The Legio Vulturus is a Traitor Titan Legion that fell to Chaos and has long served as an ally of the Word Bearers Traitor Legion, during both the Horus Heresy and into the 41st Millennium.

Legion History[]

During the Great Crusade, the Legio Vulturus was a loyal member of the ancient Mechanicum's Collegia Titanica but sided with the cause of the Warmaster Horus once the Horus Heresy began due to the influence of Erebus, then the first chaplain of the Word Bearers Legion and later a Dark Apostle.

In the course of that great civil war, the Legio Vulturus won a spectacular victory against the Loyalist Legio Gryphonicus and Legio Victorum, destroying 40 of those Legios' god-engines in a single engagement that had occurred unexpectedly.

Millennia later in the 41st Millennium, a large contingent of the Legio Vulturus of demi-legio size served as part of the Word Bearers armada that took part in the Battle of the Boros Gate. While the Chaos Titans initially caught the Imperial defenders by surprise and overwhelmed them, the Legio's forces were destroyed in turn by the arrival of the Necrons under the command of the Necron Overlord known as the Undying One, who sought to reclaim their ancient artefact known as the Nexus Arrangement.
