Ironwing - Notable Members: Titus - Titus was a Venerable Castraferrum Dreadnought that served within the Dreadwing during both the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Originally, Titus was a Terran member of the old I Legion, before it was reunited with their Primarch Lion El'Jonson. He would later be interred within a Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought after being mortally wounded in battle with the Gordian League during the Great Crusade. However, his Contemptor body was destroyed during the Battle of Diamat and Titus was later placed within the sarcophagus of a Castraferrum-pattern Dreadnought. Titus became a Voted-Lieutenant of the Dreadwing following the ending of the galaxy-wide Ruinstorm during the Horus Heresy.Voted-Lieutenant Duriel - Duriel was a captain within the Dark Angels' 12th Order during the Great Crusade. He was also a senior Forge-Wright and Master of the Ironwing, who was taught secret arcane lore in the Terran forges of Narodnya and Manraga. After he suffered grievous wounds in battle, Duriel was installed as a commander of the Ist Legion's flagship Invincible Reason and granted the title of castellan. As a holder of this esteemed rank, Duriel had overall command of the Gloriana-class Battleship when Lion El'Jonson was not present. Duriel was amongst the primarch's forces that investigated the unrest and strange disappearances that occurred around the world of Muspel. During the campaign on Muspel, Durel would later sacrifice himself by detonating a Nucleonic Weapon to defeat a Khrave-infected Titan.Lieutenant Iksal Mordwen - Iksal Mordwen was a lieutenant of the Ironwing during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. During the final years of the Great Crusade he took part in the Dark Angels campaign alongside the still Loyalist Emperor's Children Legion during the Siege of Mykana. Unable to breach the impenetrable shield outside the Mykana's capital city. It was to be the ingenuity and hard-won knowledge of the Ironwing that provided an answer, with an Ironwing lieutenant, Iksal Mordwen, demonstrating that a dense enough energy beam could disrupt a small section of the force field long enough to allow a small raiding party to penetrate the outer defences of the city. They assembled a force of volunteers, primarily warriors mounted on swift jetbikes and Land Speeders spearheaded by the initiates of the Ravenwing and led by Lieutenant Mordwen. The junior officer's bold plan proved effective, and the Dark Angel strike force was able to penetrate the outer shield and destroy the shield spire that powered it, allowing the rest of the Dark Angels forces to launch a final assault. Those survivors of the assault on the city, Lieutenant Mordwen and a few dozen of his brethren, were trapped behind enemy lines and faced with such a horde of enemies that it became simply a matter of how high a price in lives they would demand for their death. The surviving Legionaries from both the Ist and IIIrd Legions fought on for another three solar hours of frantic battle as the Mykanan hordes threw themselves against the thin line of defenders. By the time the main force of the Dark Angels assault arrived to relieve them, they had exhausted all their munitions and the survivors had resorted to combat blades and bayonets to hold the line. Satisfied that Mykana was purged and no threat remained to the Imperium's claim upon Laconis, the Lion ordered the Dark Angels to return to their ships, leaving the Emperor's Children amongst the ashes of the world's primitive people to await the return of their own fleet and establish Imperial authority upon it.
