Editing Intercessor (section)

== Intercessors (standard) ==

The standard flavor of Intercessors are the most well rounded. Their jack-of-all-trades role is reflected by their armament, that being the [[Bolt Rifle|Cawl-pattern Bolt Rifle]] (basically the Bolter on steroids), a [[Bolt Pistol]], a [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Astartes Combat Knife|combat knife]] for melee, and [[Grenades & Explosives#Frag Grenade|frag]] and [[Grenades & Explosives#Krak Grenade|krak grenades]]. Intercessors are able to swap their Bolt Rifles for an Auto Bolt Rifle, which is basically the LMG of Bolters or a Stalker Bolt Rifle, a [[Awesome|Bolt Sniper Rifle]]. Additionally, much as the Marinelets may take a special/heavy weapon, one in five may take an [[Combi-Grenade Launcher|Auxiliary Grenade Launcher]] which, although a squad can have up to two, [[Fail|doesn't let a unit throw more than one grenade per turn]] [[RAW]]. Luckily, this was ''finally'' fixed in 9th and even given a boost, as the Auxiliary Launcher is now an ''Astartes Grenade Launcher'' and simply an additional weapon [[Awesome|(which means they can fire it with their main gun)]]. All of them wear the standard-issue [[Mark X: Tacticus Pattern Armour]].

Over the course of 8th edition, Intercessor Sgts gradually received the option to take chainswords, power weapons (sans Axes), and/or hand flamers. Apparently Intercessor sergeants hid the keys to the chapter armory from all of the Primaris HQ's.
