The Sicaran Omega Finis Virtutis (End of Valor) serves as the 121st’s answer to heavily armored infantry and veteran formations. Its plasma burn array is used to break concentrations of Terminators and Legion elites that would otherwise require a costly infantry assault, while the speed of the Sicaran chassis allows it to redeploy quickly wherever…

Aromored Support: Predator Support Tank Longa Manus The Predator Longa Manus (Long Hand) earned its name during the Scouring, where its conversion beam cannon proved particularly effective against Iron Warriors strongpoints. Its crews learned to fight at extreme range, patiently seeking firing lanes before reducing bunkers, gun emplacements, and armored vehicles with precisely placed shots. Vehicularis Legionaries…

The Dreadnought Drop Pod Ferrum Caelum (Iron Sky), attached to the 2nd Company’s orbital assault complement, has delivered honored dreadnoughts into combat across compliance actions, void assaults, and planetary insertions since the latter years of the Great Crusade. Its guidance cogitator and retro-thruster assemblies have undergone repeated refurbishment, but its original armored shell remains in…

Among the veterans of the 2nd Company, Veteran Tactical Squad Helikon has earned a reputation for reducing even the most numerous of enemy forces through relentless thermal energy weapon assault. They use their volkite chargers and culverins paired with perfect timing, positioning, and absolute confidence in the skills of their squadmates.  Squad Legionaries Wargear Kitbash

Forge Lord Maris Torvane permits a variety of approaches to workings of the Machine God in her ranks. Purists, innovators, improvisers — all have their place, so long as the Legion endures. Her genius lies not in perfection, but in knowing which flaws to allow. She studies her Techmarines as carefully as they study their…

Techmarine Livia Rhune works best when things are already broken. She thrives in the chaos of the battlefield, rebuilding weapons and armor under fire with whatever she can salvage. Her repairs are ugly, temporary — and uncannily effective. Wargear Kitbash

Sergeant Davion’s Rapier Battery Squad specializes in battlefield control, favoring quad launchers for their versatility and swapping over to laser destroyers when the mission calls for engaging heavier targets. Phosphex rounds are held in reserve, a final answer to threats that cannot be contained by more precise applications of force or traditional means. Squad Legionaries…

The Sicaran Arcus Tank Tertius Bellum (Third War) was assembled from the remains of three destroyed vehicles in the aftermath of the Betrayal. Its machine-spirit is temperamental, and its armor plates still carry scorch patterns from the surface of Calth itself. The 121st keeps it in the line not for sentiment but because despite its…

When the 121st rebuilt after Calth, Legate Presca said, “The Legion still breathes.” Veteran Assault Squad Ardentis was that breath made flesh. Drawn from Inductii who survived the earliest retaliations of the Shadow Wars, they carry themselves with quiet defiance, as if to prove the XIIIth never truly broke. Every strike they make is an…

Techmarine Corvina Cauris calls her methods “practical deviations.” She never breaks from equipment regulations, she just interprets its margins. Her tools are modified for efficiency, her calibrations half a hair from standard, her results flawless. The Magi grumble; Legate Presca does not. Every boltgun she’s serviced fires smoother, every reactor she’s tuned runs longer. Wargear…
