Shattered Legions

The Shattered Legions are mixed battle groups of surviving Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Salamanders after the Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V, waging a hit-and-run war. Their famed raider is the cruiser Sisypheum (the theft of the Kryptos on Cavor Sarta, the interruption of Fulgrim’s ascension at Iydris, the raid on Luna for the Magna Mater). The warleader Shadrak Meduson wove a guerrilla network against Tybalt Marr, vowing to take his head.
