''"I'd sooner shave my beard than let this banner fall! Now onward, my brothers! For the League of Norgyr!" - Thane Oskar, during a battle on Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
If the Squat Warlord would be the equivalent of a Space Marine Chapter Master, then the Thane would be one to a Space Marine Captain. Although not as lethal as Warlords, Thanes are tough and hardy military leaders that usually lead a single or more detachments of warriors. For every Warlord of a Squat Hold, there are dozens of Thanes that answer to him directly. Thanes are not only leaders, but also standard bearers. Usually mounting said banners on the back of their armors so to have both arms free to wield their weapons, the presence of a Thane boosts the resolve of the Squats around him and will never let the banner he possesses to fall. Thanes that proved to be particularly strong in both mind and body, to be exceptionally cunning and courageous, may have a chance to become the next Warlord.
