The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', also known as the '''True Messengers''', was a Titan Legion of the [[Collegia Titanica]] at the time of the [[Horus Heresy]] from the [[Forge World]] of [[File:Honour-bigGantz]].jpg|thumb|right|205px|The Legio Praesagius battles the Fire Masters{{Fn|15b}}]] 

The Legio Praesagius is one of the most ancient Titan Legions with a service record second only to the [[Triad Ferrum Morgulus]]. Originally The Legio was originally founded on [[Mars]] as scions of the [[Legio Gryphonicus]].{{Fn|4b5b}} They had a reputation of secular zeal and strict chivalric honor that forbade collateral damage.{{Fn|56}}

The legion gained great fame during the [[Great Crusade]] at [[Tentrion]] under Grand Master [[Bohemond (Princeps)|Bohemond]], where he ensured minimal civilian losses while also emerging victorious.{{Fn|56}} Other hard-fought battles followed as the True Messengers found themselves assigned to the vanguard of a number of [[Expedition Fleet]]s, often fighting alongside the [[XVII Legion|XVIIth]] and [[XIII Legion|XIIIth]] [[Legiones Astartes]]. In many campaigns they found themselves summoned to battles others had dubbed impossible, called upon to champion the armies of the Great Crusade and to bolster flagging morale. Amidst the howling dust wastes of [[Akeron Cards]] and the towering cities of [[Benthur]], they fought with stoic pride and utter devotion to the cause of the fledgling Imperium, and paid a high price in blood and the precious Battle Titans that were the soul of the Titan Legion to achieve victory.{{Fn|3b}}

By the dawning of the [[31st Millennium]] the True Messengers had been crippled by the continuing pace of their deployment, reduced to a third by casualties and with many of their surviving Titans unable to take to the field due to damage. Though the reputation of the Titan Legion remained intact, it could ill afford to remain at the tip of the spear of men and machines that was the Great Crusade.{{Fn|3a}} During this time, they gained the hatred of the [[Legio Mortis]] and [[Legio Suturvora]] due to its growing influence.{{Fn|56}} In recognition of the Titan Legion's service and eager to add to the defences of his newly established realm, [[Roboute Guilliman]], [[Primarch]] of the Ultramarines, prevailed upon the [[magos]] of the newly founded Forge World of [[Gantz]] to offer a new home to the Legio Praesagius.{{Fn|3a}}

By the dawn of the [[Horus Heresy]], the {{PAGENAME}} fielded 112 Titans, most of which were [[Reaver Titan|Reavers]] and [[Warlord Titan|Warlords]]. This was down from their initial size of 300 which had included large numbers of [[Warlord Titan|Warlords]], [[Imperator Titan|Imperators]], and [[Carnivore Titan|Carnivores]]. Due to its larger size, it was separated into Demi-Legio battlegroups that encouraged individual initiative and dispersion.{{Fn|56}}

[[File:Honour-big.jpg|thumb|right|205px|The Legio Praesagius battles the Fire Masters{{Fn|1}}]]Staying loyal to the forces of the [[Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] they defended the population of [[Ithraca]] from the [[Fire Masters]] with the aid of the [[Ultramarines]] during the [[Calth]] campaign.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} The Legion took heavy losses during the Heresy, largely due to the surprise attack by the [[Word Bearers]] and their allies.{{Fn|56}}
