These units were not permanent formations, but were formed for particular battles against foes deemed worthy, and whose membership existed outside of the usual rigid rank structure that characterised the IIIrd Legion. When such an enemy was encountered, the senior commanders would draw together the finest swordsmen from amongst the Emperor's Children forces present, a selection made easier by the relentless sparring and duelling that took place between battles to hone the Legion's skills.

When twenty Millennials (Chapters) of the Legion came together under Fulgrim to destroy the Golden Kings of the Moraeb Drifts, over a hundred of the Blade Brotherhood took to the field. Amongst them were warriors who had already writ a legend among their Legion; Lucius, Akurduana, Irmandus and Fulgrim himself led them against the bodyguards of the Heretek kings.
