Clewz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Probably just an act of deception but Harrowmasters for the Alpha Legion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293051-list-of-rank-names-for-each-legion/page/2/#findComment-3733647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMagnus Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Wasnt Marshal the rank of Siguismund? Or was that first captain? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293051-list-of-rank-names-for-each-legion/page/2/#findComment-3733711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackoption Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Sigismund was the First Captain and Commander of the Templars (the first company of the Imperial Fists). Marshal was a title given to Senior Captains based on a specific duty is was required to perform (such as commander of a crusade or campaign). Other titles for captains included Senecshal, Castellan, and Fleet Master... Each having its own duty description and were the senior officer in all matters relating to their duties.

TemujinZero Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Harrowmaster was also a temporary title given to the commander of a particular Alpha Legion campaign. The Harrowing could refer to one of these campaigns, to the force prosecuting it, or to the legion as a whole. With the Alpha Legion you basically have the freedom to use whatever titles you want, since the XXth were very keen on having a hundred names for the same thing, each of them part deception, part an accurate reflection of the legion's heterogeneity.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Alpha Legion - from the short story "The Harrowing" in "Sedition's Gate". Chapter = Harrow Praetor = Harrow Master Company = Hort Captain = Strike Commander It's not clear whether the commander of a Hort is always a Strike Commander. The story features a single Hort so it may be that Strike Commander is a battlefield designation indicating who is in command of a given operation or "strike".
