The Coat of arms of the iron warriors of the Great Company "Urlante Metal", is equal to the pre-heresy but with the mouth wide open in a scream.
CHARACTERS
WARSMITH "GORKA EKTELION"
Said "The Collector" or also "The Nostalgic"
HORUS HERESY
Gorka Ektelion has served as the War Master of the 27th Great Company under the command of Primarca Perturabo, for whom Gorka has always had a real veneration. With the advent of the heresy of Horus, Gorka immediately sided with his own primarch, distinguishing himself in particular for his war actions during the campaign on Tallarn before ordering to gather the traitor forces of Ullanor to plan the siege to the Earth.
There is very little information about his subsequent actions, but it is certain that he participated with his Grand Company in the siege of the imperial palace, and then retired under the guidance of the First Captain Forrix.
POST-HERESY
He participated in the massacre of the hated Imperial Knights on Sabastus IV. Its traces are lost until the critical period of the War warriors of Iron dated the M34. During the civil war, his Great Company was further reduced, already proven by the battle on Earth and by the siege of Sebastus IV.
In the M36, information was revealed about a new Warband of Iron Warriors, called "Screaming Metal", chiefly assumed to be the War Master Gorka. The band was subsequently left under the supreme command of the Captain "Pnuzee", while Gorka, along with his first company and a secon company commanded by the Captain "Khorolis", has lost track by undertaking some secret missions assigned directly by Primarch Perturabo.
40-41-42 MILLENNIUM
At the beginning of the 40th millennium, the War Master met the forces of the Captain Pnuzee Company, bringing with them new and powerful gifts granted by Ezekiel Abaddon and his Primarch Perturabo.
FIRST CAPTAIN ASTAROTH
Also called "The Beast"Astaroth was one of the captains under the command of War Master Kroeger during the heresy of Horus, and then, after the battle on Earth, detach himself from his commander to join the War Master Gorka.
The years he spent with Kroeger have taken him to the Cult of the Blood of the god Khorne, turning him into a bloodthirsty Berserker, but maintaining a surprising control over his mind regarding the bloodlust to which all the Berserkers are destined.
His terminatr armor is a gift made by Gorka during their journey in search of relics immediately after the Iron War Civil War. The armor imprisons a powerful major demon, who lives in symbiosis with its occupant. The helmet in the shape of a dog, shows a row of sharp teeth that follow the movements of the wearer's face, hence its nickname "The Beast".
CAPTAIN PNUZEEAlso called "The Reaper of Tallarn"
Pnuzee was born during the M33, just before the Civil War, and from that time has always served under the command of the war master Gorka. During the two millennia before Gorka's departure, Pnuzee began to adore the Cult of Nurgle, assuming ever more gifts and assuring himself, thanks to the strong influence of the War Master, important allies, not least the High Priest of Putrefaction "Baal", which allowed the addition of numerous Pest Marine to the ranks of the Great Screaming Metal Company.
One of the gifts bestowed upon him by Grandfather Nurgle is an immense sickle, in which every soul that finds death on its blade, remains trapped forever in it, as can be clearly seen by the multitude of screaming faces that are agitated over the handle of the weapon.
ARMY
CHARACTERISTICS
The nickname of the Master of War "The Nostalgic" and "The Collector" refer to the almost fanatical research of pre-heresy objects by Gorka, of which he makes a massive use in battle, as the presence of numerous Deredeo Dreadnought, Titans of the Legio Mortis, numerous teams of veterans of heresy in Armor Potenziate Mark III and not least, his bodyguard composed of some very rare Siege tyrants in Armor Cataphratii and a Domitar-Ferrum Automata given to him by Perturabo in person, as a symbol of his extreme loyalty. The presence of one of these ancient machines that were part of the Circolo di Ferro of Perturabo has created the nickname "Piccolo Perturabo", little loved by the Master of War because he considers it an affront to his lord.
In addition, the Gorka War Master set up a specimen of Trident within his Grand Company, following the dogmas of the Legion's chain of command before it broke into so many war bands. The Trident has the task of advising the Master of War, and unlike the original Trident established by Perturabo, he holds 3 major members (respectively Captain Belial, the First Captain Astaroth and Captain Pnuzee) and their respective second commanders (the Sergeant) in Volker Command, the Aspiring Champion Kayne and the Exalted Champion Khan). The choice to include the second in the trident also the second commanders is dictated by the fact that the Captains are not always able to fully reflect the needs and tactical choices of each company, in addition to the fact that allows the War Master to analyze the command figures in a complete manner and decide who and whether to reward certain subjects, knowing well the paranoid and conspiracy of the Iron Warriors.
ENEMIES
SONS OF THE EMPEROR
Following Fulgrim's cowardly betrayal of the Angel Exterminatus, the hatred of the Legion of the Emperor's Sons was nourished over time, culminating in a war in the M40 with a band of Sons of the Emperor. The only times they fought side by side were in some battles during the 12th and the 13th black crusade called by Ezekyele Abbaddon.
The presence of slanesh demons and distorting space marines in the armies of the emperor's sons, has generated the nickname of the Great Screaming Metal Company of "The whining sluts", with which they mock the troops of the Sons of the Emperor.
