The Apothecary fields as a healer, not a heavy hitter. Its default power armour comes as standard, and it may add a boltgun or bolt pistol and frag or krak grenades. Its true armament is the medical gear it carries — the narthecium and reductor that recover the fallen and their gene-seed — with a signum to coordinate the line. It takes no heavy or special weapons; keeping the wings alive is the whole of its work.

The Captain carries the widest arsenal in the strike force. Over its standard armour it may take the Gravis or Terminator marks, a boltgun, bolt or plasma pistol, and a power sword, power fist or thunder hammer; the relic Sword of Secrets is its alone. It may bear an iron halo and the Inner Circle Robes, and — the wing-choice at the heart of the House — the Terminator mark to anchor the Deathwing hold or a war-bike to lead the Ravenwing race.

The Centurion fights in its integral warsuit, part of the chassis and never removed. Its twin heavy weapons — heavy bolter, multi-melta or lascannon — are warsuit-scoped, fitted to the frame rather than hand-carried, and the Assault lean swaps them for integral siege drills. It is a self-contained weapons-platform: what it fields is bolted to it, not drawn from the racks.

The Chaplain's melee is restricted to the crozius arcanum, the badge of its office and its weapon both. Over standard armour it may add a bolt or plasma pistol, grenades and an iron halo. It too may choose a wing — the Terminator mark to hold with the Deathwing, or a war-bike to ride with the Ravenwing — carrying its judgement to whichever war the strike force fights.

The Deathwing Terminator fights on the Terminator mark, integral to its anvil body and never set aside. Its ranged arm is the storm bolter or the relic Lion's Roar combi alone. Its close-combat arsenal — power fist, chainfist, thunder hammer and lightning claws — is Terminator-scoped, as is the storm shield it may raise and the teleport homer that guides its brothers down. Everything it carries is built to hold ground and end what closes on it.

The Dreadnought's armament is walker-scoped — the twin mount and the Dreadnought fist are part of the sarcophagus chassis, not drawn from the shared racks. Its heavy weapon is a heavy bolter, multi-melta or lascannon, fitted to the frame. The interred hero fights with what it was entombed with, and needs nothing more.

The Librarian's melee is the Force weapon and the Force weapon alone — the psyker's blade, no other close-combat arm permitted. Over standard armour it may add a bolt or plasma pistol, grenades and an iron halo, and it may take the Terminator mark to stand within a Deathwing anvil. Its power is its mind; its wargear only frames it.

The Lieutenant arms almost as broadly as its Captain. Over standard armour it may take the Gravis or Terminator marks, a boltgun, bolt or plasma pistol, a power sword or power fist, grenades and an iron halo. Like its master it faces the wing-choice: take the Terminator mark to lead the Deathwing, or a war-bike to lead the Ravenwing.

The Marine carries the broadest common arsenal in the strike force. Over standard armour it may take the Gravis or Terminator marks; from the racks a boltgun, carbine or storm bolter, a bolt or plasma pistol, the full range of special and heavy weapons, and a chainsword, power sword or power fist. Heavy weapons are Devastator-spec, needing the Gravis mark or a set position. The line body is the un-winged backbone the two wings form up from.

The Mounted Marine rides always — the war-bike is integral to the Ravenwing line, never dismounted. Over standard armour it may take a storm bolter, boltgun, bolt or plasma pistol, and a chainsword, power sword or combat knife, with frag grenades. It carries no heavy weapons: the bike-mounted twin bolters and a blade are the whole of its arsenal.

The Ravenwing Black Knight rides always — the war-bike is integral to its tier, never dismounted. Over standard armour it may take a plasma pistol, storm bolter or power sword, or bear the relic Raven Sword; the plasma talon is modelled as the twin plasma pistol, the corvus hammer as a rending power weapon. An iron halo and the Sable Banner complete a loadout built for the fastest, deadliest edge of the hunt.

The Redemptor's armament is walker-scoped — the macro plasma or gatling arm, the Redemptor fist and the chassis fragstorm launcher are all part of the frame, not drawn from the shared racks. It fields a plasma cannon, heavy bolter or multi-melta as its main gun, everything bolted to the sarcophagus. What it carries, it was built around.

The Scout is lightly kitted — armour restricted to carapace and nothing heavier. It may take a boltgun, bolt carbine or astartes shotgun, and among the special weapons only the bolt sniper rifle, the marksman's pick. A bolt pistol, combat knife or chainsword and frag grenades complete a loadout built for a fighter who works ahead of the line, not in the thick of it.

The Techmarine arms for the work its craft knows best. Over standard armour it may take a boltgun or bolt pistol, and among the special weapons only the meltagun and grav-gun the artificer favours. A power fist stands in for the crushing grip of a servo-arm, and a signum coordinates its fire. Grenades round out a loadout built to tend and to break machines alike.
