Equipment[edit | edit source]

Praetors were typically equipped with artificer-wrought suits of power armor, typically modified with iron haloes to provide even greater protection. They had access to the width and breadth of the armory of the Legions, utilizing weapons as varied as boltguns, combi-weapons, volkite chargers, and shotguns. As for sidearms, praetors used bolt pistols, volkite serpentas, plasma pistols, disintegrator pistols, and even ancient archaeotech-based weaponry. In melee combat, they wielded chainswords, chainaxes, charnabal blades, and power weapons. Finally, they often carried frag grenades, krak grenades, and thermal charges should the need for explosives arise.
