Space Marine Chaplains are uncompromising in their wrath, yet among the Black Templars, a Chapter already famed for its righteous fury, a unique kind of zeal is required to truly stand out. Those Chaplains who find their calling bellowing sermons from the very front lines, particularly those with a special predilection for crushing skulls in close combat, earn the revered rank of Execrator. These figures are the embodiment of righteous rage, often serving as the spearhead of a Black Templars assault.
It is the divine duty of an Execrator to ensure the Black Templars’ holy vows are fulfilled in battle, inspiring their comrades through their own formidable feats of martial prowess. They are often the first to breach enemy lines and the last to fall, striking terror into their foes with the sheer brutality of their charges and spurring their allies to join them in the ensuing melee. This leadership is encapsulated in their Remorseless Persecution ability, which can drive the unit they lead into a berserk fury, allowing them to make a Charge move even after they Advance. Imagine a meticulously equipped squad of Sword Brethren transformed into a terrifying, blade-and-hammer-wielding cruise missile, smashing into the enemy.
The Execrator is not merely an inspirational figure; his own fighting skills are exceptional. Should a commander opt to forgo the pyre pistol, this zealous warrior can wield a master-crafted power sword alongside his crozius, allowing him to unleash a torrent of eight two-Damage attacks every time he fights. This Space Marine miniature is true to the Black Templars’ fanatical devotion and their unwavering commitment to close-quarters annihilation.
