"The Orders of the Adeptus Titanicus are the iron fist of the Emperor's rule. A velvet glove would serve no purpose."
- — Grand Master Augrim, Divisio Militaris Order of Imperial Eagles
The Titan Legions (also known as Titan Orders) of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Collegia Titanica are the individual units that deploy the great Titan combat walkers which are the greatest war machines available to the armed forces of the Imperium of Man. The Titan Legions have proud histories, as the origins of some stretch back to the Age of Strife and the colonisation of the first Forge Worlds of the Cult Mechanicus, before the time of the Unification Wars and the Great Crusade that created the Imperium.
The nigh-unstoppable, towering mechanical behemoths known as "Titans" are the pinnacle of the Adeptus Mechanicus' superior technological knowledge and the prime example of the Imperium's military might.
Manufactured on the Mechanicus' Forge Worlds, these embodiments of the Omnissiah stalk the battlefields of the Imperium, utilising arcane technology and terrible weaponry to unleash their apocalyptic fury upon the Emperor of Mankind's foes.
These great war machines are revered as much for their long service and past deeds as they are for the superior firepower they can unleash upon the enemies of Mankind.
