Chaplains feature heavily in a Space Marine's daily life. They also watch over the neophites, newly joined members of the Space Marines, waiting for their implants. They are notoriously strict and fiery but they are also known for sense of duty and responsibility for the brother marines.
Within the Fortress Monastry is the [[Reclusium]], the place where the chapters holy relics and, sometimes, the body of their primarch, is housed. The Chaplains lead their sermons from here, and rouse the Marines in their love of the Emperor. The battlebarges and ships of the chapters fleet also include huge cathedrals in the heart of each ship, allowing the Space Marines to pray while away from the fortress. They always lead the Space Marines in prayer, but a chaplain is not always needed for a marine to pray.
==Armour==
Many chapters follow the Codex Astartes, but some have strayed from it. The Dark Angels use Interrogator Chaplains, forcing the fallen of their forces to confess and repent or to kill them after days of agonising pain.
The [[Iron Hands]] Chaplains are actually their [[TechmarinesTechmarine]] s as well, as their link with technology is so strong.
In the [[Blood Angels]] chapter, the Chaplains lead the [[Death Company]] to their demise. They also care for those who completely succumb to the Red Thirst, keeping them locked on their homeworld, Baal.
Within the [[Space Wolves]], the [[Wolf PriestsPriest]] s fullfil both Chaplain and [[Apothecary]] roles.
