A heavy intercessor squad is a formation used amongst Primaris Marines of the Adeptus Astartes of the Imperium of Man.
Description[edit | edit source]
A heavy intercessor squad is made up of a sergeant and four to nine battle-brothers. Two battle-brothers will often be designated as heavy gunners of a ten-man squad, wielding heavier weaponry than their compatriots. Tactically, it is classified as a battleline squad, most often used in defensive positions against an onslaught of foes.
Heavy intercessor squads are all equipped with Mark X power armor configured to the Gravis pattern, utilizing the advanced protection of the suit. Typical armament for the squad is a Mark II Cawl pattern heavy bolt rifle, a heavy bolt pistol, fragmentation grenades, and shaped-charge grenades given to each squad member. These bolt rifles will often be exchanged for Hellstorm or Executor variants of the standard bolt rifle. The squad's heavy gunners will typically wield either a standard, an Executor variant, or a Hellstorm variant heavy boltgun,
