The '''Traitor Titan Legions''', or '''Titanicus Traitoris'''{{Fn|5}}, are [[Titan Legion]]s that have abandoned the [[Imperium]] and joined the Forces of [[Chaos]]. Nominally part of the [[Dark Mechanicum]], they operate dreaded [[Titan]] warmachines that have been corrupted by the [[Gods of Chaos]] and the Powers of the [[Warp]]. Tracing their origins to the [[Horus Heresy]], the Traitor Titan Legions maintain a fierce (and entirely mutual) hatred of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==

The origin of the Traitor Titan Legions can be traced back to the [[Horus Heresy]] when the [[Fabricator-General]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], [[Kelbor-Hal]], sided with the traitorous [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] and took over half of the Titan Legions of the [[Collegia Titanica]] with him in rebellion against the [[Emperor]]. After Horus' defeat most of the Traitor Titan Legions followed the example of their [[Chaos Space Marine]] brethren and fled into the [[Eye of Terror]]. Since that time, they have looked for opportunities for revenge against the Imperium and especially the loyalist Adeptus Mechanicus.{{Fn|1}} Many have taken part in the [[Black Crusade]]s of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] as well as campaigns waged by other powerful [[Chaos Lord]]s.{{Fn|2}}
