Legionies Astartes Warhounds – Legion Contemptor Dreadnought “Skieringer”

Among one of very first Consul-Opsequiari in the XIIth Legion, Skieringer was a brutally pragmatic taskmaster who brooked no lapses in battlefield discipline – What he could not halt with booming chastisement, he brought low with bolt revolver and bearded axe. Felled in battle during the early stages of the Nove Shendak Campaign, in honour of his unwavering service, Skieringer was interred in one of the new Contemptor-pattern dreadnoughts. Although his position as Consul-Opsequiari was taken by his protégé Haadlingen, he continued to serve as a bulwark of discipline, crushing dissent with heavy conversion beamer and dreadnought chainfist. Skieringer perished in glorious combat, nearly two decades before the legion was reunited with its primarch, his last words, spoken in High Gothic, reputed to be, ‘Morior invictus, custos morum’: “I die unconquered, a guardian of morals”.
