History[edit | edit source]
Equipment[edit | edit source]
Boltguns were the primary weapon used by tactical squads, but squad members also carried bolt pistols, fragmentation grenades, and shaped-charge grenades. One legionary per squad would often carry a nuncio-vox for communications across the battlefield, another would carry a vexilla, while a different legionary would carry an augury scanner. Additionally, sergeants often exchanged their bolt pistols for various patterns of hand flamers, volkite serpentas, and plasma pistols, as well as carried thermal charges.
Tactical Legionaries wore power armor of various marks, with the squad's sergeant occasionally wearing a suit of artificer armor as a mark of status.
