Editing The /tg/ Heresy (section)

==The Mechanicum==

The tech priests of the AU have a different, but still tragic, trajectory.  The fanatical Fabricator-General [[Kalkas Tygian]] devotes himself utterly to the Emperor and Orthodoxy, but gripping the Mechanicum so tightly causes many to slip through his fingers!  Of course, [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)|Mars]] still has giant stompy walkers:


'''Titan Legions'''

The Titan Legions were second only to the Space Marines in the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)|Great Crusade]], and that largely because these immense war engines lacked the Astartes' mobility.  The greatest Legions were the three pillars of the so-called ''Triad Ferrum Morgulus'', based on [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)|Mars]]:

*'''Legio Ignatum''', the Fire Wasps, who fought for Kalkas Tygian in the war on Mars and lost many of their god-machines to the corrupting touch of Vilyon Luthier.

*'''Legio Mortis''', the Death's Heads, battle-brothers to the Entombed and firm Loyalists.

*'''Legio Tempestus''', the Storm Lords, who throw in with the Traitors.

But there were many Titan Legions native to other Forge Worlds:

*'''[[Legio Antsar]]''', "The Conquerors" are based on the Forge World [[Al-Sherar]].  They played a major role in the Great Crusade across the Segmentum Pacificus.

*'''[[Legio Canem]]''', "The Pit Hounds" hail from [[Cairéal]], near to the [[Thunder Kings]]' homeworld of [[Alessia]].  Their destiny was long entwined with that of the sons of Brennus.

*'''[[Legio Cataegis]]''' "The Hurricane Legion" are native to the Forge World [[Ghalhal]].  Made up mostly of smaller Titans, Legio Cataegis was surprisingly nimble in the field.

*'''[[Legio Cauteris]]''' "The Iron" were once the noble defenders of the Forge World [[Massalia]].  They were corrupted by [[Aubrey The Grey]] in the early days of the Heresy and committed a great many atrocities against the defenders of the Imperium.

*'''[[Legio Igneus]]''' Also known as the "Iron Mountain" legion are native to the Forge World of [[Olympia]]. Though they officially only have 8 Titans under their control, only they know of secret underground manufactorums from which they break free of the oppression of the Adeptus Mechanicus and let their minds wander free as they create new and more destructive variants to the Avatars of the Machine God.

* '''[[Legio Nova]]''' "The Doomed Stars" are the legion and rulers of the forge world [[Ferrax]]. Their two chief principes reign as kings over a planet devoted to serving the titan-lords in a repressive hierarchy. Since Al-Sherar first began building its realm, Legio Nova has held a grudge against the hegemony established; an animosity unleashed in the Hektor Heresy.

*'''[[Legio Picus]]''' "The Woodpeckers" hail from [[Werkerde]] in the Ultima Segmentum.

*'''[[Legio Unceliga]]''' "The Giants of the Deep" come from the mighty ship-building Forgeworld of [[Chakaris]] in the Elume Elish region close to Terra.

*'''[[Legio Maleficarum]]''' "The Hammer of the Witches" are the dreaded psi-titans of the lost world Tyche, who bring to bear the powers of the Warp against Chaos.
