Editing Praetor (Space Marine) (section)

==Overview==
Praetors were commanders second only to their [[Primarch]]s in skill, battle prowess, and intellect. They most commonly commanded Chapter-size formations or the equivalent thereof, and the exact title they bore varied by Legion: there were First Captains, Chapter Masters, Lord Commanders, Noyan-Khans, Warsmiths, and other titles. The most senior praetors were effectively the second-in-command of the Legion should their Primarch be [[Lion El'Jonson|knocked out]] or [[Ferrus Manus|suffer]] [[Konrad Curze|critical]] [[Sanguinius|existence]] [[Horus Lupercal|failure.]]

Due to their high rank, they obviously got to wear the really good shit: [[Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Saturnine Pattern Terminator Armour]] and [[Artificer Armour]]. Whilst all Praetors came standard-issue with the [[Power Weapon#Paragon Blade|Paragon Blade]], they could also be armed with a bunch of gnarly weapons such as [[Power Weapon#Relic Blade|Relic Blades]], [[Power Weapons#Power Spear|Power Spears]], [[Power Weapons#Power Lance|Power Lances]], [[Power Weapons#Power Halberd|Power Halberds]], [[Thunder Hammer]]s, [[Power Fist]]s, [[Chain Weapon#Chain Spear|Chain Spears]], [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword|Heavy Chainswords]], [[Chain Weapon#Chainscythe|Chainscythes]], [[Chain Weapon#Chain Glaive|Chainglaives]], [[Chain Weapon#Frost Blade|Frost Blades]], [[Chain Weapon#Terranic Greatsword|Terranic Greatswords]], [[Force Weapons#Force Axe|Force Axes]] (If they're a [[Psyker]]) and [[Power Weapons#Power Scythes|Power Scythes]], to name just the CQC weapons. For ranged weaponry, they had access to an equally diverse range of the lead/energy rainbow; [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Plasma Pistol]]s, [[Combi-Volkite]]s, [[Combi-Bolter]]s, [[Combi-Grenade Launcher]]s, [[Combi-Flamer]]s, [[Combi-Melta]]s, [[Volkite Charger]]s, [[Volkite Serpenta]]s, [[Digital Weapons]], [[Astartes Boltgun]]s, archaeotech pistols, and the elusive [[Disintegration Combi-Gun]] and [[Disintegration Pistol]].
