“Iron Skulls” — a loyalist Titan Legion from the forge world of Metalica in the Charadon sector. The world stayed loyal, but through the intrigues of Legio Vulturum a traitor branch of the legion was created, staining the reputation of the loyalists. It fought at the Ruin of Maerdan (008.M31) with Gryphonicus and Destructor and feuded with Legio Pallidus Mor over false accusations of treason.
