The Legio Krytos are a Traitor Titan Legion.

History

Before their discovery by the Imperium, the Legio Krytos took part in a brutal war against the ruthless slave-empire known as the Agrenium Convocation, which besieged their own Forge World of Krytos. The war wrought great change upon the psyche of the Legio, who came to specialize in Siege Titans such as the Warlord and Warbringer Nemesis. It took over a century of war for the Legio to subdue the Agrenium Convocation until they annihilated their homeworld of Planet-269A, also known as Agreniux. Shortly thereafter, Legio's homeworld of Krytos was discovered by the 125th Expeditionary Fleet under Perturabo, who quickly signed a pact of friendship with them.^[4]

Known as brutal and taciturn killers, throughout the later Great Crusade the Krytos distinguished itself for their policy of razing entire planets. The God breakers specialized in heavy assault missions, utilizing a mixture of devastating ranged weaponry.^[2] Perhaps as a result, they worked closely alongside the Iron Warriors.^[1] They fielded many Warbringer Nemesis Titans as well as 3 Imperator Titans, one of which was always stationed upon their homeworld of Krytos.^[4]

During the Horus Heresy, the Legio Krytos pledged itself to the traitorous Warmaster Horus.^[5] The legio took part in many sieges against Imperial fortresses alongside the Iron Warriors, frequently assaulting worlds held by the Imperial Fists.^[4] It notably fought against the Imperium in the Battle of Tallarn, the Battle of Beta-Garmon,^[1] and, during the final stages of the Heresy, the Siege of Terra.^[5]

The Legio Krytos survived the Horus Heresy. In early M42, it fought in the Arks of Omen Campaign.^[6]

Heraldry

The symbol of the Legion is the winged hammer of its forge world, Krytos. It hearkens back to the myth that the world was formed from dead rock by the hammer of the Omnissiah himself.^[3a]
