SPECIAL FORMATION:
Knights Penitent
Any knight brother whose squad is reduced to 3 men has the option of becoming a Knight Errant (see below) or joining the Knights Penitent. They form a separate fighting force with disparate squads and disciplines joined together to overwhelm enemies. Eg 3 tactical marines join 3 assault marines and 3 Devastator marines. They may or may not have a sergeant.
The Knights Penitent are commanded by the High Chaplain.
They are always not usually committed as a full force but rather a rapid strike force, and currently number just over 200 marines.

SPECIAL RULES / ERRATA

Knights Errant
A knight brother whose squad is reduced in size to below 3 members has the option of joining the Knights Penitent, or putting themselves forward to be Knights Errant.
A Knight Errant is effectively banished from the Chapter to perform a suicidal task set by the Chapter’s Librarians. He will be armed in his power armour and a relic blade, but with no markings.
The reward for successfully completing this task is immediate elevation to the 1st Company and the knight brother’s original squad’s honour restored.

Bronzing
Valour in battle and tactical acumen above and beyond the norm may get the attention of the Company’s senior HQ. They may then decide the battle brother in question is worthy of the reward of “Bronzing”
Bronzing involves the battle brother’s power armour being upgraded with Mark IV style greaves which are coated in bronze battle paint.
The recipient of bronzed armour is after that earmarked for promotion to the Company Command Squad or to the rank of Sergeant should the positions become available.

KNIGHT GUARDIANS

5 Veterans are chosen to make up the Knight Guardians. These are specially armoured in ornate terminator armour and wield master crafted weapons including Swords, Thunder Hammers, Power Staves and Halberds as well as Assault Cannons, Storm Bolters, Heavy Flamers…
They are the personal guard of the Chapter Master and are always close to him.
Although the Chapter Master rarely leaves his Command Fleet the rare occasions that he does he is surrounded by the Knight Guardians at the centre of his Honour Guard.


The Chapter is only 500 years old. Its first Chapter Master Beridius died in combat after 200 years and Exthelion, the original First Captain was promoted in his place.

Being a fleet based chapter the Knights spread themselves out as far as they can, responding to as many calls for aid as they can.
