Flaming Skulls Colour Scheme
The Legio Magna (Flaming Skulls) are a Traitor Titan Legion of the Dark Mechanicus that repudiated their oaths to the Emperor of Mankind and followed the Warmaster Horus in service to the Ruinous Powers during the Horus Heresy. This Legion swore itself to the sole service of the Blood God Khorne. There is very little information in Imperial records about this obscure Titan Legion, though they are suspected to have been founded before the Age of the Imperium, during the Age of Strife. The Legio Magna's homeworld was located in the Ultima Segmentum, where they hailed from the seventh planet of the Esteban System, the Forge World of Esteban VII. It is assumed that they were either destroyed at the end of the Heresy or were driven towards the Eye of Terror along with the rest of the Forces of Chaos. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
Legion History
Notable Campaigns
- Schism of Mars (ca. 205.M31) - Later Imperial histories record that the first blow of the Martian civil war unleashed during the Horus Heresy that was known as the Schism of Mats was struck against Magos Mattias Kefra, whose forge in the Sinus Sabaeus region of the Red Planet was housed within the Madler Crater. Titans of the Legio Magna marched from the southern Noachis region and within minutes had smashed down the gates of his forge. Howling engines daubed in red, orange, yellow and black and decorated with flaming horned skull devices, ran amok within the high walls of the crater, crushing everything living beneath them and destroying thousands of years of accumulated wisdom in a fury of fire. Vast libraries burned and weapon shops that served the Solar Guard were reduced to molten slag as the indiscriminate slaughter continued long into the night.
- Battle of Terra (ca. 212.M31) - The Legio Magna took part in numerous engagements during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, but their most notable action occurred when they took part in the Battle of Terra and the Siege of the Imperial Palace.
