The '''Legio Venator''' (''Iron Spiders''){{Fn|3}} is an [[Imperial]] [[Titan Legion]]{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} based on the [[M'khand]]{{Fn|3}} or [[Opus Macharius]].{{Fn|4a}}{{Fn|Conflicting sources}}. It was originally based on the world of [[Arachnus (Forge World)|Arachnus]]{{Fn|6}}.
==Overview==
Despite the previous conflict, over the [[Great Crusade]] their forces gained a sense of pride in brotherhood and unity, a belief at odds with those left behind on Arachnus. During the [[Cataclysm of Iron]] the Legion split between the 2/3rds of loyalists waging the Great Crusade and the remaining 1/3rd on Arachnus that pledged themselves to the [[Dark Mechanicum]], becoming known as the [[Legio Tritonis]].{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6}} After this, the loyalist Legio Venator used their secondary forge-fortress of [[M'Khand]] as their primary fortress. When Arachnus was reclaimed at the end of the Heresy M'Khand remained their home due to the devastation and corruption wrought upon Arachnus.{{Fn|6}}
==Titans==
At the time of its discovery by the Imperium, the Legio Venator fielded some 134 Titans, including two [[Imperator Titan|Imperators]]. Of these, only 54 Titans and a single Imperator survived the Arachnus conflict. However by the time of the [[Horus Heresy]] most of its strength had been rebuilt, but by 011.[[M31]] following the splintering of the Legion, the loyalist elements were reduced to 67 Titans. Of these, most were [[Reaver Titan|Reavers]] and [[Warhound Titan|Warhounds]]. Over the Heresy M'Khand worked tirelessly to build larger Titans, while the Legio Venator also managed to capture many during the [[Cataclysm of Iron]].{{Fn|6}}

==Trivia==
{{Trivia}}
==={{Endn|Conflicting sources}}===
In [[Imperial Armour Volume One - Second Edition: Imperial Guard]] the home of Legio Venator is said to be [[M'khand]] but in [[Dark Heresy: The Lathe Worlds]] their home is said to be [[Opus Macharius]]. This could be a conflict but it is possible that either the legio moved homeworlds or they occupy them both.
The Legion's homeworld history changes changed again with the [[Horus Heresy]]series, when it is said that it was founded on the world of [[Arachnus (Forge World)|Arachnus]] with M'khand acting as a secondary fortress. However due to the events of the Heresy, M'khand remained the home of the loyalist portion of the Legion even after the conflict.{{Fn|6}}
