Blade Champion[2]

Blade Champions are Adeptus Custodes who seek out enemy leaders, to behead with their giant two handed Vaultswords.[1]

Description

They sit below Shield-Captains in rank and serve as the second-in-command in Shield Companies or as leaders of smaller Adeptus Custodes forces[1]. When not in battle, the Blade Champions practice the Custodes' Martial Ka'tah in the Imperial Palace's Colosseia Auris. Some of these fighting styles are only specifically used by the Champions' order.[2]

Known Blade Champion Ka'tah Fighting Styles

  • Behemor - Its clinical strikes, prevent even the toughest hide or armored hull to withstand the Champions' blows.[2]
  • Hurricanis - It lets the Champions carve their way through enemy ranks in a blur of blade and blood.[2]
  • Victus - Its execution techniques have been used by Champions to claim the lives of countless tyrants and warlords.[2]
