Special Chapter 1 : Actual Space Marine Legion (with their Primarch).

XVIth Legion:

Led by Horus Lupercal. The Luna Wolves are descended from Terra and then from Cthonia.

Led by a strong and compassionate Primarch.

The Luna Wolves are warriors full of nobility worthy of the knights of the ancient legends of Terra.

Horus made them convey the idea that the fight to save the oppressed was sacred but above all that taking care of these populations is just as important.

A value it is said was taught by the Witch of Terra herself.

As a result, the stories and exploits of the Luna Wolves encouraged young men in search of this same nobility to win. Some of these wannabes joined the Luna Wolves for glory while others left to bring justice.

With recruits coming to support this effort, the legion grew before reaching an honorable number.

In 840.M30, the Legion reached 80,000 Astartes.

They are led by the mournival, a high council of Horus Lupercal. Their inflexibility reflected the undying kindness of Horus.

This Legion received the teachings of the Witch of Terra, mastering material magic to fight Xenos and Daemons.

Light and the elements hold no secrets for them and deploy it both to destroy their enemies and to relieve the souls of the victims of their attacks.


VIth Legion:

Directed by Leman Russ.

The Space Wolves are said to be forces of nature. Inheriting the barbarity of Leman Russ but also his tireless spirit.

The Space Wolves go on the attack against the enemies of the Imperium and fight the strongest of the strong.

Those who defied the wolves and fought to the bitter end won the esteem of the VI Legion.

But the cowards who run away are dishonorably chastised by the Space Wolves to bring shame and humiliation to their enemies.

In this logic, Leman Russ rejected with contempt the material magic and the magicians who were present VI legion were banished who joined the other Legions.

Leman Russ valued brute force as the ultimate achievement for an Astartes.

Thus, axes, swords and other bolters were the extension of the soul of the Space Wolves.

But despite this very unique feature, the Space Wolves legion was a legion comparable to the others who had not yet recovered their Primarch.

A number of 30,000 Space Marines was counted in 840.M30.


IInd Legion:

The Second Legion of Space Marines changed profoundly in its organization since its reunion with its Primarch, Kira Saito.

At the head of the Adoria TAFS, the Primarch gave all the means his legion needed to become indomitable.

Thus, each Space Marine receives a Mobile Suit of the Vanguard generation (Note: The Gundam F91). A mobile suit specially designed for Astartes whose power is comparable to that of a Warbringer-Class Titan.

Their weapons from the Technological Middle Ages are capable of destroying entire divisions of enemies.

These Space Marines learn the basics of piloting during their training along with close combat.

They are thus legendary pilots who for decades already have won countless victories in the name of the Imperium but also of TAFS.

The now gigantic empire of Adoria had reached 100 planets. An empire of a power comparable to that of Ultramar.

The IInd Legion is not alone because it is accompanied by the Regular Army of TAFS which uses the first generation Mobile Suits against the enemies of the Emperor while the others are reserved for the nobles of the families of knights and to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Space Cyclops (Note: MS-06s Zaku) and Ground Suits (RGM-79 GM) with their higher generations and other variants are on the battlefield to fight alongside the II Legion. Although having the power of a simple knight, they are much faster and more reactive to crush their adversaries.

The Second Legion also fulfills a duty to transmit their knowledge to other human planets, to remind everyone of the existence of the Technological Age and its prowess.

The IInd Legion is proud of its 60,000 Astartes who every day make TAFS and the Imperium grow.


Xth Legion:

The Iron Hands are a legion led by the adamant Ferrus Manus.

Known for their coldness in combat towards their enemies.

Their minds were said to be as cold and incorruptible as the hands of their Primarch.

Since Ferrus Manus had joined the Great Crusade.

The Xth Legion fought with this same inflexibility against the enemies of the Emperor.

Most importantly, they began to share close ties with the Adeptus Mechanicus who provided them with sophisticated weaponry to fight their enemies.

This is due to the fact that Ferrus Manus had inherited much more from the Emperor than from his mother the Witch of Terra and therefore magic was not present in his blood and soul.

Despite this, the Xth Legion continued its campaigns against the enemies of the Imperium as the Great Crusade continued to expand across the Galaxy.

These warriors numbered nearly 35,000 Astartes in 840.M30.


IIIth Legion:

The Emperor's Children are among the most eloquent warriors of the Great Crusade.

They sought perfection in order to better fight their enemies.

But since their reunion with their Primarch Fulgrim, the turning point has passed.

The IIIrd Legion had lost many of its soldiers since Selenar's betrayal and the destruction of their initial genetic heritage. So much so that they were only 200.

Fulgrim strove ever since to make this Legion the most invincible, the greatest, and the most eloquent force.

It is said that he received a speech before the Emperor and the Witch of Terra so moving that the Emperor granted him the name of the Emperor's Children and the double-headed eagle of the Imperium.

The study of the art in its foundations and knowledge was fundamental in the beauty of perfection.

The study of the art in its foundations and knowledge was fundamental in the beauty of perfection.

But also humility and respect was taught by the Witch of Terra.

But what distinguishes them the most from other Legions, they have very strange powers.

Indeed, it is said that their souls are indomitable and have abilities that differ from the Space Marine according to his origins, his background and his vision of the world despite the fact that he joins one and the same Legion.

This characteristic of the soul allows an Emperor's Children to attack with their souls but also to resist the environment and heal the most serious wounds but above all they can feel the souls whether they are near or far.

Those who have inherited this very mysterious power manage with a lot of learning and devotion to obtain a power from of this first ability of the soul of a Space Marine of the IIIrd Legion.

These new powers called "The True Aura of the Soul" differ from one Space Marine to another.

Some manipulate the elements, others can provide protection to other souls, create illusions and other things.

Thus, the Emperor's Children organized themselves into small squads corresponding to powers that complement each other.

Fulgrim himself is the exception. He can use elemental magic just like his brothers in addition to his Soul Aura. But above all, his purple eyes when they shine reveal a fighting quality that would closely rival an Eldar Autarch.

With Fulgrim's efforts, the Emperor's Children had grown to an honorable number of 75,000 men by the end of 840.M30.


XVIIIth Legion:

The XVIII Legion is one of the Imperium's beloved ones. Like their Primarch Vulkan, in addition to fighting the enemies of the Imperium: they save the oppressed from misery.

Their boundless prowess and altruism made them true representatives of the hope of Humanity to the point that an expression was written in their name: "When the men in green armor arrive, the planet resumes its colors."

This devotion extends to the crafting and forging of their weapons from Nocturne, their homeworld. It is said that their weapons would be comparable to those of the glorious era in terms of resistance to the ravages of time.

With 57,000 Astartes, the Salamanders bring hope but also peace to the places where they set foot.


VIIth Legion:

The VIIth Legion led by Rogal Dorn is the shield of the Imperium, when an enemy comes to trample the foot on a human planet. The fists of the sun descend on them from the firmament.

Ever since Rogal Dorn became Praetorian, he has endeavored to erect fortresses all over the Imperium, in strategic places only he can comprehend, all from the Phalanx, his great fortress.

The Fortress is led by the Praetorian was a relentless force that no one dared to approach led by a woman from a forgotten era. A woman whose name is known only to the Imperial Fist and the Adeptus Mechanicus whose spirit is said to be one with the machine god.

The walls and other fortresses of the Imperium have contained every kind of threat and continue to multiply.

When peace comes to the Imperium, these strongholds will remind future generations that their lives will be full of safety and carelessness. They are more than 70.000 Astartes.


XIIIth Legion:

The XIIIth Legion of the Ultramarines is the largest of all whose nobility is equal to its size.

Roboute Guilliman had a talent for strategy and organization that made his Legion an unstoppable impact force. Compared to other Legions, Roboute Guilliman liberated more worlds than his other brethren before making these planets prosperous places ruled by effective and strong governments.

Ultramar, his realm had nearly 500 planets under the Primarch's rule.

The Ultramarines fought fiercely against the enemies that loom before them but did so with honor and respect as they aided their allies.

They hadn't forgotten either the magic of the Witch of Terra which allowed them to annihilate the tough ones but greatly preferred the weapons they had in their hands, coming very warmly from the factories of Macragge.

With the XIII and its 100,000 Astartes, nothing can stop the Imperium.


XVth Legion:

The Thousand Sons are the incarnate terror of Chaos and xenos. How many incursions of the Ruinous Powers were prevented by these Space Marines, no one knows, but no matter how many.

The Thousand Sons are among the most respected and feared in the Imperium.

When their red armor was seen by the Xenos, their faces contorted in terror. When the Demons saw their enchanted weapons, they quivered with rage and frustration in the face of an unbeatable enemy.

When Magnus the Red joins the Great Crusade, their power takes on a new dimension and they are on the path to invincibility. They will never know defeat against the enemies of the Imperium for they are the very embodiment of the Emperor's strength mixed with the invincible witch magic of Terra even there are only 10.000 warriors.


To be continued... Sanguinius and the Dark Rage.

Sanguinius was saved by the Emperor and Salem. But Salem felt an intense rage within him and told him of the catastrophic state of the IX Legion, about to be purged due to its dangerousness.
