Techmarine - Notable Techmarines: Techmarine Sevano Tomasin of the Ultramarines - As is typical of the Ultramarines, their Techmarines exactly follow the letter of the Codex Astartes when it comes to their training and methodology. The rigid adherence to the holy tome of their Primarch instils a dogmatic belief in following the words written thousands of years ago without deviation in the Chapter, and even more so in the Ultramarine Techmarines. Sevano Tomasin was no exception to this, and was a faithful servant of the Cult Mechanicus and expert in the field of demolitions. His service to the Emperor was very nearly cut short on Ichar IV when a rampaging Tyranid Carnifex ripped apart the Land Raider he was driving. Alien bio-plasma flooded the interior of the vehicle and detonated its ammunition in a huge explosion that wrecked the tank and killed the monstrous alien. Determined not to lose his centuries of wisdom, the Chapter's Apothecaries were able to save his life, Tomasin himself directing the replacement of his legs and right arm with augmetic components he had forged many years before. His expertise in demolitions came to the fore during the Ultramarines' mission to the planet of Thracia when the 4th Company was given the task of destroying a number of strategically vital bridges. Though the mission was ultimately a success, it was to be Tomasin's last, as he was killed in action by a direct hit from an artillery shell that cooked off the Melta charges he was in the process of arming.Iron Father Paullian Blantar of the Iron Hands - Blantar is an Iron Father from the Kaargul Clan Company. This inspirational figure embodied every one of the Chapter’s teachings, from the utter certainty that Ferrus Manus would day return, to the hatred of all that is of the flesh. His knowledge of bionic enhancement is unparalleled, and his refinements of the augmentation process distinctly affected the direction of the Chapter. He led the dramatic counter-attack against the insidious Dark Eldar on the industrial world of Kaladrone, rescuing the badly wounded Warleader Bannus. Blanter personally performed the augmetic surgeries and augmentations that enabled the crippled form of Bannus to survive and go on to lead his company for many centuries to come. In fact, Bannus still leads his Clan Company as an ancient Venerable Dreadnought and is an integral part of the current Great Council. Bannus’ wisdom and experience continue to serve the Chapter to this day. Of equal legendary status was Blantar's disdain for his own organic body. Blantar constantly flayed his own body of the flesh he was born into, until eventually, towards the end of his extremely long and successful life-span, only his mind remained. This was implanted into the towering frame of a mighty Dreadnought, and some say that in so doing his very soul was ex-loaded into the machine’s systems so that not a scrap of biological matter remained. Blantar serves as a permanent member of the Chapter Council, having transcended the limits of his flesh and effectively attained immortality. Should Ferrus Manus ever return, as Chapter dogma asserts he will, it is certain that Paullian Blantar and any others who replicate his feat will be there to greet their Primarch, and to fight at his side in the final battle. To this day Iron Fathers ritually scar their flesh in honour of one of the Chapter's most renowned Iron Fathers of all time.Iron Priest Harl Greyweaver of the Space Wolves - Harl Greyweaver is an Iron Priest of the Space Wolves Chapter who has been seconded to the elite xenos-hunting Deathwatch -- the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos. He has been the Forge Master of Watch Fortress Erioch since his predecessor answered a summons to serve the Achilus Crusade a decade ago. He is notoriously intolerant of other Chapters' brands of tech-craft, but his efficacy in conjuring the tools of war is so great that no one has yet been able to oust him.Techmarine Martellus of the Blood Ravens - Martellus was a Techmarine of the Blood Ravens Chapter who served aboard the Strike Cruiser Armageddon. Martellus served under the Blood Ravens Force Commander Aramus throughout the Tyranid invasion of Sub-sector Aurelia during the First Aurelian Crusade. During the climactic battle on Typhon Primaris, Martellus was aboard a Thunderhawk gunship supporting the Space Marines on the ground. The Tyranid horde eventually overwhelmed the gunship, forcing it to crash land deep of the jungle, where the gunship crash on the less infested highland. Assumed lost to the Chapter, in fact, Martellus was the sole survivor of the crash. Alone in the Tyranid-infested jungle, rendered immobile and with no means of communication, over the course of several months Martellus worked feverishly to repair the severe damage to his cybernetic enhancements in order to regain his mobility. A year later, during the Second Aurelian Crusade -- wounded and with minimal ammunition -- Martellus spent the previous year fighting his way to the Astronomic Array, where his Chapter had previously utilised to scan the tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. He finally managed to transmit a message to his Chapter, that was later received by both the forces of the 3rd and 4th Companies guarding the sub-sector. A small deployment of 4th Company Astartes was sent to extract Martellus along with the data from the Astronomic Array. Ten years later, Martellus would be amongst the few Loyalist Blood Ravens fighting alongside Gabriel Angelos against the majority of their own Chapter which had been corrupted by the foul influence of Chaos.Techmarine Drumon of the Reclaimers - Drumon was a Techmarine of the Reclaimers Chapter who served aboard the strike cruiser Revenant. The Reclaimers are noted for having even closer ties than usual to the Adeptus Mechanicus, including making their cogwheel hand gesture in place of the Imperial Aquila, and their Techmarines have a place of unusually high status in the Chapter. Drumon served with the Revenant's company concurrently with Commissar Ciaphas Cain's assignment to the Chapter as a liasion. Drumon crafted augmetic fingers for Cain to replace the pair the commissar lost to a Necron Gauss Flayer on the Tomb World Interitus Prime. He subsequently took part in the pursuit of the space hulk Spawn of Damnation from Viridia to Serendipita, and volunteered to remain aboard shortly before the hulk returned to the Warp in 958.M41.
