Each member of an Intercessor Squad carries some variant of a [[bolt rifle]], the standard version of which has a longer range and greater armour penetration than a [[bolter]]. Additionally, each Intercessor also bears a [[bolt pistol]] and frag and [[krak grenade]]s. This load-out allows Intercessor Squads to dominate any firefight, laying down punishing fire to eliminate all but the most resilient of foes. But Intercessor Squads are not purely ranged specialists. They are capable of punching clean through walls, enduring the heat of raging infernos, and ripping apart [[xenos]] horrors with their gauntleted hands.{{Fn|2}}

Intercessors aimed towards close combat are known as '''Assault Intercessors'''.{{Fn|3}} These are among the most common type of [[Close Support Squad]] within a modern Chapter.{{Fn|7}} They are equipped with [[Chainsword]]s and [[Heavy Bolt Pistol]]s, while the commanding [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] is equipped with a [[Power Sword]], [[Power Fist]], [[Thunder Hammer]] and a [[Plasma Pistol]] or [[Hand Flamer]].

Those Intercessors who wear [[Gravis Pattern Power Armour]] are known as '''Heavy Intercessors'''. These are used to secure ground, blunt enemy counter-attacks, and are immovable in the defense.{{Fn|7}} They are equipped with either [[Executor Bolt Rifle]]s, [[Executor Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Heavy Bolt Rifle]]s, [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Hellstorm Bolt Rifle]]s, or [[Hellstorm Heavy Bolter]]s.{{Fn|6}}

Veteran Intercessors sometimes are represented in a Chapter's [[1st Company]]. Veteran Intercessors are those Battle-Brothers who have wrought glories throughout their career, while others are [[Firstborn]] who have since crossed the [[Rubicon Primaris]].{{Fn|7a}}
