Overview

The Legion's homeworld of Metalica lies in one of the most dangerous parts of the galaxy, an area infested with Orks and constantly threatened by war. The Iron Skulls were veterans of centuries of warfare even before the Great Crusade and re-unification with Terra. To date the Legio Metalica's tally of victories is unsurpassed by any other Titan Legion.⁴

Second War for Armageddon

The Legio was stationed on Armageddon during the Second War for Armageddon. It was commanded by Princeps Prime Kurtiz Mannheim and based at Hive Tartarus.

Under the orders of Von Strab, he marched his Titans into the biggest Ork formation he could find. His legion was quickly cut down by the huge numbers of Gargants employed by the Orks. Mannheim's own Titan, Steel Hammer, managed to destroy three gargants before its main reactor was damaged. Mannheim marched his titan into the centre of the Ork horde and allowed his reactor to overload. The legion was all but annihilated that day.

Third War for Armageddon

The Legio fought with Commissar Yarrick to destroy Ork Rok drop sites along with Legio Ignatum, Cadian Shock Troopers and various Space Marine chapters, along the Hemlock River.
