Teensy bitsy Gladius Task Force heresy... ;)

[Kastor Krieg]

It seems unfair to me that Frater might miss out on the ability to use the [REDACTED WITH ZEAL AND FURY] simply because of the label, as they choose to use the Gladius Strike Force . So, to amuse myself and share this ability with the Frater, I've "reskinned" them as Reclusiarchs. The rules are unmodified, just the fluff and the names of things.
 

Hope it allows at least some of us to take Gladius and use the full extent of permitted rules without worrying about being paddled ;)
 

PRIMARIS RECLUSIARCH

As senior spiritual leaders of the Chapter, Reclusiarchs lead by example and bring the scalding flames of the Emperor's golden light to the witch, mutant and xenos alike. By their example and holiness of relics they carry, fellow Frater do not yield to any threat imaginable and their battle fervor is ever reinvigorated.
