Legio Ignatum

The Legio Ignatum, the Fire Wasps, ranked among the most ancient and honoured of all the Titan Legions, a loyalist order whose devotion to the Emperor never wavered through the long night of the Heresy. Mustered from the deep forge-holdings of Mars, the Legio traced its lineage to the earliest days of the Mechanicum and carried battle honours from a thousand compliances of the Great Crusade. Its engines went to war in bold liveries of gold and black, and the Fire Wasp sigil upon their carapaces was a promise of unrelenting fury, for the Legio favoured an aggressive, close-pressed style of war that brought the full weight of its god-machines to bear at the decisive point. When the Collegia Titanica fractured, Ignatum stood unhesitatingly for Terra, and its Princeps hurled their engines into the war's cruellest battles against the traitor Legios that had once been kin. At Beta-Garmon and in the defence of the loyalist cause across the burning stars, the Fire Wasps bled themselves grievously, trading engine for engine against foes who fought with equal ferocity and none of their honour. To the Warmaster's Titan hosts, the gold-and-black of Ignatum was the mark of an enemy who would not break, would not turn, and would sell each god-engine dearly before it fell.
