Legio Victorum - Legion Strength: Taken collectively, the Legio Victorum would be recorded as one of the largest Titan Legions in the Imperium by the waning years of the Great Crusade, with almost 200 engines of varying classes in its order of battle.However, the Legio was far from a unified whole, and individually its various branches varied widely in their capabilities and arsenals. By far the most powerful was the Legio Victorum II, the Foe Hammers, whose long service during the Great Crusade had brought with it the spoils of a galaxy and the favour of the Warmaster himself.In total, the Legio Victorum II could field perhaps a little more than a hundred Titans, most of the Warlord-class and a few of the far rarer Apocalypse-class Titans, and their princeps held by far the most battle honours and kill-markers.By contrast, the Legio Victorum I had control of only a slightly lesser count of war machines, mostly Warlord and Warbringer-class god-engines, but its warriors could not match the veterans of the Foe Hammers in experience.Confined to the marches of the Triplex Sector, the Foe Slayers had been limited to defensive operations in protection of Galatia's numerous fiefdoms and outposts, and though far from inexperienced, it had not witnessed the crucible of the Great Crusade as had the Legio Victorum II.The Legio Victorum III lacked the numbers of either of the larger Titan Legions, mustering less than half the total war engines of either of its two siblings, and these were mostly lighter, faster machines of the Reaver and Warhound classes.However, the Foe Breakers had long been experts at sudden raids and hit-and-run warfare, their few princeps skilled at making the most of the capabilities of their war machines.In terms of transport craft and the vast drop-vaults required to deploy war machines of the sheer size of a Titan into battle, the Legio Victorum II maintained a large and well-equipped fleet as befitted its role in the Great Crusade, while the lesser Legio Victorum III held claim to only a small number and as such was far less strategically mobile.The Legio Victorum III would be destroyed prior to the start of the Thramas Crusade, set upon by the massed forces of the Legio Victorum II which had returned from the Great Crusade with Horus' blessing to prepare the Triplex System for the coming war.Overmatched and outnumbered, the Foe Breakers were all but annihilated in a battle of such bitter fury that the victors captured none of the defending war engines intact, each of the Foe Breakers' princeps fighting on so long as one of their weapons still drew power.In at least one occurrence recorded by the augur logs of a Foe Slayers Titan, a Foe Breakers Warhound, reduced to little more than a shambling ruin by Volcano Cannon fire, continued to fight by ramming enemy Titans to hold them in place for artillery bombardments to topple them.Only three maniples of the Foe Breakers are known to have survived, these being stationed on isolated posts across the sector, including a single group on the distant world of Thramas.The Legio Victorum II would suffer a similar fate not long after when the Dark Angels assaulted Triplex. As a fighting force it would largely cease to exist, with a few engines taken as spoils by the I stLegion and scattered maniples stranded in garrison posts across the Triplex Sector.These last few outcast princeps would either die at their posts in doomed last stands or join one of the other Renegade Legios operating within the Eastern Fringe, and in time would be absorbed into those hosts.The Legio Victorum I suffered a less total loss, losing perhaps a third in combat with the Dark Angels and surrendering the bulk of the survivors to the Loyalists after the destruction of Galatia.While several demi-Legio forces stationed outside of Triplex remained at large and fought for the Traitors for the rest of the campaign, the bulk of the Foe Hammers was attached to the Dark Angels fleet and made war at Lion El'Jonson's orders, their pledge given in exchange for Phall's safety.In the wake of the Thramas Crusade, the Foe Breakers would stay with the Dark Angels, fighting at the forefront of the I st Legion's later battles to atone for the sins of their homeworld.In the last years of the Horus Heresy, the few Titans of the extant Legio Victorum fighting for the Loyalist cause would be consolidated into a single Legio, bearing the heraldry of the now defunct Legio Victorum I, but the epithet of the Legio Victorum II.These reborn Foe Slayers would take to their new loyalty with a vicious determination, hunting down and slaughtering those of their Legio that had fallen into chaos and madness.
