Editing Storm Hammers (section)

==Grand Companies==
The Grand Companies are the primary organization unit of the Storm Hammers. Originally there were nine of them, one for each of Engerand's champions but as the legion grew this number increased. The exact roster has change many times over the last ten millennium, both due to the addition of new companies but also the splintering and destruction of others. The current roster includes:
* '''The Emperor's Storm (I):''' The first company has always held a certain prestige and to this day remain unchanged aside from its increase in size. Its symbol is a hammer under a lightning bolt.
* '''The Great Thunder (II):''' Long-term rivals of the first Great Company when it come to seeking recognition as the best of the Legion, their symbol is a three lightning bolts loosing forming an upward pointing triangle.
* '''The Unyielding Fists (III):''' Considered by far to be the most steadfast, resolute (and stubborn) great company. Has suffered crippling casualties because of this but has always managed to eventually rebuild. Symbol is a fist superimposed over a hammer.
* '''The Storm Riders (IV):''' Befitting their name, this Great Company is well-known for its various chapters with a specialty for rapid assault, whether as bike, jet pack user or deep striking. Its symbol is a yellow lightning bolt and a hand.
* '''The Cloudseekers (V):''' The Cloudseekers have a reputation as being seen as more mystically-inclined than the other Great Companies. Their symbol is a stylized cloud.
* '''The Skyquake (VI):''' Second to bear the name following the costly and devastating Ghoul Star crusade in M37, where the original 6th Great Company was crippled, leaving it without leadership and with vastly reduced numbers for a few decades where its banner was retired from the Hall of the Lord of Thunder. As a result, the new rebuilt company is considered a distinct entity from its predecessor. Its symbol is a mountain struck by lightning.
* '''The Thundersons (VII):''' The first 'replacement' company following the split of the Seven Thunders. Despite having been succeeded by many other Great Companies, they still maintain a reputation as the 'young aspiring company'. Their symbol is a humanoid figure holding a lightning bolt.
* '''The Red Storm (VIII):''' Their symbol is a red cloud and a white lightning bolt.
* '''The Cyclone (IX):''' Their symbol is a spiral.
* '''The Proven (X):''' As the first new Great Company, this one had much to prove, hence the name. Its symbol is a white flower with a thunderbolt, symbolizing new growth.
* '''The Wind Tamers (XI):''' Another rapid-assault specialist. Their symbol is a stylized wind gust and a hand.
* '''The Monsoon (XII):''' Primarily recruited from the feral world of Inowhenu, this Legion is known as one of the newer Great Companies which are primarily not composed of Lostregian. Their symbol is a drop of water and a skull.
* '''The Worldbreakers (XIII):''' The most ferocious of the Great Companies with a reputation for ruthlessness which is very much well-earned. Their symbol is a planet shattered by a lightning bolt.
* '''The Lighting Fangs (XIV):''' Much like the Monsoon, the Lightning Fang are recruited from a different stock and have a different cultural identity from the main Legion. Their symbol is maw.
* '''The Eye of the Storm (XV):''' Their symbol is an eye above a lightning bolt.

Former Great Companies include:
* '''The (Original) Skyquake (Formerly VI):''' Devastated in the Ghoul Stars crusade and considered out of commission afterward. Has been replaced by a different, but identically-named Great Company.
* '''The Seven Thunders (Formerly VII):''' While still on good term with its parent Legion, the Seven Thunders split from the Storm Hammers over a difference in dogma. They are rabid fanatics, with a level of devotion and zeal which put the other Great Companies at a certain unease, for the Seven Thunders are suicidally reckless even by Storm Hammer standards.
* '''The Ravagers (Formerly XI):''' Splintered from the Storm Hammers and became an independant Chapter known as the Storm Reavers.
