Steel Brethren
|
The Steel Brethren (also Steel Brotherhood) are an Iron Warriors warband.[1][3b] They were exiled from Medrengard after a bitter conflict with their Legion.[4] Since then, the warband operates from the Devastation Cruiser Ferrum Invictus,[2b][3a] accompanied by a number of Dark Mechanicum Magi.[3c]
Known actions
- 600-730.M34 - The Dispute of Iron: In this civil war, the Steel Brethren were driven from Medrengard, but not before inflicting heavy losses on the Grand Company of Warsmith Gharrok and stealing a valuable Infernal Relic Land Raider Achilles, earning Gharrok's lasting hatred.[4a][4b]
- 813-830.M41 - Siege of Vraks: The Steel Brethren were one of the eleven Chaos Space Marine Warbands that took part in the Siege of Vraks.[2a][3b] The warband's intervention in the siege was probaby motivated by its desire to gain access to Vraks' massive and ancient weapons arsenal. In particular, the Steel Brethren received several working Valdor Tank Hunters and a data-core containing the tank's design in return for their aid to the Vraksian Renegade Militia.[3c]
