History
The Legio Ignatum fought in the Horus Heresy at one stage they even defended the Imperial Palace. The Fire Wasps still retain a number of Titans from the Emperor's time. After the lifting of the siege of the Palace, the Legio took part in the campaigns to track down and punish the heretics.
It fought on Paramar V and in the system of Tallarn, whose inhabitants courageously fought to resist the Renegade Legions.
Throughout the long and bloody campaigns, the Fire Wasps kept their fierce hatred of the Legio Mortis, their old rivals turned to Chaos. This infamous Traitor Legion battered the walls of the Imperial Palace, and terrorised and systematically exterminated the populations of dozens of hive cities on Paramar and Tallarn. The hatred for the traitor Legio burns in the hearts of the members of the Legio Ignatum and one day old debts must be repaid!
Today the Fire Wasps are the only Titan Order to have the honour of guarding the Gate to the Golden Throne.
More recently it was involved in both the Third War for Armageddon and the 13th Black Crusade.
Third War for Armageddon
Here the Legio Ignatum was used by Commissar Yarrick along with Space Marines, Cadian Shock Troopers and the Legio Metallica to destroy Ork Roks, especially along the Hemlock River.
Thirteenth Black Crusade
In the Thirteenth Black Crusade the Legio worked alongside the Jouran Dragoons and Space Marines of the Death Spectres chapter.
