Overview
Numbering 100 of the most skilled warriors of the Chapter, the 1st Company is trained in the arts of fighting in modern or ancient patterns of Power Armour, and are experts in all manner of weaponry. The majority of their warriors don Tactical Dreadnought Armour, becoming Terminator Squads, while others form Vanguard Veteran or Sternguard Veteran Squads. Sometimes, individual veterans of the 1st are chosen to join the ranks of the Victrix Guard, while other Primaris Space Marine Veterans may take to the field clad in Phobos Armour to launch stealth operations. The 1st Company benefits from a wealth of vehicles from the Chapter's fleet of Land Raiders and Repulsors to squadrons of Stormraven Gunships and several Dreadnoughts.[1]
Additionally, members of the 1st are often attached to other Battle and Reserve Companies all over the Galaxy, lending their strategic and martial skill to support and inspire their less skilled Battle-Brothers.[1]
