They were the hammer that had shattered countless foes in the Emperor’s quest to liberate Mankind from the darkness of Old Night. Their Primarch was Ferrus Manus, a bellicose and uncompromising warlord and peerless weapon-smith, from whom the Xth Legion took their name and whose command was to them inviolate law. Caught up in the machinations ofthe Warmaster’s treachery, they were undone by their own hubris and the blade of the traitor both, and paid a heavy price in the brutal slaying of their Primarch and the near-crippling of their strength. Though left a shattered Legion, the cold fury of the Iron Hands’ bitter vengeance would afterwards be writ across the stars.  \nOrigins: The Hammer and the Storm  \nThe martial history ofthe Xth Legion is a relatively well-documented one, about which a great deal still survives on record to the present (in marked contrast with some others) . Alongside the other protoLegions created during the latter days of the Unification Wars on Ancient Terra, they were prepared and armed in preparation for the great work ahead, and their initial outfitting and organisation followed closely to the standard patterns set for the Legiones Astartes at the start of the Great Crusade. Their recruitment base is noted as being relatively widespread, with elements drawn from all over Ancient Terra, both from areas of longstanding Imperial support such as the Qavitine Plate cities, and from former enemy blocs such as Solus Stellax. In particular, the warlike culture and renowned brutality of the population of Old Albia, which supplied substantial numbers of recruits for the Xth, had a great deal to do with the Legion’s early character (as it also did for the XIVth), lending them a fierce pride in a warrior ancestry that predated the Legion’s founding.  \nUtilised as part of larger Legion taskforcesin the closing stages ofthe battles on Ancient Terra itself, its first individual battle honours are recorded in the wider Sol system against the mutant ‘Scythers’ of the deep-orbiting Mican Aggregation and in the extermination ofthe xenos Lyasx enclave hidden beneath the ice of Oberath. In both of these prior engagements, the Xth had proved itself to be a remorseless and fiercely disciplined attacking force, fully capable of operating with remarkable co-ordination and tightly focused wrath to achieve tactical and strategic aims. On both occasions, the Legion had defeated a powerful foe with relatively few losses despite very heavy resistance, and while operating in environmentally hazardous conditions. Because of the constraints of these two battle environments – the first being a human-made space hulk, and the second, the airless and frozen caverns ofa dead world – these victories, wh","cbCairBvdf0TXIsz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBvdf0TXIsz","pdf",3472140,13,"English","# The Iron hands\n## Origins: The Hammer and the Storm\n## Early battles and developing martial style\n## Planet 02-34 (\"Rust\") and the campaign context\n## The Seraphina Offensive","[{\"question\":\"Who was the Primarch of the Xth Legion known as the Iron Hands?\",\"answer\":\"The Iron Hands’ Primarch was Ferrus Manus, also known as “The Gorgon.”\"},{\"question\":\"What reputation did the Iron Hands have during the Great Crusade?\",\"answer\":\"They were renowned for pride, cold-hearted brutality, and remorselessness in battle, operating as a highly disciplined attacking force.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Planet 02-34 called “Rust,” and what happened there?\",\"answer\":\"Planet 02-34, colloquially “Rust,” was an arid slave-mining colony exploited by Orks, and it became a major early target of the Great Crusade where forces attacked to liberate enslaved humans.\"}]","The Iron hands - Origin - The Hammer and the Storm | PDF",1791332430]
