The Dragon Lords legion often appeared as dour to outsiders, as during battle their armour was grey camoflage, and they were often very silent. Ships used by the Dragon Lords were painted to look like distant stars to act as a form of camoflage, and they were shaped entirely for function rather than style. When people came aboard the ships however, they saw much beautiful artwork adorning the insides. Paintings, sculptures, tapestries, bas-reliefs, and much more, all could be seen inside the ship. After successful campaigns the Dragon Lords would have awesome parties, they would drink and eat until they passed out. The Dragon Lords themselves were friendly outside of combat, always cracking jokes and playing pranks on eachother. Maximus beleived that such a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere was key to winning long campaigns, as morale was high amongst his soldiers.

The Dragon Lords favored the use of overwhelming power to win battles. Maximus would do everything possible to gain an advantage over the enemy. He would recriut as many new astartes as possible as to outnumber the enemy, and his tech adepts were always finding new ways to incorporate advanced alien tech into their arsenal. The first wave of soldiers was usually commandos who were sent in to disable the first layer of enemy defences. He was always trying to bolster his number of psychic soldiers, because he thought that every squad should have at least one psyker. His legion never really used armoured vehicles, he would often use the armour of the Imperial armies that accompanied him.

Some of his tactics earned distrust from the other legions such as lots of psykers, using alien tech, stealth attacks, and a couple more disturbing tactics. Whenever his forces identified an enemy commander, they would eat the enemy commander so that the omophagea would give them secret enemy plans and tactics. Another thing they began doing was forcing daemonic possesion on new recruits to make them more effective when fighting warp entities.
