| '''Legion Consuls''' or ''Consul-Opsequiari'' were basically Space Marine Military Police. Several Legions used them, most notably the [[Space Wolves|VI Legion]] before Russ was found and the [[Blood Angels|IX Legion]] after the finding of Sanguinius. These guys worked in the same manner as [[Commissar]]s, in that if anyone disobeyed their orders they got [[*BLAM*|*BLAMMED*]]. But unlike [[Imperial Guard| regular humans]] Space Marines don't need to be "coaxed" into fighting. Instead, the Consuls were there to make sure the marines [[Rip and Tear|did not go the extra mile]]. Two Legions were noted for their use of these guys, the [[World Eaters|XII Legion]] and [[Space Wolves|VI Legion]]. [[Skub|It has been argued]], in the fluff, that the Wolves needed them more than the Hounds since the Wolves got all [[choppy]] when their enemy up and ran. So the 6th Legion was more like [[Night Lords| murderous nut-jobs]] than [[World Eaters| murderous assholes]]. It was said that when the 6th was deployed to the world of Moloria, they ''would'' have killed '''everything''' had it not been for the Legion Consul's who had to [[*BLAM*]] a bunch for trying to kill everyone. Once [[Leman Russ]] was found, it seems these guys were dissolved. Since they were often recruited from veterans of the same Legion they were from, they were probably re-integrated back into the main Legion structure. Surprisingly they are never mentioned after this. Ever. Even when discussing the [[World Eaters]] or their habits.

| Also known as the Ofanim, they were the secret agents of Sanguinius, tasked with quietly killing any Blood Angels that fell to the Red Thirst and silencing any witnesses.

| Back in [[Rogue Trader]] Space Marines had "Field Police". They also had [[Apothecary|Medics]] but that was [[Old School Roleplaying|then]]. In a flash of intelligence, and record keeping, [[Forge World]] has included these guys back into the fluff of the new [[Horus Heresy]] books. But only on one page in ''Inferno''. However, their icon is the same as the old Field Police from RT. Sadly they do not have any rules nor models.
