Legio Fureans - Notable Campaigns: Lament of Shedim (Unknown Date.M31) - This was an Imperial Compliance action carried out against the Aeldari upon the arid world of Anark Zeta between the forces of Craftworld Mór-ríoh'i and the Imperial forces of the Great Crusade, which included detachments from no fewer than four Titan Legions: the Legio Mortis, Legio Fureans, the Legio Atarus and the Legio Osedax. Overall command fell to Horus Lupercal, most-favoured son of the Emperor and Primarch of the Luna Wolves Legion. During the apocalyptic battle, the Legio Atarus was cruelly used, and without their foreknowledge, they were sent to probe the enemy lines of the Eldar, and were subsequently destroyed. The grievous losses suffered by the Firebrands due to the Legio Mortis and the Legio Fureans ' refusal to fight alongside them due to internal Mechanicum politics, was a grievous injury not soon forgotten.First Battle of Paramar (006.M31) - The world of Paramar V was the scene of an invasion and overthrow of the Paramar System by the Traitor Alpha Legion and the forces of the Warmaster Horus during the opening days of the Horus Heresy. Lying at the outer northern edge of the Segmentum Solar, Paramar V was a vital staging post and supply terminus for Imperial Expeditionary Fleets, vital to the outward expansion of the Great Crusade. Paramar lies in almost direct conjunction between the Istvaan System and Terra. Before even the blood spilled in such great effusion in the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V had cooled, Horus' generals viewed Paramar V and the vast stockpiles of military supplies cached there with covetous eyes, and drew their plans against it. With typical guile and subterfuge, the Alpha Legion launched a massive assault, following in their wake came a second armada of Dark Mechanicum barques and mass-arks drawn from forces loyal to Horus, including the Titans of the Legio Fureans. The world of Paramar was the scene of several fierce battles during the Horus Heresy, amongst which the Traitor assault on Landing Zone Secundus of the Paramar Nexus was perhaps the most bloody. The Forces of Chaos, supported by a sub-legion of 8-10 maniples of Tiger Eyes Traitor Titans of various classes, strode into the deserted spaceport expecting little resistance. They were surprised to meet Titans of the Legio Gryphonicus, along with support troops and armour from the Mechanicum and Loyalist forces from the Iron Warriors' 77th Grand Company. The speed and overwhelming force of the Alpha Legion's attack took its toll and the battle quickly swung full force in the Traitors' favour. Against the massed firepower of the Tiger Eyes Titans, the final Loyalist base known as Terminus could not stand. The Paramar Nexus fell and with it Paramar V belonged to Horus, its stockpiles and industry intact.Battle of Tallarn (010-012.M31) - During the Horus Heresy, Perturabo, primarch of the Iron Warriors, launched an all-out planetary invasion of the verdant Imperial staging world of Tallarn, his IVth Legion bolstered by dozens of allied Traitor Imperial Army regiments, the Titans of the Legio Fureans and Legio Krytos and the Knights of House Caesarean. Both the Loyalist and Traitor high commands were taken by surprise by Perturabo's actions and the invasion quickly escalated after he ordered an Exterminatus upon the world, scouring its surface of living matter by way of a voracious Life-eater virus bomb barrage. While the population of the once-verdant world was all but wiped out, many defenders survived thanks to extensive subterranean shelters. The ensuing campaign was fought between vast formations of Imperial Army and Solar Auxilia tanks, the Titans of the Legio Gryphonicus, the Knights of House Megron, the indentured Battle-Automata of the household army of the Rogue Trader Sangrea as well as the armoured forces of the Iron Hands, Imperial Fists, White Scars and Ultramarines Legions. No infantry could survive in the poisoned wastes, and the war quickly drew in other forces from across the Segmentum Tempestus. The Battle of Tallarn is considered the largest armoured engagement in the known history of Humanity, and while counted as a victory for the Loyalists, millions of warriors and war machines on both sides were left scattered across the lifeless, deadly surface of the planet.Second Battle of Paramar V (011.M31) - Paramar V having fallen to the Warmaster Horus' hosts in the opening moves of the Horus Heresy, a mixed force of Loyalists launched an assault against the strategically vital supply nexus with the intent of denying it to the Traitors' war efforts. The Traitors numbered a substantial combined force of Legio Fureans and Legio Mortis god-engines that were in the system re-arming and re-supplying after several years of intensive campaigning, and a large presence of Sons of Horus and Word Bearers. The Loyalists committed a large Titan force drawn from the Legio Atarus, Legio Ignatum and Legio Solaria, with ground assault units of the Blood Angels and White Scars Legions. The Loyalists conducted a series of diversionary attacks across the Paramar System in order to draw forces away from their true target, before conducting a full-scale planetary assault against Paramar V's primary spaceport, capturing it intact and then pressing outwards to begin the destruction of the mass-provender silos sprawling across the plateau beyond. It was soon revealed that the Traitors had seen through the ploy and prepared a large counterattack. Though they inflicted heavy damage on the provender silos before the counterattack hit home, the vast majority of the Loyalist invasion force was surrounded and destroyed without mercy.Battle of Beta-Garmon, "The Titandeath" (006-013.M31) - The Legio Fureans took part in the long and savage Beta-Garmon campaign, which included hundreds of war zones across dozens of worlds. Even before the greater armies of the Warmaster Horus reached the star cluster, the battle lines had long since been drawn, and fighting had been going on for many Terran years. It was a cauldron of battle that would consume millions of lives before its end and see the demise of entire Titan Legions, earning this campaign the dire moniker of the "Titandeath." The Beta-Garmon Cluster, also known as the gateway to the throneworld of Terra, was the last hurdle that the Warmaster Horus' forces had to overcome before they reached the Imperium's capital world. Heavily fortified by the Loyalists, Beta-Garmon would become one of the greatest and bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy, as well as one of the longest-lasting. During the Battle of Beta-Garmon, the Legio Fureans was supported by the Knights of House Ærthegn, House Hyboras, House Perdaxia and House Rajha.Balthor Sigma Intervention (012.M31) - A blood-maddened pursuit force of Traitor Legiones Astartes World Eaters engaged in hunter-killer operations against defeated Loyalist forces is counter-attacked by a Legio Osedax demi-legio at Balthor Sigma. The World Eaters are supported by numerous super-heavy tanks and therefore able to hold the Cockatrices Titans at bay until, in quick succession, the tanks are engaged from an unexpected quarter and destroyed in short order. Entirely unheralded, a force of xenos titan analogues, later determined to belong to the Aeldari of the Fir Iolarion clan of the Craftworld Lugganath, intervenes to devastating effect. It is only when Traitor-aligned Titans of the Legio Fureans fight their way through to reinforce the Traitors' lines that total defeat is averted. At the conclusion of the battle, the xenos Titan disengage and vanish into the ash-shrouded depths of Balthor Sigma's equatorial magma wastes.Scouring of the Ollanz Cluster (012.M31) - The Warmaster's advance on Terra reaches the Ollanz Cluster, encountering Loyalist reinforcements bound for Beta-Garmon re-arming and refueling at the Borman System. The Loyalist fleet rapidaly redeploys to oppose the Traitors' advance and to protect the valuable resource worlds of the cluster. The turning point of the brief but intense conflict comes at Borman IV, when a Legio Astorum demi-legio launches a daring offensive towards the world's beleaguered capital city. The crucial Titan battle takes place in the volcanic Yrevendi Desert immediately to the north of the capital, as Princeps Seniores Varr Harrax leads a surprise thrust through rough terrain at a weak point in the Legio Fureans lines, accompanied by ground forces drawn from the Iron Hands Legion. The Tiger Eyes, having been drawn away by a bold diversionary attack, are annihilated by the Warp Runners, who are able to break through Traitor Emperor's Children Legion lines and reinforce the beleaguered capital. Ultimately, Borman IV and the entire Ollanz Cluster are delivered from the Traitors' possession, allowing for Loyalist forces to be redeployed to their original destination at Beta-Garmon.On the Edge of the Void (286.013.M31) - A Loyalist fleet attacked the shipyards at Theta-Garmon V, the the Legio Atarus leading the ground assault. Titans fought across the skin of the orbital shipyards as ships battled above their heads. Though the initial Loyalist assault captured key fortress docks, the Dark Mechanicum triggered a solar event that bombarded the gas giant and blinded the unprepared Loyalist Titans and voidcraft. Legio Fureans Titans inflicted a heavy toll upon the Legio Atarus and their allies, though the blinded Titans fought on bravely to the end.Hammer of the Legio (317.012.M31) - With the Imperial armies and fleets spread out across the cluster, Horus unleashes the full measure of his Titan Legions against key targets. On Delta-Garmon II and Theta-Garmon V, sieges that have lasted years are brought to a sudden and brutal tipping point. Titans of the Legio Mortis  Legio lead the way against the harvest domes of Delta-Garmon II, the airless wastes growing thick with the twisted wreckage of Loyalist tanks. On Theta-Garmon V, Legio Fureans and Legio Vulpa maniples march across the great Garmonite shipyards, their guns tearing corpses in their wake. Only the swift arrival of the Legio Astorum and Legio Solaria maniples prevents both systems falling completely into the Warmaster's hands, though both Loyalist Legios find themselves hard-pressed by the vast number of enemies arrayed against them.Second Battle of Nycron City (403.012.M31) - The war finally came to Beta-Garmon II in full force. Having bled the Loyalists in the outer systems, the Warmaster unleashed his maniples of Legio Fureans, Legio Mortis and Legio Vulpa into the wastes surrounding Nycron City, while his fleet attacked the planet from above and hundreds of Traitor army regiments stormed the hives themselves. In what would become known as the Second Battle of Nycron, Titan broke through the hundred-kilometre deep defences of the PanCrypta Dust Clans, Solar Auxilia and Nemesis Brigades. Legio Astorum maniples led the Loyalist Titans to make a stand in the shadow of Nycron's gate, but ultimately fell, opening the way for the Traitors to flood into the city. With the city under their control, the Traitors moved swiftly to conquer or destroy the rest of Beta-Garmon II.The Titandeath (356.013.M31) - More than twenty Legions and hundreds of Titans converged on Beta-Garmon II as the Loyalists sought to strike a decisive blow to reclaim Nycron City and clear the system of Traitors. Shoulder to shoulder, the Loyalists met their enemies in battle like infantry formations facing off, only on a much grander scale, Knight banners racing around their feet like hunting hounds. Many Titan Legions were extinguished forever in the solar day of battle that followed, and even legendary formations such as the Legio Astorum and Legio Fureans were reduced to a fraction of their initial size. By the time the Loyalists reached the shattered walls of Nycron, both sides were staggering over fields of fallen god-machines, while the light from Beta-Garmon II's burning hive cities was visible in space.The Needle Breaks (788.013.M31) - The tipping point of the Beta-Garmon campaign came in the shadow of the Cathega Telepathica on Beta-Garmon III, its astropaths still psychically screaming out for aid from Terra. Having deployed the bulk of the Loyalist forces against the defences of Caldera Hive, only a handful of Loyalist Titans drawn from different Legios defended the Diviner's Needle along with their Knight allies, among them the Legio Atarus, Legio Defensor, Legio Astorum and Legio Solaria -- some reduced to a single maniple of undamaged war machines. Unbroken by solar months of fighting, the Legio Mortis led a massive host of Traitor Legions against the tower's defences, the Titans and Renegade Knights marching up through the toxic storm to battle on the mountain top, and ultimately bring the spire down. As it fell, a psychic scream reached out across the cluster and beyond, spreading dismay and horror to all Loyalists it reached. Though the fighting at Beta-Garmon would continue until Horus stood at the gates of Terra, and long after, history recorded this as the point when the fate of the cluster was sealed, and the Warmaster's armies began their final march toward the heart of the Imperium.Siege of Terra (014.M31) - The Siege of Terra was the final battle of the Horus Heresy waged upon the surface of the Imperial Throneworld itself against the overwhelming forces of the Warmaster Horus. The Legio Fureans were one of several Titan Legions that took part in the intense fighting that determined the fate of the Imperium of Man and all of Humanity.Battle of Nicomedua (Unknown Date.M42) - Nicomedua was a tributary planet of the Adeptus Mechanicus whose ruling Tech-priests were corrupted by agents of the Dark Mechanicum after the opening of the Great Rift. War broke out on the world as the Imperium sought to reclaim it. The Legio Fureans was among the forces that served alongside the Dark Mechanicum troops during the war. After many standard years of fighting between the Hereteks and regiments of the Astra Militarum, a stalemate had developed. It was finally broken by a battlegroup of Titans from the Legio Metalica that was led by the Imperator-class Titan Cassus Belli. The massive Titan quickly broke the Traitors' resistance and the tide of the conflict turned inevitably in the favour of the Imperium.
