may exchange the Dorsal Lance Batteries for a Nova Cannon or a Plasma Destructor (15cm range, 10 firepower, always hits on a 5 or more and inflicts critical hits on a 5 or more) at no additional cost. In either case, the new weapon fires Forward only.

---

Inflexible-class Strike Cruiser (320 points)

The Inflexible was designed to meet the needs of far-ranging Expeditionary fleets for a powerful, high-endurance assault vessel. Initially planned to bridge the gap between the Basileus and the Olympia, the Design Synod re-calibrated the Inflexible after consulting with a number of Space Marine captains who had led long-range strikes. Trusting in the experience of these warriors, the Arch Magoi did away with the design's torpedo tubes and increased the strength of its heavy bombardment cannons.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Grand Cruiser/10	25cm	45°	3	6+	3
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	8			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	8			Right
Dorsal Bombardment Cannons	30cm	6			Left/Front/Right
Prow Launch Bay	Thunderhawks:20cm	3			N/A

---

Armiger-class Cruiser (160 points)

Swift and carrying a formidable array of lance weaponry, the Armiger was a mainstay of the Expeditionary fleets. Due to their short range and weak armour, most of these vessels were lost during the Hektor Heresy and the Great Scouring.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/8	30cm	45°	2	5+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Lance Batteries	30cm	4			Left
Starboard Lance Batteries	30cm	4			Right

---

Crusade-class Cruiser (185 points)

An old design, justly synonymous with the Emperor's great struggle to unite the human race, the Crusade could once be found in every corner of the Galaxy.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/8	30cm	45°	2	5+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	10			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	10			Right
Prow Weapons Batteries	45cm	6			Left/Front/Right
Prow Torpedoes	Speed:30cm	6			Front

---

Dodona-class Strike Cruiser (165 points)

Some of the Legiones Astartes were reluctant to use orbital bombardment except in the most dire circumstances. The Dodona and similar classes fulfilled this preference by acting as a swift and durable platform for bombers and landing craft. The development of the Thunderhawk and Thunderhawk Annihilator greatly increased the popularity of this vessel.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/6	30cm	45°	1	6+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Batteries	45cm	4			Left
Starboard Batteries	45cm	4			Right
Prow Launch Bays	Thunderhawks:20cm	4			N/A

---

Hellfire-class Lance Cruiser (230 points)

The Hellfire was a type of cruiser entirely armed with heavy lance weaponry, designed to be capable of carving apart even the most heavily armored warship after several bruising encounters with Core and Demiurg Warships during the mid stages of the Crusade. Difficult to build and with temperamental power conducts that needed constant replacing and limited the ships speed, this complex design was lost in the wake of the Hektor Heresy.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Cruiser/8	25cm	45°	2	5+	2
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Port Lance Batteries	30cm	6			Left
Starboard Lance Batteries	30cm	6			Right
Dorsal Lances	Speed:45cm	4			Left/Front/Right

---

Escorts

Spectre-class Warp Runner (25 points)

One of the swiftest vessels ever built by the Imperium, the Spectre served the Expeditionary Fleets in a variety of support roles. Most frequently, they would be sent ahead of the main body to gather up-to-date tactical intelligence before a main strike was launched.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Escort/1	40cm	90°	1	4+	1
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Prow Weapons Batteries	30cm	2			Left/Front/Right

Notes: The Spectre class was fitted with a powerful sensor suite that adds +1 to its Leadership rating. The improved thrusters of this design give it an additional D6cm movement when on All Ahead Full orders

---

Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigate (60 points)

The Thunderbolt was an uncommon sight in the fleets of the Imperium, but its peculiar qualities made it much sought-after. It was quick and agile, but armed with a battery of lances the envy of many cruiser captains. If the heavy frigate was capable, it was not without its disadvantages. Due to the immense energy requirements of its armament, power couplings tended to burn out quickly and it was impossible to manoeuvre and keep the lances firing.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Escort/1	35cm	90°	1	4+	1
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Prow Lances	30cm	3			Left/Front/Right

Notes: While on All Ahead Full or Come to a New Heading orders the Thunderbolt may not fire its lance weaponry. This represents the limited power supply of this small vessel.

---

Vigil-class Siege Frigate (40 points)

Although slow for an escort, the Vigil's powerful bombardment cannons often played a critical role in breaking down tough planetary defences.

TYPE/HITS	SPEED	TURNS	SHIELDS	ARMOUR	TURRETS
Escort/1	25cm	90°	1	5+	1
ARMAMENT	RANGE	FIREPOWER/STRENGTH			FIRE ARC
Prow Bombardment Cannons	30cm	2			Front

Miscellaneous

Remaining issues, including proposals for Legions, ironing out issues with the Primarch discovery order, defining Legion specialities and numbers, etc. can be raised on the Talk page. At the moment there are four "missing" Legions, akin to the two missing Legions of the original universe.
