Black Templar Initiate
Crusader Squads are the backbone of any Black Templars formation with a Fighting Company and consist of varying levels of Initiates, and Neophytes. The majority of the Chapter's Battle-Brothers are organized into these squads. Many are led by Sword Brethren - veterans who deeds and example inspire Initiates to even greater acts of courage. The squads are primarily armed with the holy Bolter, though given the Black Templars' preference for close combat, many choose to carry Chainswords and other melee weapons.[1]
