SvenIronhand Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I believe it's his personal retainers, iirc. Karhedron and Helias_Tancred 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Heresy Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 As @SvenIronhand has said it's a Marshals personal retainers, advisers and so forth, mostly made up of his Sword Bretheren.

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Black Templars do not have fixed companies like other chapters. Depending on how large a given crusade it might be organized into several Fighting Companies, each lead by a castellan. They vary in size and number based on the size of the crusade. The Marshal's household is essentially the Marshal's own "Fighting Company", and has been said, is made up by the marshals advisor, the swordbrethren and such. If fighting companies are temporary battle companies for the black templars, the marshals household is a temporary first company. It's where our "first company veterans", aka the sword brethren go. If you have the 4th edition codex on hand, look at the very end of it. You can see the make up a very large crusade (was it the armageddon crusade? Been so long, I dont have the book on hand). It gives a very good idea how a large templar crusade is organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had the only chaplains and EC in that crusade. The other companies did have apothecaries and tanks etc I use past tense because the crusade lasted 17 years and the marshal took over another crusade Edited August 11, 2023 by Beta galactosidase Fixed columns Helias_Tancred and Marshal Mittens 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
