Changes

As each Company in a Space Marine Chapter has ten Captains, so do the 10 Squads below him have their own Sergeant. A Sergeant will normally be a veteran of hundreds of battles, truly forged in the fires of war, and will lead his squad with an icy calm through the most dangerous of scenarios and emerge victorious. To become a Sergeant, a [[Space Marine ]] has to prove himself capable of keeping his nerves through the toughest of warzones, as well as being a formidable fighter. He has to be willing to make difficult decisions based on his instincts, and so only a few Space Marines have the required level of ability to take on this role.

However, being a Sergeant will likely not come on its own to a Space Marine. Most Sergeants quickly go on to gain [[Crux Terminatus|Terminator Honours]], the [[Iron Halo]], or a variety of extra awards based on their squad's performance. This can lead the most veteran Sergeants to acquiring a large range of different accomplishmentsand wargears, such as Veteran Sergeant Vandar (of the [[Ultramarines|Ultramarines Chapter]]), youngest ever recipient of the Iron Halo.

Most Sergeants take to the field with different weapons from their squadmates, such as the Typical Sergeant of a Tactical Squad wielding a chainsword and bolt pistol status symbol they often wield close combat weapons, specially [[Chainsword]]s or [[Power Sword]]s, probably as opposed means to better direct the bolter. However, more accomplished Sergeants can lay their hands on far more deadly weaponry than this, such as Power Swords, Plasma Pistols or Power Fistssquad they lead.
