	Praetors were commanders second only to their [[Primarch]]s in skill, battle prowess, and intellect.

	Due to their high rank, they obviously got to wear the really good shit: [[Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Saturnine Pattern Terminator Armour]] and [[Artificer Armour]]. Whilst all Praetors came standard-issue with the [[Power Weapon#Paragon Blade\|Paragon Blade]], they could also be armed with a bunch of gnarly weapons such as [[Power Weapon#Relic Blade\|Relic Blades]], [[Power Weapons#Power Spear\|Power Spears]], [[Power Weapons#Power Lance\|Power Lances]], [[Power Weapons#Power Halberd\|Power Halberds]], [[Thunder Hammer]]s, [[Power Fist]]s, [[Chain Weapon#Chain Spear\|Chain Spears]], [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword\|Heavy Chainswords]], [[Chain Weapon#Chainscythe\|Chainscythes]], [[Chain Weapon#Chain Glaive\|Chainglaives]], [[Chain Weapon#Frost Blade\|Frost Blades]], [[Chain Weapon#Terranic Greatsword\|Terranic Greatswords]], [[Force Weapons#Force Axe\|Force Axes]] (If they're a [[Psyker]]) and [[Power Weapons#Power Scythes\|Power Scythes]], to name just the CQC weapons. For ranged weaponry, they had access to an equally diverse range of the lead/energy rainbow; [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Plasma Pistol]]s, [[Combi-Volkite]]s, [[Combi-Bolter]]s, [[Combi-Grenade Launcher]]s, [[Combi-Flamer]]s, [[Combi-Melta]]s, [[Volkite Charger]]s, [[Volkite Serpenta]]s, [[Digital Weapons]], [[Astartes Boltgun]]s, archaeotech pistols, and the elusive [[Disintegration Combi-Gun]] and [[Disintegration Pistol]].

	Praetors can take either Cataphractii or Tartaros Terminator armor, both of which give the Praetor an additional wound, Inexorable and Bulky (2). In addition, both Terminator Praetors come with Power Weapons and Combi-Bolters as standard, but don't come with the basic Iron Halo any more, which means the Tartaros version is stuck with a 5++. The upgrade (technically they're different units) is strangely priced, as the cost for the Cataphractii is charging only for the power weapon, meaning the -1"M, +1 W and Heavy type are kinda seen as a sidegrade, while the Combi-Bolter is free. Even more interesting for the Tartaros version, which apparently compensates for the lower invulnerable save by being cheaper than the power-armoured Praetor. Thus, taking a Terminator Praetor is weirdly a good budget option, as you can spend less on kitting them out.

	You have a few ways of dealing with Praetor duels; in addition to S8 AP2 ID at I1 or trying to do enough AP2 wounds with Paragon Blade at initiative, you can also try doing enough S8 wounds at initiative. It is possible with Legion-specific traits/wargear to get to S8 if you ignore AP, and the opponent will always have a 1/6 chance of failing his armour save regardless of his Invulnerable save or how many wounds he has. As you have to wound 6 times like with the Paragon Blade anyway, the tradeoff boils down to spamming S8 hits being unaffected by your opponent's Invulnerable save/wound count, while the Paragon Blade is not worried about Battle-hardened.

	A few of the Legions have also been given unique Praetor upgrades this edition, which add to their already high points cost but can be worth taking depending on your list.

	An Iron Warriors Praetor can spend 20 points to become a Warsmith. Not only does this provide a Servo-Arm and Cortex Controller, but it also gives them Master of the Automata and Battlesmith (3+) to help keep them alive. All in all, this lets your Praetor participate in assisting with Brethren of Iron just as effectively as any Forge Lord and can help if you're taking charge of any heavily mechanised armies (read: Hammer of Olympia) where the repairs would be welcome.

	~~Before~~ there was [[Chapter Master]]s, hell, before Chapters ~~was~~ even considered a thing by [[Roboute Guilliman\|Big Boy G]], there was the Praetor~~, which was~~ a ~~high rank of~~ Space Marine ~~used~~ during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] ~~era for use in the Legiones Astartes~~, and functioned as the Legion's equivalent of a Chapter Master.		In the golden age of the Imperium, before there was such a thing as a [[Chapter Master]], hell, before Chapters were even considered a thing by [[Roboute Guilliman\|Big Boy G]], there was the Praetor. Praetors were one of the highest ranks a Space Marine could reach in the Legiones Astartes during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]], and functioned as the Legion's equivalent of a Chapter Master.

	==Overview==		==Overview==
	Praetors were commanders second only to their [[Primarch]]s in skill, battle prowess, and intellect ~~in their respective Legions~~, ~~consisting of~~ First Captains, Chapter Masters, Lord Commanders, ~~Great~~ Khans, Warsmiths, and other titles. ~~Ergo, their high rank means that they~~ were effectively the second ~~guy~~ in ~~charge in case~~ the Legion's Primarch ~~was~~ [[Lion El'~~Johnson~~\|knocked out]] or [[Ferrus Manus\|~~suffered~~]] [[Konrad Curze\|critical]] [[Sanguinius\|existence]] [[Horus Lupercal\|failure.]] ~~They most commonly commanded Chapters in their Legions.~~		Praetors were commanders second only to their [[Primarch]]s in skill, battle prowess, and intellect. They most commonly commanded Chapter-size formations or the equivalent thereof, and the exact title they bore varied by Legion: there were First Captains, Chapter Masters, Lord Commanders, Noyan-Khans, Warsmiths, and other titles. The most senior praetors were effectively the second-in-command of the Legion should their Primarch be [[Lion El'Jonson\|knocked out]] or [[Ferrus Manus\|suffer]] [[Konrad Curze\|critical]] [[Sanguinius\|existence]] [[Horus Lupercal\|failure.]]

	Due to their high rank, they obviously ~~wore~~ really ~~expensive~~ shit~~. This includes~~ [[Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Saturnine Pattern Terminator Armour]] and [[Artificer Armour]]. Whilst all Praetors ~~come~~ standard-issue with the [[Power Weapon#Paragon Blade\|Paragon Blade]], they ~~are~~ also armed with a bunch of gnarly weapons such as a [[Power Weapon#Relic Blade\|Relic ~~Blade~~]], [[Power Weapons#Power Spear\|Power ~~Spear~~]], [[Power Weapons#Power Lance\|Power ~~Lance~~]], [[Power Weapons#Power Halberd\|Power ~~Halberd]], [[Power Weapons#Power Halberd\|Power Halberd~~]], [[Thunder Hammer]], [[Power Fist]], [[Chain Weapon#Chain Spear\|Chain ~~Spear~~]], [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword\|Heavy ~~Chainsword~~]], [[Chain Weapon#Chainscythe\|~~Chainscythe~~]], [[Chain Weapon#Chain Glaive\|~~Chain Glaive~~]], [[Chain Weapon#Frost Blade\|Frost ~~Blade~~]], [[Chain Weapon#Terranic Greatsword\|Terranic ~~Greatsword~~]], [[Force Weapons#Force Axe\|Force ~~Axe~~]] (If they're a [[Psyker]]) and [[Power Weapons#Power Scythes\|Power Scythes]] to name just the CQC weapons. For ~~range~~, they ~~can be armed with~~ an equally diverse range of the lead rainbow; [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Plasma Pistol]]s, [[Combi-Volkite]]s, [[Combi-Bolter]]s, [[Combi-Grenade Launcher]]s, [[Combi-Flamer]]s, [[Combi-Melta]]s, [[Volkite Charger]]s, [[Volkite Serpenta]]s, [[Digital Weapons]], [[Astartes Boltgun]]s, and the ~~much~~ elusive [[Disintegration Combi-Gun]] and [[Disintegration Pistol]].		Due to their high rank, they obviously got to wear the really good shit: [[Tartaros Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour]], [[Saturnine Pattern Terminator Armour]] and [[Artificer Armour]]. Whilst all Praetors came standard-issue with the [[Power Weapon#Paragon Blade\|Paragon Blade]], they could also be armed with a bunch of gnarly weapons such as [[Power Weapon#Relic Blade\|Relic Blades]], [[Power Weapons#Power Spear\|Power Spears]], [[Power Weapons#Power Lance\|Power Lances]], [[Power Weapons#Power Halberd\|Power Halberds]], [[Thunder Hammer]]s, [[Power Fist]]s, [[Chain Weapon#Chain Spear\|Chain Spears]], [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword\|Heavy Chainswords]], [[Chain Weapon#Chainscythe\|Chainscythes]], [[Chain Weapon#Chain Glaive\|Chainglaives]], [[Chain Weapon#Frost Blade\|Frost Blades]], [[Chain Weapon#Terranic Greatsword\|Terranic Greatswords]], [[Force Weapons#Force Axe\|Force Axes]] (If they're a [[Psyker]]) and [[Power Weapons#Power Scythes\|Power Scythes]], to name just the CQC weapons. For ranged weaponry, they had access to an equally diverse range of the lead/energy rainbow; [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Plasma Pistol]]s, [[Combi-Volkite]]s, [[Combi-Bolter]]s, [[Combi-Grenade Launcher]]s, [[Combi-Flamer]]s, [[Combi-Melta]]s, [[Volkite Charger]]s, [[Volkite Serpenta]]s, [[Digital Weapons]], [[Astartes Boltgun]]s, archaeotech pistols, and the elusive [[Disintegration Combi-Gun]] and [[Disintegration Pistol]].

	These guys are the [[Chapter Master]]s of the pre-Heresy and Heresy eras. He packs Master of the Legion, so he'll unlock Rites of War and command squads while rolling twice on the warlord chart, but if all you wanted was MotL you'd take a cheap Delegatus instead. The real reason you'll take this guy is if you want a close-combat monster, and if you ''do'' want a monster, accept no substitutes; upgrades for Consuls quickly get into Praetor points levels for a pale shadow of Praetor effectiveness. The only real exception is if your Legion offers a special character who's better at the job.		These guys are the [[Chapter Master]]s of the pre-Heresy and Heresy eras.
