Marshal (Black Templars)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

This article is about the Black Templars rank; for the Imperial Guard rank, see Marshal (Imperial Guard). |
A Marshal leads a Black Templars Crusade and is second only to the High Marshal. A marshal can be compared to a company commander although the number of Space Marines under his command can vary.[1b]
Black Templars Crusade Fleets are often led by an experienced Marshal – similar in role to the Captains of other Chapters – who oversees the order of battle and commands their troops from the front lines.[9]
Marshals are chosen from the Sword Brethren, the Black Templars elite troops, through ritual combat, with the winner receiving the rank upon approval from the High Marshal. Only once was this approval known to be withheld, during the Gervahrt Repeal of M36.[1a]
