	A '''Forge Master''' is a [[Techmarine]] equivalent of the [[Deathwatch]].

A Forge Master is commonly a close confidante of the Watch Commander and acts as a central cog in the functioning of the whole Watch Fortress and its associated Kill-teams.

	To achieve such heights, the Techmarine must have demonstrated tremendous skill in the arts of the forge as well as the arts of war. Not all Techmarines show a great aptitude with alien technology; indeed, [[Extra Heresy\|many find it repugnant in the extreme.]] This is seen as no barrier to them becoming a Forge Master in its own right; many Forge Masters are trenchant conservatives that hate all things xenos. However, a Forge Master must grasp the tainted paths of alien technology on some level so that they can ultimately dispose of malevolence successfully.

	He must decide whether some element of the alien science he sees may be blessed by the [[Omnissiah]] despite its unfamiliar guise, or whether the foul taint of the xenos is so perniciously woven into an artifact's very fabric that it must be destroyed. The slow, often painstaking process of examination can take years of effort to determine the fate of a single artifact and its less than-certain results can be the subject of [[Skub\|great arguments between individual Forge Masters.]] Over the millennia several pieces of "rediscovered" technology derived from the study of xenotech have been incorporated into Deathwatch wargear and even into the munitions of the Imperium as a whole. However, some Forge Masters always remain skeptical and will only ever grudgingly accept any form of xenotech into their armories. More radical (Hint: borderline heretical) Forge Masters are prepared to exploit new ideas without waiting for the results of a full investigation, incorporating xenotech into their own creations with little concern for the fears of others.
