==Specialist Troops== ===Tomb Wardens=== [[File:Tomb Warden Sigil.png|80px|thumb]] Tomb Wardens serve as the second-in-commands to the Cardinals of the Entombed. They watch over the Armory of the chapter, including the Dreadnoughts, the infantry's armour and weapons, the drop pods, and the ships of the fleet. In addition to these duties, the Tomb Wardens are tasked with the retrieval and laying to rest of the remains of dead marines. Tomb Wardens and their acolytes scour the battlefield after every engagement, recovering the dead and gathering them together. The Tomb Warden himself leads the Ritual of the Last Rite, in which the name and deeds of every dead soldier are recited and inscribed upon the soldier's bones. The Wardens maintain the great Catacomb, and oversee the great banks of Mausolea within its depths. Their role as guardians of the dead grant them great significance among the Entombed, and though the Cardinals are superior, the Tomb Wardens are holier by far. Tomb Wardens hold close ties to the Mechanicum and the Cult of Mars, leading other legions, chiefly the War Scribes, to question whether the Entombed serve Terra or Mars first. ===Undertakers=== [[File:Undertaker Sigil.png|80px|thumb]] Undertakers are skilled Apothecaries. They are not as skilled in battlefield medicine as the Apothecaries of the Eternal Zealots, nor as skilled at research as those of the Life Bringers. The Undertakers of the Entombed focus their training on the recovery and storage of geneseed. The Genestock of the Entombed is so fragile that even the slightest mistake can irreparably damage it. The dwindling genebanks of the Catacomb are watched over with immeasurable caution. Undertakers are also masters of cybernetic prosthetics, navigating the nebulous dangers of immunorejection with care and uncharacteristic subtlety. As battlefield commanders, the Undertakers are uncreative, and inflexible, following their orders without question or addition. ===Bishops=== Bishops serve the Cardinals directly, serving on their war council and leading the Undertakers. Bishops are trained in tactics and leadership, for that is their primary role. The Cardinals decide what should be done, and where, but it is the Bishops who ultimately determine how. Bishops lead many rituals, invoking litanies before (and during) battle, leading hymns of victory, and leading the rites on certain commemoration days, such as the anniversary of Golgothos' discovery. As a secondary duty, Bishops are charged with watching over the Librarians of their company. Each Bishop guards his Librarians personally, watching them for any signs of sorcery. If the Librarians falter, they are stripped of their humanity and turned into Servo-skulls, who serve the Bishops as a shameful reminder of their failures.
