==House Grendel==
There are few that would argue on the matter of what House Grendel represents to all good Loyalists of the galaxy - they stand as a twisted testament to the corrupting influence of the xeno and the vileness of alien technology.

Knights of the Fortress Worlds, House Grendel originates from the border world of Demeter, where the once-fruitful soil is now burnt black and stained with soot, the sky coursing with the unnatural green fires of the planet's heretek foundries. Much like the Legion they serve under, the Knights of House Grendel are twisted mockeries of true Imperial purity, embedded with tumorous hearts of flowing, pulsing bio-steel. Flowing across and through the metal of their forms in great sinews, the blasphemous technology grants them unnatural fortitude, repairing damaged systems and absorbing nearby materials to fuel its functions, sloughing the armour from enemy constructs much as a hyena might slurp the flesh from the bones of its prey.

Preferring to fight up close and personal, the Knights of House Grendel are commonly equipped with Titan-sized lightning claws, and tend to employ volkite weapons or gatling cannons for their ranged capability, as well as a more esoteric weapon known as an Ionbuck - a close-quarters firearm that unleashes a spray of charge particles, frying the integral systems of its targets.
