Hunter in the Grey
Hunter in the Grey was a Warhound Scout Titan belonging to Legio Maledictus[1a] which was built in the Forge Worlds of Alaris and destroyed defending Cyrthe Prime. It was armed with an Inferno gun and a Vulcan mega bolter and was commanded by Princeps Arjuran Hollison and Moderati Ganelon.[1a]
Hunter in the Grey was deployed to defend against an attack from Night Lords Space Marines and was initially successful as the Traitor Marines were unable to inflict damage on the Titan. However the remaining marines within the squad the Titan had been attacking were joined by another squad who co-ordinated an attack using a Thunderhawk Transport and Land Raider to collapse the Titan's void shields allowing Talos of the reinforcing squad to cut into one of the Warhound's feet and insert a melta charge. On detonation of the melta charge the Titan collapsed to the ground allowing the Nightlords to attack the cockpit, Talos removed Princeps Hollison and gave him to the Tech-priest Deltrian aboard the Covenant of Blood[1b].
During the battle the three Warhounds were ordered into an underground transit tunnel by the Iron Hands Commander Rauth to to provide heavy fire support for the troops attempting to break into the central Capitolis[1b]. During the offensive action the Iron Hands moved quickly ahead leaving the Imperial Guard soldiers and the Warhounds behind and unsupported, Ferus Arma was suffering serious problems with its sensor systems due to conditions in the tunnel and lacking maneuverability. As the battle progressed, Slanneshi Daemonettes were unleashed and attacked Ferus Arma by hurtling themselves at the void shields. Initially the Warhound was able to defend itself by opening fire with both its inferno cannon and mega bolter but when the inferno cannon overheated and the mega bolter ran out of ammo the Daemonettes took advantage and smashed through the void shields, then ripped the weapons off before the Titan could resume fire.[1c] The Daemonettes proceeded to the cockpit, killing the crew and then destroying Ferrus Arma as well as Guis Odio and Gaius Thrysus.
