*'''Champion'''
Chosen from the best blades of the Legion, a Champion bears the honour of their chapter or company in battle, and is armed with a [[Paragon Blade]]. Their sworn task is to seek out the foe’s mightiest warriors, and slay them as an object lesson in the Imperium’s superiority.{{Fn|7f}}
::{{Main|Champion Consul}}
*'''Chaplain'''
These officers carried the official banner of their lords, be they Primarch or otherwise. They often oversaw and undertook the interests of their Legions in key missions, acting most commonly as emissaries{{Fn|7c}}
*[['''Librarian]]'''
For many years the Legions maintained cadres of battle-psykers in their ranks, warriors who fused these esoteric powers with a Space Marine’s superhuman physical power.

*'''Mortificator Consul|Mortificator'''These specialized Techmarines [[Techmarine]]s were responsible for their Legion's Dreadnoughts[[Dreadnought]]s. They showed a near fanatical devotion to their charge of managing the Legion's honored dead, and in some cases went so far as to contravene the tenets of the Cult Mechanicus adopted by the Masters of the Forge. A Mortificator's primary duties included the protection during slumber and rousing during war of the Legion's Dreadnoughts, and when necessary, extends to the controlling of those Dreadnoughts too asleep or too choleric to be considered wholly sane.{{Fn|5b}}
*'''Legion Pathfinder|Pathfinder'''Within the ranks of the Legions at the time of the outbreak of the Horus Heresy there were few remaining [[Scout ]] cohorts, with most companies equipped with scout armour long since reassigned to Reconnaissance Marine detachments. Those few that remain are often veterans of over a century of war in the most hostile terrain known to humanity, and the last Pathfinders are the unchallenged experts on combat in this field.{{Fn|7c}}

::{{Main|Consul-Opsequiari}}

::{{Main|Champion Consul}}
*'''Primus Medicae'''
High officers of the Legion [[Apothecarion]], the primus medicae of a Legion hold the onerous duties of both ensuring the battle-readiness and physical wellbeing of their battle-brothers. This is an authority which none but a Primarch or his chosen deputy can overrule, and such warriors are dedicated to preserving the gene-seed of the Legion from loss or contamination at any cost, even that of their lives{{Fn|7a}}
*'''Primus Nullificator Consul'''
These warriors were pioneers of early attempts by the Legiones Astartes to counter the Daemonic once the spawn of the Warp began to appear in number during the Heresy. They sanctioned research into esoteric artifacts and weapons and openly sought prohibited lore in the hope that it would provide wisdom capable of combating the Daemonic.{{Fn|5c}}
*'''Stormseer'''{{Fn|4}}
A [[librarian]] from the [[White Scars]] Legion.
::{{Main|Stormseer}}
*'''Warmonger'''
