Summary of Legion XXI

The Iron Assembly legion is a legion comprised of many terminator armour users who specialize in sieges and overwhelming firepower. Their Primarch, Thoren Grimm, is a huge burgundy-haired terminator armoured giant among the Primarchs. The Iron Assembly, however, turned traitor during the Hektor Heresy and used their semi-abundant supply of terminator armour to great effect against loyalist legions and fortifications.

Legion Tactics

The Iron Assembly specializes in siege warfare and overwhelming firepower thanks to their connections with the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Legion Equipment

Thanks to their affiliation with certain elements of the Adeptus Mechanicus during the Great Crusade, the Iron Assembly had access to larger stocks of Terminator armour and heavy weapons to the point where they could outfit heavy support infantry with Terminator armour and weapons. Since the Hektor Heresy, they're forced to rely on the unpredictable Dark Mechanicus and slaves to replenish or repair their stocks of terminator armour, which often lead to mishaps and other consequences.

Legion Doctrine

The Council does not bend. They are ridiculously stoic and utterly unfazeable. They are more stubborn than dwarves when their will is opposed. their Marines inevitable march towards their enemies while using some of the heaviest armament possible. best when harnessed as an offensive role instead of defensive.

Legion Culture

The Iron Assembly believes in loudness being an indicator of how powerful a person is. This in turn leads to them constantly shouting and affixing attachments on their guns to make them louder. They also are influenced by the primarily Scandinavian aspects of Rasmus' World (e.g. Praetors being referred to as Jarls, serfs/slaves being referred to as Thralls, high-ranking legionaries having horned helmets, etc.). They hold a Thing comprised of any Jarl willing to arrive to the event every century, where they discuss what they've encountered and other Legion related issues/disputes.

Thoren Grimm, Primarch of The Iron Assembly

Appearance

Thoren isn't very tall among the Primarchs, but when he is in his custom armour, he stands at around 10ft tall, dwarfed only by a few of the taller primarchs and the Emperor himself. He has burgundy hair which he wears neck high and a beard which he braids. His personality leaves a lot to be desired, being unreasonable and easily angered.

Youth

Like his brother primarchs, Thoren was spirited away by the Chaos Gods to undetermined locations. Thoren's pod landed on Rasmus' World, an Industrial World that reverted to medieval-like culture and standards while leaving behind the powered-off mining equipment that the locals used to mine metals and minerals. Due to the local populace trying to figure out how to turn the machines back on, wars were being waged between multiple factions because of the abundant resources and unused technology. These wars were often bloody and counterproductive to the main reason as to why they waged the wars. However, with the arrival of Thoren's pod, things changed.

The faction once known as Knudsen's Rampagers had the fortune/misfortune of being the first ones to find Thoren in his pod. Back then, Knudsen's Rampagers were a mercenary group that protected a few villages from the other factions waging war on Rasmus' World. However, they had gone on the offensive and attacked too many factions at once, leading to the majority of the factions to wage war against Knudsen's Rampagers. One day, during a reprieve of fighting, Thoren's pod crash-landed nearby a Rampager patrol. After deeming it safe to touch, the bemused warriors examined it and tried to open it. After a while, they managed to open Thoren's pod and take Thoren with them as they went back to their headquarters to report this interesting find.

A week later, Knudsen himself came to see the "pod-baby" that the patrol found. Expecting a week-old baby, he was face to face with a child that was stronger than average children and quickly growing to be an adult. Knudsen then told the patrol that found Thoren to teach him in subjects that pertained to the war and train him for combat. Naming the child Thoren Grimm, or "Thunder Child" in Rasmussic, the leader of the patrol adopted the child until the Rampagers could find out where he came from and why he arrived here.

The Coming of The Emperor

After being initiated into the Rampagers and trained in the art of war, Thoren was placed in a Leidang (A group of 120 warriors) with his mentor and many other Rampagers.

While the war changed with the Rampagers gaining the advantage, another group was interested in the world. The XXI Legion, at the time the Council of Iron, had heard rumors of a Primarch fighting on Rasmus' World. While not versed in overwhelming firepower, the Council of Iron was specialized in siege warfare.
