Editing Children of Armok (section)

==Legion Equipment==
In terms of access to wargear and vehicles, the XIIIth Legion seem to have been formidably equipped. Again, true estimates are difficult to arrive at, but most pictorial and second party reports show the XIIIth Legion as possessing extensive access to the most modern forms of Legiones Astartes equipment, not limited to new power armour, the Sicaran Battle Tank and their sub-types as well as extensive stocks of plasma and melta weaponry, and specialised munitions unknown outside the Legion. 

The Children of Armok have been observed to make use of all weapons available to them, seeming to hold a firm belief in adapting to changing circumstances, and as such seem to have no predisposition to any one weapon. With vehicles and equipment however, the Children are pragmatic; they may have something, but this does not mean they will use it. 
For example, the significant number of Sicaran Battle Tanks they possess only get used when the situation requires that, which given the XIIIth Legion's preferred methods of combat, means that this isn't often.
 
They do however have a predisposition to specific patterns of weapons and equipment. The Children use a custom pattern Bolter: the Grizwold-pattern Bolter.
The magazine lies flat along the top of the Bolter, with the whole weapon coming together into a lightweight bullpup system, designed to be compact and versatile. This is believed to have been developed for urban combat specifically, as it is well suited to their city-fighting predisposition, and the close confines that terrain offers.
It has been observed to be fitted with suppressed extended barrels, seem to often use Metal Storm and Stalker silent rounds, are fitted with combat sights, and have been observed to also take under-slung attached weapons. 

The Children also make extensive use of Flash grenades, that emit a blinding set of flashes that disable and distract foes, as well as incapacitating gas grenades (like tear gas, but also mustard gas if necessary). 
Demolition charges are also common, which they normally have at least one marine from a squad carry on a mission.

In addition to the demolition charges, the Children use meltabombs, and breaching/directional charges for ambushes and for creating entrances into buildings where the enemy won't be guarding - especially useful in the brutal close quarters combat of city fighting, where every door and window can become a deadly killzone.

Each 'Body' division of the Children seems to have it's own individual armoury, giving them access to all the equipment they may need for any eventuality, suitable to their division size.

Group 13 has a large stockpile of non-imperial weaponry on top of their normal armoury, including various patterns of stubbers, autoweapons, xenos weaponry, and even some chemical weaponry. 
These non standard weapons are only used when deemed necessary, but also for training, as Group 13's deep infiltration missions often make resupply impossible, forcing the Group 13 marines to fight using whatever they can get their hands on. Also, when on black flag operations, they usually use non-imperial weapons, unless using imperial weapons serves a purpose.

All Children of Armok also go through extensive training in hand-to-hand fighting, deemed relevant due to the fact the Children often operate in close quarters, and often in the case of insurgencies, with limited supplies. 
Thus they are taught to use hand to hand fighting, as well as close combat using improvised and purpose-built weapons.
Their hand-to-hand fighting technique is utterly pragmatic, with a focus on disabling or killing the opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible. It also makes extensive use of the environment, and balance, often using a free hand to pull an enemy of balance, making it difficult for them to mount a proper defense or counter-attack. 
This technique is taught to the Kokolny and any of the Children's non-astartes agents for protection.
