'''Warmaster''' is a special military rank of the [[Imperium]] and the [[Imperial Guard]]. Historically, ''Warmaster'' was the title bestowed upon the most favoured [[Primarch]], [[Horus]] of the [[Luna Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion]], by the [[Emperor]]. The granting of this title was to recognise that Horus was to act as the Emperor's proxy during the latter part of the [[Great Crusade]]. Eventually, the Luna Wolves were renamed the [[Sons of Horus]] to better reflect the prestige of the Warmaster's title.<sup>4</sup> Now, it stands as the one of the most powerful ranks in the [[Imperial Guard]], second only to the rank of Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard.<sup>3</sup>
