The Drillmaster is the honour taken by a fighter who has carried three doctrine transitions through a single battle — a warrior who has made the sequence his own. Once per battle he may let the strike force shift its Combat Doctrine an extra step along the ladder, even when no fighter carries the Codex Discipline skill that turn; the Drillmaster keeps the tempo alone. But he is a slave to the drill he masters: he may never end a round in the same doctrine he began it, and should the gang be unable to shift, he suffers minus 1 to Cool that round, unsettled by a broken sequence. This title costs 6 experience taken at random, or 12 to choose.

The Master of Macragge is a title borne by a named Chapter Master in the tradition of Calgar, taken by a Captain who has become the living heart of his strike force. While he stands on the field, friendly fighters within 9" re-roll a single failed Nerve or Cool test each round, the presence of the Master steadying the whole phalanx. Such renown draws the enemy's eye: the first foe to take him Out of Action earns its gang bonus reputation, so the Master is forever the marked head the enemy hunts. This title costs 6 experience taken at random, or 12 to choose.

The Sword of Ultramar is the honour of a named duellist-captain in the line of Sicarius and Ventris, a fighter whose blade is the pride of the Chapter. In the first round of any close combat he initiates, he re-rolls all failed Hit rolls — the drilled duellist of Ultramar striking first and truest. But his pride demands the duel: if able, he must always charge the most dangerous enemy fighter within his reach, and he cannot Retreat from a combat he began, even when the sequence would be better served elsewhere. This title may be taken by a Captain or Lieutenant, at a cost of 5 experience taken at random, or 10 to choose.
