=Successors= ==Knights Saurian== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Knights Saurian |Heraldry = |Battle Cry = ''"Forward, Sons of Tiran!"'' |Number = N/A |Founding = Second Founding |Successors of = Scale Bearers |Successor Chapters = Unknown |Chapter Master = |Primarch = Tiran Osoros |Homeworld = Hael Krek |Specialty = Fast Attack |Strength = 967 |Allegiance = Imperium of Man |Colours = Blue and Gold }} As one of the splinters of the Scale Bearers formed during the Second Founding, the Knights Saurian retained much of the character of their parent Legion. However, their homeworld lying so far away from Solnhofen, they have returned, in a sense, to the tactics of the Imperial Riders as they were before Tiran was brought to them. They share the gene-seed mutation of sporting green scales upon portions of their bodies that the Scale Bearers themselves inherit from their progenitor. Their ability to bring devastation upon the enemies of the Imperium from atop their speeding bikes is not to be underestimated - their campaigns against the Rak'Gol in mid-M39 saved several subsectors from the full force of a raid. ==Violet Serpents== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Violet Serpents |Heraldry = [[File:Violet_Serpents_Symbol.jpg]] |Battle Cry = ''"Ssstrike swiftly!"'' |Number = N/A |Founding = Second Founding |Successors of = Scale Bearers |Successor Chapters = Unknown |Chapter Master = Dytan Oboam (M31), Anel Codar (M41) |Primarch = Tiran Osoros |Homeworld = Ophiuchus |Specialty = Ambush and encirclement |Strength = 1,000 at establishment, slightly understrength since M38 |Allegiance = Imperium of Man |Colours = Violet, Gold, and Green }} While the Violet Serpents have always served with valor and devotion, the Chapter seems to have inherited its parent Legion's penchant for phyrric victories and devastating losses. Even the mass recruitment from Ophiuchus, their homeworld since M38, has not fully alleviated the losses taken in the Fifth Black Crusade and the subsequent action against WAAAGH! 'Otguts, which led directly into an engagement with the forces of Craftworld Thuyelsa. By the end of that fateful march against the Eldar, fewer than 100 Marines remained within the Chapter, and among them, not one was a Dreadnought or even a Terminator. ==Ivory Lances== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Ivory Lances |Heraldry = |Battle Cry = ''"The Lance does not break!"'' |Number = N/A |Founding = Fourth Founding |Successors of = Scale Bearers |Successor Chapters = Unknown |Chapter Master = |Primarch = Tiran Osoros |Homeworld = Fleet-based |Specialty = Ambush and bike charges |Strength = 224 |Allegiance = Renegade |Colours = Ivory and Green }} The beginnings of the Ivory Lances were shaky ones indeed - not even a century after the Chapter's foundation did the Astartes find an enemy within. The Captain of the Fifth Company had been subverted by the foul workings of Chaos and dedicated himself to Khorne, with nearly half the Chapter falling with him. By the time the loyal Astartes were able to put down their fallen brothers, they had already been declared Excommunicate Traitoris. Now, the Lances continue their work from planet to planet, refusing to turn their backs on mankind, but refusing to subject themselves to the whims of the Inquisition. Such is the fate of the Ivory Lances, their numbers falling by the day and their quest never ending. ==Beastmasters== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Beastmasters |Heraldry = |Battle Cry = ''"Bay now, the hounds!"'' |Number = N/A |Founding = Tenth Founding |Successors of = Scale Bearers |Successor Chapters = Unknown |Chapter Master = |Primarch = Tiran Osoros |Homeworld = Fleet-based |Specialty = |Strength = Destroyed during the Sixth Black Crusade |Allegiance = Imperium of Man |Colours = Mahogany, silver, and ginger }} Among the most promising of the Sons of Tiran at first, this chapter was laid to waste during the Sixth Black Crusade of Chaos, having met its end valiantly in the Eye of Terror. The combat against the Gorgers and Black Augurs was especially furious - it was noted, for instance, that the Beastmasters would spend extra time after the engagements destroying the equipment and remains of their fallen foes. Curiously among extinct Chapters, many of their Chapter Fleet's ships survive to this day, the ''Pax Plateo'' in particular serving as the ship of a small-time [[Rogue Traders (Hektor Heresy)|Rogue Trader]] operating in Segmentum Pacificus. ==Knights Cambrian== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Knights Cambrian |Heraldry = |Battle Cry = ''"From the depths, rise!"'' |Number = N/A |Founding = Unknown |Successors of = Scale Bearers |Successor Chapters = Unknown |Chapter Master = |Primarch = Tiran Osoros |Homeworld = Panthalassa (destroyed) |Specialty = Amphibious warfare |Strength = Destroyed in M36 by the Necrons |Allegiance = Imperium of Man |Colours = Sea-green and jade }} How ironic it was that a Chapter dedicated to amphibious warfare and possessed of aquatic warbeasts, serving a role much like those of its parent Legion's companions, met its end upon its own ocean homeworld. When the ancient and hateful Necrons rose from its depths, the Chapter immediately withdrew from combat against the Eldar to defend its stocks of gene-seed. Unfortunately, not only the gene-seed, but the Chapter itself was lost, brought down by a Necron horde of untold size - many of which were the dreaded Flayed Ones. So dense was the infestation, and so active these Necrons, that evacuation was impossible - the planet itself had to be purged in the flames of Exterminatus. Though the oceans returned with time, they sit empty of all life now, the silent seas of a dead world. ==Fire Breathers== {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Fire Breathers |Heraldry = [[File:Fire_Breathers_Assault.png]] |Battle Cry = Burn in the Flames of our Faith! |Founding = Third Founding |Successors of = [[Scale Bearers]] |Successor Chapters = N/A |Chapter Master = Smarag Ajdar |Homeworld = Tarak |Specialty = Warbeasts and Fast Attack. |Strength = 900 |Allegiance = Imperium of Man |Colours = Red and Orange }} '''{{Main|Fire Breathers}}''' The Fire Breathers Adeptus Astartes are a Third Founding Successor Chapter to the Scale Bearers. Headquartered on the primitive world of Tarak, the Fire Breathers utilize flying, fire breathing beasts native to that world in the mounted style of combat inherited from the Founding Chapter. {{Template:/tg/-Heresy-Legions}} [[Category:The /tg/ Heresy]]
