Retreat from Fiedria VII - 371 M.33

As we had landed to Fiedria Marshall Edrick ordered thorough search of usable material from this barren, deserted planet. Exploration team never returned and Marshall saw wise to examine unexpected turn of events himself with his personal guard of nine veterans clad in holy suit of Destroyer-armor. Ambush was apparent when Edrick received several bolts of unknown energy, which stripped his flesh and armor and brought madness upon his wisdom, which allowed him to tear machine-men to pieces with his bare hands. Only once did honored Marshall retreat and upon such defiant act he perished, but only after killing all machine-men.

Legion grieved his death greatly and placed him within ancient suit of Dreadnought to always guide Legion.

Encounter with Aguthur - 012 M.34

As we travelled in Maelstrom Legion confronted Aguthur the Mincer, chosen of Khorne and his warband. Battle was inevitable as Legion was forced to defend itself. Losses were great on our side, but Khornate warband suffered even greater losses, for Ensio tore through his bodyguard and Aguthur was torn to pieces. Only fool fights against Dreadnought without any usable weapon and that lesson Aguthur learned well, for he told it to his master.

Prejudice is foolishness - 666 M35

As legion confronted Ultramarines in open space our diplomatic contact was answered with cannons and insults. Should you judge by prejudice or by actions? As Ultramarines attacked without provocation they judged by prejudice. They have sentenced themselves to wage war against Legion. Only when they ask for diplomacy, shall they receive it. Over half of our force was thrown to void during that day. Their death was great loss to our cause.

Change of action - 109 M.36

Under half strenght did Marshall Andrei decide our plan of survival. Now legion would recruit soldiers to work as spearhead in our battles and show their skill. It would make our numbers greater in cost of skill. Marines are great warriors, but even as such they are dependent of their human emotions of loyalty and bravery.

Cost was great, but it was worth it - 542 M.36

Within bowels of The Eye we faced scientist with great skill and ruthless attitude. Fabius Bile demanded half of our current strenght and thousand men and women from our ranks to work for him, before he would teach us how to create marines from ordinary humans. Such price was paid reluctantly and knowledge was gained. Bile proved worth of his infamous reputation, for our marines were created to specific legions and straightly their original flaws were still apparent as we started our recruitment again. In addition Fabius demanded, that he could force Legion to specific task.

Time to settle the score - 238 M.37

Legion had not forgotten hospitality from those suckers of Macragge. From shadow of planet we attacked and catched their detachment between hammer and anvil. Planetary defences were the anvil and we were the hammer. Fleet was crushed and our troops teleported down to surface to finish them off. In battle Marshall Kilgore faced their commander in single battle. His body was placed to shuttle and sent towards Macragge. That was no battle. It was revenge.

Massed recruitment of Contquan III - 527 M.37

Legion stopped to world pacified by Irons Hands. Superstitious horror caused by genocide encouraged only brave. One of those valorous souls not only came himself to us but brought 50 more valorous spirits to fight. No reason to make tests, for what we sought had come to us. Marshall Valek saw it clear that we had gained enough and Legion was off to space again.

Fall of Marshall Valek - 978 M37

Excessive confidence is seed of defeat. Even if the weapon is old, it does not mean it is inefficient. With horrible wounds Valek learned this lesson and was carried away from field of battle wounded. In here Fred of Contquan III-recruitment proved his final worth as great warrior. Valek recovered from his wounds and he chose to leave legion to seek the Home of Night with few chosen voluntary soldiers. Fred was elected as new Marshall.

Liberation of Dolcya - 587 M.38

Request of aid came to our knowledge and with haste we reached this planet ruled by bloodthirsty tyrant. Many chapters of loyalists were on their way to quell the rebellion and Legion was forced to act and leave before loyalists would arrive. Bloodthirsty tyrant had decided to eliminate 75% of planetary population as warning to heretics he had perceived. Such act of madness was unheard even by Inquisition and we attacked directly to tyrants home. Several horrors of warp were faced as Marshall Fred faced Inquisitor in his chapel. Great battle was fought as possessed Inquisitor was gunned down. Those who fight with hate become what they sought to destroy.

Return to Fiedria VII - 056 M.39

By insight of honored Dreadnought Ensio we headed back to Fiedria VII visited by us long time ago. It was battle only fought by Ensio as he headed alone to barren landscape. After seven nights of horrifying cold he returned burned by fire and stripped from his shell, but still active. Along with him he carried aloft scythe able to carve its way through metal and energy. It was bound to his shell and eases his unending rest within Dreadnought.

Encounter with old enemy - 624 M.39

As we had not forgotten our grudge with Ultramarines we faced them again in field of battle. Merciless battle of unreached scale took place as their detachment threw all they had against us. Agile soldiers between clumsy tanks proved to be our victory as expensive machinery was crushed. Ensio himself slew two of their Dreadnoughts and one missile-launching tank before he was happy. In loot of war Marshall Fred received extensive copy of Codex Astartes and their company banner.

Old debts are hardest to pay - 968 M.39

As rumor of Abaddon Despoilers new crusade became apparent Fabius Bile demanded legion to his task. Fred reluctantly agreed to aid Primogenitor in his quest. Legion's new target would be genetic material of primarch Conrad Kurze. As Kurze's death was very suspicious incident Fabius had concluded, that his genetic material was available even he might himself be dead.

Quest was accepted and until this day Legion has not found any clues about fate of this secretive and infamously cunning primarch.
