The history of the original Minervan Tank Legion has long since passed into legend, but the stories are still told amongst the Minervan Guardsmen of the Armageddon Steel Legion and their very first Colonel, Jeremiah Mantubb. There is some evidence to suggest that the 1st Armageddon Steel Legion, under the command of Colonel Mantubb, departed their homeworld of Armageddon to drive back the Chaos Renegades of the Sorcerer Lord Torvel the Deluded from the newly colonised world of Minerva in the 37th Millennium. The massed armoured ranks of the Steel Legion were able to completely overwhelm the Renegades in a matter of months and the war culminated with Commissar Orthos striking down the Sorcerer Lord in the midst of a pitched battle that was to set Minerva free from the domination of Chaos.

  • The history of the original Minervan Tank Legion has long since passed into legend, but the stories are still told amongst the Minervan Guardsmen of the Armageddon Steel Legion and their very first Colonel, Jeremiah Mantubb. There is some evidence to suggest that the 1st Armageddon Steel Legion, under the command of Colonel Mantubb, departed their homeworld of Armageddon to drive back the Chaos Renegades of the Sorcerer Lord Torvel the Deluded from the newly colonised world of Minerva in the 37th Millennium. The massed armoured ranks of the Steel Legion were able to completely overwhelm the Renegades in a matter of months and the war culminated with Commissar Orthos striking down the Sorcerer Lord in the midst of a pitched battle that was to set Minerva free from the domination of Chaos. The 1st Steel Legion was granted Right of Conquest and settled on the world, under the benign leadership of Colonel Mantubb who became the world's Imperial Governor. Under his rule, Minerva was made into a strong world with a potent industrial base that soon turned its growing economy to the production of arms and vehicles for the regiments of neighbouring worlds. When the time came for the first Imperial Guard regiment to be founded upon Minerva itself, the roots of the new army were clearly based within Mantubb's old force, and the 1st Minervan Tank Legion rolled out of the gigantic Minervan weapons factories to greet the cheering populace outside. This is the story that many Imperial scholars use to explain the striking similarity between the Armageddon and Minervan Legions, though it may never be verified.
