Legio Ignatum - Notable Campaigns: Sarosh (Unknown Date.M31) - Sarosh was a planet initially conquered and subdued by the Dark Angels Legion of the 4th Expeditionary Fleet during the Great Crusade. A demi-Legio of Titans from the Fire Wasps was sent to Sarosh to crush any last pockets of resistance, thereby ensuring compliance of the planet.War Within the Webway (004-010.M31) - When Magnus the Red, primarch of the Thousand Sons, learned of Horus's fall to Chaos and attempted to warn the Emperor using psychic arts forbidden by the Edict of Nikaea, he inadvertently unmade his father's great work, destroying the psychic wards around the Imperial Palace and breaching the Imperial Webway gate by allowing a Warp rift to open up within the dungeons of the palace. Thousands of hideous Daemons poured into the Webway and immediately set about attacking the Imperial forces within. The workers of the Mechanicum were slaughtered in their thousands and the Custodian Guard were hard-pressed to hold back the tide of daemonic fury that had been unleashed upon them. As the Imperial forces within the Webway were being attacked, the Emperor mustered the remainder of His Legio Custodes Custodian bodyguard and the Null-Maiden warriors of the Silent Sisterhood. Slowly, but surely, the Imperial forces pushed the blockades forward as the pressure from the Daemons' attacks waned. As the war raged on, new troops appeared amongst the hordes of Daemons attacking the Imperial forces. The powers of Chaos sent foully corrupted Heretic Astartes, Chaos Titans and other war machines into the Webway to try and force a victory. God-engines from the Legio Ignatum and the Legio Gryphonicus battled alongside the Custodians and Silent Sisterhood against the forces of Chaos within the Webway, helping to hold the encroaching hordes of Daemons, Chaos Titans and other Heretic forces from reaching Terra. After five standard years of continuous fighting, the War Within the Webway soon took a turn for the worse, as Imperial forces suffered many casualties. Finally, the Emperor Himself intervened, and was able to turn back the tide of the Neverborn with his formidable psychic powers. The Emperor's actions gave the surviving Imperials enough time to evacuate the Webway, and as Chaos forces closed on the portal once more the Master of Mankind mounted the Golden Throne and sealed the gate.Siege of Calastar (Unknown Date.M31) - In uttermost secret the Legio Ignatum deployed a maniple of Titans led by the mighty Warlord-class god-engine Scion of Vigilant Light to the Aeldari Webway. When Chaos Daemons and Traitor Legiones Astartes began to steadily push the Imperials back, the Legio Ignatum covered the retreat of the Imperial forces to the Impossible City, an abandoned Aeldari settlement named Calastar that was located within the Webway. Fighting alongside their allies in the Loyalist Mechanicum, the Sisters of Silence and the Legio Custodes, the Legio Ignatum failed to hold the tide of enemies at bay, sacrificing themselves to destroy the enemy Titans. Although the entry to the Webway was saved in extremis by the intervention of the Emperor Himself, all of the Legio Ignatum god-engines were destroyed during the Siege of Calastar, thus heralding the failure of the Imperial Webway Project.Schism of Mars (005-006.M31) - When civil war erupted on Mars during the opening days of the Horus Heresy in the Athabasca Valles, the war machines of the Legio Ignatum and the Burning Stars fought in bloody close quarters through the teardrop landforms caused by catastrophic flooding in an earlier, ancient age of the Red Planet. Neither force could gain the advantage, nor could either claim victory, so after a night’s undignified scrapping, both withdrew to lick their wounds.Binary Succession (006.M31) - Following the schism on Mars, the new Fabricator-General Zagreus Kane and the Loyalists within the Mechanicum found themselves dismissed time and again by the Council of Terra, leaving the political status of the tech-priests extremely ambiguous. The so-called "binary succession" was resolved when the Legio Ignatum Imperator Titan Magnificum Incendius marched on the Great Chamber of the Council of Terra, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Adeptus Mechanicus as a Loyalist successor to the Mechanicum and the Adeptus Titanicus to serve as part of its military division.Fate of Jerulas Station (008.M31)Battle of Beta-Garmon, "The Titandeath" (006-013.M31) - The Legio Ignatum took part in the long and savage Beta-Garmon campaign, which included hundreds of war zones across dozens of worlds. During this conflict, the Legio Ignatum was supported by the Knights of House Hermetika. 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.Cataclysm of Iron (010-015.M31) - In the region known as the Belt of Iron, the Horus Heresy brought many long-held grudges to the surface. Realising how crucial the Forge Worlds in the area were to both sides in the conflict, the Loyalists deployed several Titan Legions, including the Fire Wasps. In recognition of their status as one of the three original Martian Titan Legions, they were given command of every battlefield that they fought on. They were at the brutal forefront in much of the action on the Forge World of Urdesh. Once the Loyalists had carried out the Emperor's judgement against the Traitors on Urdesh, the Regent left Titans from the Legio Ignatum to stand guard over the planet.Censure of Urdesh (012.M31) -Second Battle of Paramar V (011.M31) - The strategic Mechanicum provender world of Paramar V fell to the Warmaster Horus' hosts led by the Alpha Legion and the Dark Mechanicum in one of the opening moves of the Horus Heresy.  Several Terran years later, a mixed force of Loyalists consisting of the Legio Ignatum, Legio Atarus ("Firebrands"), Legio Solaria ("Imperial Hunters"), with ground assault units from the Blood Angels and White Scars Legions, clashed with the defending Traitors. The Traitor forces were comprised of god-engines drawn from the Legio Fureans ("Tiger Eyes") and Legio Mortis ("Death's Heads") Titan Legions that were rearming and resupplying in the system after several Terran years of intensive campaigning, as well as extensive elements of the Sons of Horus and Word Bearers Legions. The Loyalists conducted a series of diversionary attacks across the Paramar System in order to draw troops away from their true target, before conducting a full scale planetstrike against Paramar V's primary spaceport, the Paramar Nexus. They captured it intact and then pressed outwards to begin the destruction of the mass-provender silos containing wargear and vehicles that sprawled across the plateau beyond. It was soon revealed, however, that the Traitors had seen through the ploy and prepared a huge counterattack force. Though they inflicted heavy damage on the provender silos before the Traitor counterattack hit home, the vast majority of the Loyalist invasion forces was surrounded and destroyed without mercy. The Paramar System would remain in Traitor hands for the rest of the Horus Heresy.Imperial Muster at Beta-Garmon (012-013.M31)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 Ignatum 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.Great Scouring (014-021.M31) - After the death of the Arch-traitor Horus, the Traitor Legions splintered and dispersed, fleeing from the wrath of the Loyalists. In the wake of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium was a dismal, shattered thing and the Emperor was left a broken husk, confined to the Golden Throne for eternity. Yet for all this, the Imperium retained might enough to exact a bloody revenge upon its foes. There would be no forgiveness for the crimes of the Traitor Legions. Thus, began the age of vegeance -- "the Scouring." The forces of the Imperium harangued the Traitors to the ends of the galaxy, intent on exacting their pound of flesh from those who had wronged them and Humanity.Scouring of Catenada (Unknown Date.M31)Battle of Grozol (Unknown Date.M31)Scouring of Tallarn (Unknown Date.M31)Third War for Armageddon (998.M41) - Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka launched a second and even more massive Ork WAAAGH! to conquer the Imperial world of Armageddon in 998.M41, initiating the campaign known as the Third War for Armageddon. As the battles raged on the planet, Ghazghkull unleashed another of his carefully prepared surprises. Incredibly, dozens of Ork Roks (asteroid fortresses) began to descend from orbit. The Roks made landings in the verdant equatorial jungles of the world and across the continents of Armageddon Primus and Secundus. Many were lost to ground fire or accidents but each one that survived became a bastion for the Orks, a rallying point and a ready-made fortress. Besides their formidable armaments, the Roks contained giant teleport arrays. These were employed to teleport down Ork reinforcements, including Gargants and heavy artillery, in an endless stream. Commissar Yarrick personally led attacks by Regiments of Cadian Shock Troops supported by the Titans of the Legio Ignatum and Legio Metalica which destroyed several of these fortresses.13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - When Abaddon the Despoiler and his forces of Chaos assaulted the world of Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41, the Legio Ignatum was one of the Loyalist Titan Legions of the Collegia Titanica to help in the defence of that beleaguered Imperial Fortress World by providing the Titans of the entire Legion to help throw back the hordes of Chaotic fanatics.Siege of Hydra Cordatus (999.M41) - During the 13th Black Crusade, an unnamed Iron Warriors Warsmith laid siege to the world of Hydra Cordatus in an attempt to steal samples of Imperial Fists gene-seed from the Adeptus Mechanicus fortress located on the planet. This Warsmith's warband of Iron Warriors was supported by a battlegroup of Chaos Titans from the Legio Mortis, including the infamous Imperator-class Titan Dies Irae. Three Loyalist Warlords, two Reavers and two Warhound-class Titans drawn from the Legio Ignatum were stationed on the planet to provide support for the Mechanicus garrison forces. The Imperial defenders fought back bravely and many of the Traitor Titans, including the Dies Irae, were destroyed with the support of the Legio Ignatum 's god-engines. Unfortunately, the Warsmith eventually conquered the world and captured the gene-seed, which would be used to create new generations of Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines, a victory for which this Warsmith was raised by the Ruinous Powers to become a Daemon Prince.
