Simply put, the Crimson Teeth epitomise strength. From their cultural philosophies to their battlefield tactics, Legio VII value strength above all. Seeing little honour in employing guile, the Teeth favour direct and decisive approaches. During the Great Crusade they were a brutal and effective force who beat recalcitrant worlds into submission with mass-executions, ruthless intimidation, and even on occasion genocide. From reunification with their primarch, Camaxtli, the VII would find themselves increasingly at odds with the majority of their brother Astartes. At the start of the Heresy, they sided with the traitors and waged bloody war across the galaxy on behalf of Hektor and the Ruinous Powers.

Organisation

Specialist Units

Headhunters - they form them first, spread to other legions.

Support Formations and Auxilia=

The Bound

Slaves aka Bondsman/Bondswoman forced to fight. Not unlike penal regiments

The Executioners

Slaves freed for impressing their masters by surviving, form paramilitary units, usually short lived - they are freed, join a Executioner battalion and are used to subjugate a world. Usually involved heavily with mass executions and genocides. They can then retire on that world, or continue with the legion until they die or reach a world they choose to retire to.
