History

Pre-Heresy

The Lion Hearts are the 121st Company under the 12th Battalion of the VII Legion; accomplished and specializing in ship to ship boarding actions and siege breaking when fielding their armour units. Not content with sitting back waiting for the enemy they use a combination of heavy close range fire support from their vehicles in conjunction with tactical marines and Breachers to force the enemy into unfavorable positions where their close combat specialists can finish the remaining resistance off. Always looking to be on the attack Captain Gerrad was accomplished in void combat as well as any Captain of the VII Legion but always felt it was his duty to lead his Astartes from the front often leading his Breachers with boarding shield and power fist taking any challenger down in the process.

The Heresy Breaks

The 121st "Lion Hearts" had a long and glorious history throughout the Emperor's Great Crusade. Leading up to the Heresy the Lion Hearts had spent many decades among the stars doing the work of the Emperor and Dorn. When the Heresy broke the 121st were on Terra, having been recalled to resupply and replenish their strength before returning to the crusade. Much to the frustration of the company, they were unable to take part in any action whilst the galaxy began to burn. A particular hardship for the Lion Hearts were the campaigns in the Inferno sector where there brothers fought and died whilst they had to be satisfied with infrequent data reports. Still in the midst of their resupply cycle however; the depleted company were called upon by Lord Sigismund to take part in a battle against a force of Emperor's Children lead by Lord Commander Eidolon and an allied Knightly House on Agif Prime.

Recent Actions

Under the command of 1st Captain Sigismund the 121st were able to take a surprisingly able to secure a massive victory against the traitors, suffering minimal loses and bearing witness to a great dual between the two opposing champions. Having shown their worth despite their depleted forces the first captain dispatched them to the Centrumeh Gate in the Centrumeh Sub-Sector. With fighting having been fierce in the Trugoy and Oteal systems the tired loyalist forces were in desperate need of reinforcement. Bolstered by several units from the 1st Captains own the Templar Brethren the Lion Hearts lookied to strike blows against the Great Enemy as exemplars of the VIIth Legion. Initially linking up with several forces around the planet of Raynes knowledge of the destruction of two knight's had made its way to the planet before the arrival of the 121st. Before entering into a needless conflict in an unstable truce the 121st withdrew and linked up with loyalist forces and made ready to make planet fall on the sub-sector capital Westarnes.

Followed was a long and tenuous campaign against the traitor forces and regrettably other Astartes forces who had forsaken their legions. Major victories were secured against Abbadon and his Sons of Horus in a raid on Westernes; as well as against that of a disciple of Lord Commander Eidolon with his Sons of Horus allies in the major hive. An Alpha Legion task force was also unable to capture a Knight and were nearly wiped out to a man although there is some evidence to suggest that was not their true objective. A huge blow was struck to the Company by a Night Lords champion felling Captain Gerrad in single combat.

In order to fill the void in the command structure Sargeant Sarren of the companies first Breachers squad was promoted to captain for his valor in dualling a Leviathan dreadnought. In recognition of this tremendous feat the newly promoted captain was gifted a suit of Terminator armour from the first company and a sacred blade from the Templar Brethren. Sarian has vowed to restore the pride of the Lion Hearts, hunting down the traitors who would betray their brother Astartes. With the business concluded in the Centrumeh sector including the destruction of a traitor fleet the 121st were sent an urgent message to head to the Golloch cluster. Joining a conflict that had begun to be known as The Second Golloch War the 121st were engaged on the ruined Paterswold seeking resources to bolster their battle weary forces.
