Medusan Immortal

Medusan Immortals Squads was a specialised unit of the Iron Hands Legion that existed during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras during the 30th and early 31st Millennia. They were comprised of those Iron Hands Legionaries who had failed their Primarch's rigid standards and bleak code in battle, whether tasting defeat by the fickle whims of fate or whether laid low by a wound too terrible to bear, the Medusan Immortals Squads were the forlorn hope, a final chance at glory and redemption where the battle was at its fiercest and the risk of survival, even for an Astartes, was at its dimmest. Armed and armoured principally as Legion Breacher assault units and featuring a high level of cybernetic rebuild among them, the Immortals bore no symbols of their Clan or Legion, save its numeration and the black-on-white death's head symbol which proclaimed their mortal intent.
