Terminator Titanhammer Squad
Terminator Titanhammer Squads are a military formation used by the Space Marines.
Overview
These squads represent the indomitable spirit of the Space Marines in their battle against their enemies. They were pioneered by Captain Darnath Lysander of the Imperial Fists, and proved to be an extremely successful formation, as evidenced by their successful suppression and eventual extermination of the Legio Unctator.[1]
When the Unctator Titan Legion sent to support the Imperial Fists unexpectedly turned on them, they threatened to destroy Lysander's Astartes. Thinking quickly, he formulated a plan that involved the assembling of a number of Terminator Assault Squads armed with Thunder Hammers.[1]
Taking command of this new squad Captain Lysander and his retinue teleported to the bridge of his flagship, where the captain retrieved a single Vortex grenade. Commending their souls to the Emperor they teleported back down to the planet, emerging into the material realm within the void shields of one of the Chaos Titans. As it approached Lysander threw the vortex grenade, which disabled the Titan and created a hole within the massive machine. With this opening formed, the "Titanhammer" squad went inside the large machine and used their thunder hammers to destroy the Titan from within. This action was repeated with the other Chaos Titans, resulting in the destruction of the entire renegade Legio.[1]
Since that day, Lysander has always assembled Titanhammer squads to deal with Chaos forces' war machines. Furthermore, several more Chapters have followed Lysander's example.[1]
