	The Stone Men (AKA the Stone Legion, Legionem Ex Lapide) are ~~27th~~ legion of the Adeptus Astartes, and were created by the Emperor himself. Characterized by their affinity for solid rock and hard work ethic, the Stone Men are one of the most honorable, brotherly, and just Legions in the whole Imperium. Both blessed and cursed by their geneseed, most Stone Men stand far above their fellow Legionnaires. However, their geneseed takes decades to mature, making recruitment a slow and arduous task. Still, they make great use of their stature to bring about swift and crushing victories in the name of the Emperor. Though many remark on their odd qualities and personalities after the Heresy, their devotion to humanity and the Emperor is unquestionable.

	===Sacred Band===		===Sacred Band===
	The Proto Stone Men engaged in many battles during the Unification Wars on Terra, fighting with the rest of their brother legions’ progenitors. Back then, they were known as the ~~twenty seventh~~ squad, and excelled at underground/enclosed combat. Their unofficial name was the “Cave Crushers” due to their use of melee weapons, tunneling, and cavern systems as a way of sieging fortified positions. They used this method to great effect when faced with conquering the great fortress on mount Yerushabim, a massively fortified military complex with tunnel systems and scientific chambers leading down deep into the earth. The crushers fought against esoteric warriors who wielded ancient and terrible power, with mystical powers that bewildered even the Emperor himself. The battle lasted for 969 days, yet with the surface city long since sieged, the warriors continued to fight deep within the catacombs of the maze-like complex. With morale and supplies running low, Hektor ordered them to cease all fighting, and destroy any and all passages leading to the chambers below. The mysterious Yerushabic peoples were never seen again.		The Proto Stone Men engaged in many battles during the Unification Wars on Terra, fighting with the rest of their brother legions’ progenitors.

The mysterious Yerushabic peoples were never seen again.
	The Cave Crushers were led by a grey-faced, nubile warrior with curly, golden hair and eyes like liquid gold, whose name was Ozymandias. Ozymandias disappeared mysteriously during the siege of Yerushabim, and is somewhat of a ghost-story to very old legionnaires.

	Once the Unification Wars had ended and the bands were split up and fortified into legions proper, the Cave Crushers came together to form the ~~27th~~ Legion, the Gold Masons. Led by a gold-and-silver clad prince-like warrior with rather avaricious tendencies named Dikasterius. They razed and pillaged countless xenos and human empires in an endless search for precious materials and artefacts, until a great defeat at the hands of an unknown elder empire killed Dikasterius, and decimated a large portion of their numbers. The battle was over a golden city that Dikasterius wished to convert to his own capital city, but was ruled over by mysterious elder lords. The battle was a complete disaster, and compelled the Gold Masons (now renamed simply “The Masons”) to cast off their greedy tendencies, and adopt a much more humble, monk-like existence.

	Stone Men are exceptionally well-equipped, well-supplied force, long favoured by Imperium and bolstered by formidable technological and industrial capacity of their homeworld, Neolithus. Standard Stone Legion equipment is double-layered ceramite infused with a special psykoreactive mineral called “Astral Obsidian” found deep within the mines and quarries of Neolithus, a power fist, and a meltagun, and of course, a bolter and a pair of combat knives. Heavy weapons units carry usually assault and plasma cannons, and sometimes heavy meltas for special operations. Captains, sergeants and other leaders and officers within the legion often carry hammers as well as power fists, integrating storm bolters into their power fists. They have also renown for carrying many exotic weaponry stockpiles - some are come form forbidden Dark Age arsenals, others are come from more peculiar armouries, both their homeworld and other associated advanced worlds.

	Due to their reliance on orbital bombardment and the bolstering of their naval capacity by the Colossi wars, the Stone Men had a massive fleet by the end of the Great Crusade, which served as a ~~massive~~ obstacle to Hektor’s plans. It mostly consisted of ~~Battleships~~ and cruisers, with some frigates acting as missile boats to aid ~~the~~ larger ~~vessels~~. This formation was created to fight the heavily armored space vessels the Colossi used, and was custom made for the legion.		Due to their reliance on orbital bombardment and the bolstering of their naval capacity by the Colossi wars, the Stone Men had a massive fleet by the end of the Great Crusade, which served as a tremendous obstacle to Hektor’s plans. It mostly consisted of greater vessels, such as battleships and cruisers, with some frigates acting as missile boats to aid their larger cousins and provide vital maneuverability. This formation was created to fight the heavily armored space vessels of the Colossi and other gargantuan foes of the legion used, and was custom made for the legion.

	==Culture==		==Culture==
	The culture of the Stone Men is that of hardened ethics, rigid minds, and unwavering faith. No matter what the cost, a Stone Marine will do whatever it takes to uphold what he thinks is right. The Stone Men do not hold themselves higher than an imperial citizen, and would rather give their own lives than let innocent men and women suffer. They often refuse to fight in urban occupations or against revolting populations, as killing citizens is taboo to them. While not a priority to achieving their objective, honor is rather important to the Stone Men. Respect is given to foes who fight with great prowess and respect for the unspoken rules of the battlefield, whether or not those enemies are human, xenos, or perhaps, (hypothetically) even chaos. The Stone Men ~~Live very~~ long lives, and because of their fickle gene-seed, they have a very real understanding and respect for death. If a Stone Marine dies, he is given the most honorable death ceremony possible, and any kind of stain on his reputation or service is wiped clean. This means that the practice of interring dead or mortally wounded marines into dreadnoughts is seen as disrespectful to the marine himself. Special exceptions are made, however, such as with marines who are disabled but wish to continue serving the emperor and their brothers in combat.
