History
Clan Kaargul, 13th Order- The Hammers of Medusa can trace their history back to the unification wars fighting alongside the Emperors of mankind. Raised alongside the rest of their legion from the warlike culture of Old Albia. The recruits were chosen from those that showed the greatest mechanical aptitude, a trait that continued right up to today, with its members handpicked by Belledeus Tades himself.
Unlike most tank detachments that are assigned to assist the massed infantry as the battle dictates, the Hammers of Medusa have their own dedicated infantry specifically trained for the role with any member being able to command a tank if the need arises, leading them to be the most lethal tank Order in the entire legion. This effectiveness has granted them significant favor in the eyes of the Primarch and are the Order that he and his Morlocks call on should an armoured escort be required.
The Hammers of Medusa make significant use of Rad and Phosphex weaponry and have more Legion Destroyer squads than any other Clan, a tradition carried down though the Clan from the Unification Wars where they first learnt there deadly craft. Unlike other Clans who rely on the legion techmarines to affect repairs on its vehicles. Every legionnaire in the order is expected to do its own repairs. Due to the nature of their missions they have an extremely close relationship with the Mechanicum and its Forge World Echorix. The Hammers of Medusa are expected to have at least a company in rotating garrison on Echorix not only to help repel invaders but also to hone their skills in the repair maintenance and operation of their vehicles. In return the Planets Legio Cybernetica Cohort XXIII have joined the Clan Fleet to expand their knowledge and gather resources.
The members of the Hammers of Medusa have a secret that they dare not reveal to their fellow legionnaires they have chosen to eschew the Emperors doctrine of the Imperial Truth and are avid followers of the Cult Mechanicum. As such they regard internment into a dreadnought chassis the ultimate reward however it also comes with the reallocation to another clan company as The Hammers of Medusa way of warfare does not suit the lumbering advance of Dreadnoughts
Great Crusade
The current Iron Father of the Hammers of Medusa is Belledeus Tades a man of dark renown second only in ability to the legendary Castraman Orth and the Lord Primarch himself. When Iron Father Tades took command was a shadow of its former self after suffering losses close to 70% in the compliance of Starvis Technocracy where they were used to lead the spearhead in to its walled Capital. Tades single handedly raise what was a flailing Clan to one of the most lethal Clans in the entire legion.
There brand of Armoured Warfare meant that they are sent to some of the harshest environments known to the Great Crusade. With only the Sons of Mortarion sent to worse.
Balledeus Tades is master of the Hammer and Storm tactic. The Automata of the Legio Cybernetica
