Lernaeans were elite [[Terminator]] infantry of the [[Alpha Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] and were essentially the [[Honour Guard]]s of [[Alpharius]] [[Omegon]]. Compared to the [[Effrit Headhunter]]s which are also Honour Guards, the Lernaean were far more conventional and orthodox.

Given that a Terminator's MO is the [[RIP AND TEAR|direct opposite]] of Alpha Legion [[Reasonable Marines|stealth and subterfuge warfare]], the Lernaean had limited battlefield potential; being largely regulated as either overglorified bodyguards, ceremonial purposes or when a [[Not As Planned|Alpha Legion plan did not go as expected and shit hit the fan.]] At the very least, the Alpha Legion knew how to co-opt the disadvantages of a Terminator into ''something else''.

Unknown by the greater Imperium, Lernaean Terminators [[Grey Knights|rarely left behind any evidence or witnesses of their deeds and few knew of their existence.]] In battle, they slowly advanced relentlessly upon the foe, acting as a bulwark in areas where even subtlety would have been thrown out of the window. Having secured their objective, they stubbornly held against any counterattacks. The Lernaeans were known as the jaws of the Hydra, the bestial symbol of the Alpha Legion itself.

Clad in [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]], Lernaeans were armed with [[Volkite Charger]]s and [[Power Axe]]s which made them fierce opponents in close combat. Each squad was led by a '''Harrower'''. A squad was usually deployed via a [[Land Raider]] (either a [[Land Raider Proteus|Proteus-]] or [[Land Raider Phobos|Phobos-pattern]]) but could also be deployed in a [[Spartan Assault Tank]] or via a [[Dreadclaw]].

During the Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula, [[Pretend|Alpharius disguised himself as one of his own Lernaean bodyguards]] [[Troll|to confound the]] [[Space Wolves]].

On the [[Horus Heresy]] tabletop, they are a Cataphractii Terminator squad for 45 points a pop equipped with Volkite chargers, power axes and a venom sphere on the Harrower. Compared to standard Cataphractii, they upgrade ''Inexorable'' to ''Stubborn'' (which applies to ''Fear''). They also get ''It Will Not Die (5+)'' and ''Hydran Exemplars'', which allows them to claim +1 to hit against one other Legion. They also gain an additional point of Leadership and the squad leader has three wounds. Finally, they are "Line" units so are able to claim objectives, making them one of the only choices in the game for Line outside of Troops and Legion Standards.
