In battle, Blackshields were observed using "Pariah" Wargear, modifying their armour and weapons in ways that would have been considered illegal in the [[Legiones Astartes]]. They were also observed using [[Xenos]] weaponry.{{Fn|1a}}
===Types of Blackshields===
*'''Death Seekers''' - Blackshields consumed with a drive to find death in battle. They were psychologically unstable and could endure tremendous amounts of pain and injury.{{Fn|1a}}
*'''Orphans of War''' - Hardened veterans who are distrustful of both sides of the Heresy.{{Fn|1a}}
*'''Outlanders''' - Have turned to pursuing their own goals, often acting as marauders and pirates.{{Fn|1a}}
*'''Chymeriae''' - Warriors born from a combination of [[gene-seed]] from different [[Legion]]s, often at the demand of a rogue [[Primarch]] or [[Apothecary]]. These warriors were mentally unstable and unpredictable, often suffering from madness and mutations.{{Fn|1a}}
