''If it's broke, don't talk about it.''

-Cataphract Motto


The Silver Cataphracts prefer ranged weaponry above all else. Some Squad Sergeants of the Legion prefer to forgo the usual armament of melee weaponry, choosing instead to use a simple bolter. The Captains almost never engage their foes in pitted close combat either, focusing all their attention on leading and directing the Marines under their charge. Huge vox-modules can be seen attached to each Captain, along with a vast array of grenades and pistols. The pistols are of many kinds and types, each suited to different foes commonly encountered. Specialized auto-stubbers for the unamored, plasma pistols for heavy foes, and Inferno pistols for the truly remarkable opponents. 

It is the responsibility of the individual Marine to keep his equipment maintained. Some are even able to make small modifications to it with a supervision of a Techmarine. Many have created small improvements, usually pertaining to individual's preferences. It was encouraged by Legionary Officers to allow their soldiers to loot anything they desired from vanquished foes. This was done to bolster the array of arms to bear, as well as lessen logistical strain on the Legion as whole. It is common for Silver Cataphracts successor Chapters to loot equipment from the battlefield, in accordance to their old Legionary traditions. 

This usually leads to minor amounts of xeno-tech to be added to the armoury, which is only tolerated because normally the Cataphracts can be trusted to always hand them over if the Inquisition desires so. As long as this unspoken understanding exists, they are able to keep their spoils. For a time.
