History
The 131st Company of the XVIth Legion is a Terran company raised from the Saxonicii Enclave of the Albion area of Old Europa. Formed to specialise as a reinforcement company that later focused on orbital assaults as part of a Speartip tactic. A small company that only numbered in the low hundreds, the 131st was attached to an Exploratory Fleet that consisted of members of the Word Bearers and Solar Auxilia.
Key Personnel
Centurion Cynemær (Famed Royal) Originally a recruit from Cthonia, Cynemær was responsible for introducing several new Cthonian units in the form of the Seekers and Destroyers into the 131st Company. A violent individual who has shown a lot of bravery particularly during the Krhoesis Campaign where together with Squad Onhigian he charged and destroyed a key enemy position. Cynemær is ambitious but he is fanatically loyal to Captain Æsc and the 131st. A Lodge member.
Units
- Despoiler Squad Onhigian (To Despoil)
A Terran unit with some Cthonian recruits that has adopted the Warmasters` Despoiler tactics. Squad Onhigian are often deployed by Kharbydis Assault Claw once a weak spot in the enemies lines have been discovered. Using saturation fire tactics followed up a vicious assault, Sqaud Onhigian are a clear favourite of Centurion Cynemær who often joins them on the battlefield. One of the main line units of the 131st. Contains some Lodge members.
- Despoiler squad
- Tactical Squad Hæst (Fury, Violence)
The Primarch of the Sons of Horus claimed that there was nothing that could not be achieved by a tactical squad and Squad Hæst emphasis this point. They are often inserted by Storm Eagle Assault Gunship into an area of the thickest fighting. They are dependable fighters and focus on targeted shooting over assaults however, being Sons of Horus, they do not shy away from such combat. Another Terran unit recruited from the Saxonicii enclave. Contains some Lodge members.
- Veteran Squad Ealdfeond (Old Foe)
Another full Terran unit within the company recruited at its founding. Unlike Squad Eadburga, Squad Ealdfeond specialise in lightning assaults from landing craft or wide sweeping manoeuvres. Often deployed by Dreadclaw. These Astartes have several decades of experience and lend their support on the battlefield to where it is needed the most, focusing on a fluid fighting style that does not pin them in place for too long. They are the eptiome of the Warmasters` Wolves. None of its members belongs to the Lodges.
- Assault Squad Getæl (Swift, Having Mastery)
Recruited mainly from Terra together with some recent recuits from Cthonia, Squad Getæl date from when the 131st first undertook its training for Orbital Assault missions. Often deploying from Stormbird dropships high above the battlefield, Squad Getæl often focus on key objectives such as super heavy vehicles or key enemy positions. Often high casualties are a risk they face in the completion of their missions and they suffer one of the highest unit recruitments in the 131st. Several Lodge members form part of the unit.
- Tactical Support squad
- Terminator Squad Eadburga (Wealthy Fortress)
A full Terran unit from the original founding of the company. Whilst acting as a veteran tactical unit, they displayed a tendency for attacking key battlefield targets; enemy champions, warleaders, witches and so forth. Before the Merkhian Campaign they were issued with the new Terminator Plate and were a key strikeforce; slaying the "Merkhian King" together with his bodyguard. Often used as the Point of the Spear in Orbital Assaults. Some of its members have recently become part of the Lodges.
- Destroyer squad
- Seeker squad
- Heavy Support Squad Ofweorpan (To Kill with a missile)
A Terran unit from the Saxonicii enclave that has members as part of the Lodges. The first heavy support squad from the founding of the company. It is noticeable that Sergeant Leofrikh only allows Terran recruits to replace any casualties. Often deployed in a second wave via drop pod to focus fire on key targets providing a threat to the first wave with priority being vehicular targets. Squad Ofweorpan won fame during the Ullanor Campaign by destroying an entire mob of heavily armoured Nobz before they could make contact with Squad Getæl who were targeting a Big Mek and his entourage.
- Heavy Support Squad Wierp (Cast, Throw)
Recruited with a mix of Terran and Cthonian recruits just before the Merkhian campaign, Squad Wierp proved its worth during the first wave when it was deployed by drop pod and destroyed several light vehicles that threatened to outflank the initial drop forces. Together with Tactical Support Squad Feorstudu, Squad Wierp is often used for suppressive fire to allow the larger tactical units and Speartip forces to fully engage the enemy. Unusually for units with Cthonian recruits, none of its members belong to the Lodges.
- Rapier Weapons Battery
Only deployed when the 131st has made the initial Speartip assault, the rapiers of the company provide much needed Anti-Tank support for a light drop company.
- Breacher Squad
