He had been initially dismissive of needing to take up the armor once again, until Perturabo witnessed the cool efficiency and endurance of the Saturnine-equipped [[Salamanders]]. The Iron Warriors Primarch then began the mass-manufacture of the armor and by 012.M31, the [[Traitor Legion|Legion]] was able to field [[Space Marine Company|company-strength]] Tekathikos formations of Saturnine Terminators, who were supported by many Saturnine Dreadnoughts. These Tekathikos companies where then placed under the command of a specialized cadre of veteran [[Praetor (Rank)|Praetor]]s and [[Centurion (Rank)|Centurion]]s.{{Fn|11a}}

The Tekathikos fought at the height of the [[Siege of Inwit]] and besieged many [[Loyalist]] strongholds across the [[Imperial Fists]]' [[Inwit Cluster]]. The [[Space Marine Company|companies]] gained a reputation that matched their name, as the Tekathikos shattered their foes' walls and then killed their enemies with contempt. The Tekathikos unleashed so much horror across the Inwit Cluster, that the Imperial Fists' high command formed hunter-killer task forces to destroy them. These task forces were armed with specialist weaponry to do so and were charged with killing the Tekathikos first, above all other [[Traitor]] forces.{{Fn|11a}}
