The Colchisian Torquatii were Solar Auxilia Regiments, that served the Word Bearers and were raised from Legion's Homeworld, Colchis, during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.[1]
History
They were originally composed of citizens from Colchis' great coastal cities and wore sombre funerary black and grey. However the Torquatii would later adopt the same red color used by the Word Bearers, which was applied to the Regiments' chest armor and helmets. These were first adorned with script and runic devices from Colchis' esoteric traditions, but they were later replaced by the teachings of the Word Bearers' Primarch, Lorgar. This also applied to the Regiment's vehicles, whose red panel honor livery were penned with lines of votive text and runic icons.[1]
