Unnamed Remembrancer attached to the X Legion, on the battle tactics of the Crusaders


Once the hard-charging armoured spearhead of the Great Crusade, the Crusaders Chapter of the 41st millennium is a pale shadow of the glory they once had, still operating as a fast, mobile strikeforce to attack any who would threaten the Emperor’s domain. They are the template for the mobile chapter doctrine named after them; their systems, traditions, and organisation adopted and modified by successors from many other Legions. The chapter today is an aggressive and bold force that retains the unstoppable drive of their Primarch to continue the Great Crusade and avenge the treacheries committed by the Traitor Legions.
