:Cold-blooded murderers who fought with a suicidal fervour.{{Fn|5}}
;MortificatorMortification
:These specialized [[Techmarine]]s were responsible for their Legion's [[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|1c}}
::{{Main|Consul-Opsequiari}}
:A rank of disciplinary officer.
;Overseer
:They were charged with ensuring the common troopers of the [[Imperial Army]] functioned acceptably alongside the [[Space Marine Legion]]s, during battles. At these times, the Overseers were able to take three of an Imperial Army's [[Solar Auxilia]] [[Lasrifle Section]]s or [[Imperialis Militia]] [[Infantry Squad]]s as part of their personal retinue. Though it was far from the most far glorious assignment, the Overseers' work was appreciated by depleted Legion forces who had to rely on the Imperial Army to bolster their shattered battle lines. Both the [[Loyalist Legion|Loyalist]] and [[Traitor Legion]]s used Overseers, during the [[Horus Heresy]] but they went about commanding their Imperial Army troopers differently. Loyalist Overseers usually sought to command their troopers through respect and led from the front with ornate [[power maul]]s. They also relied on using stirring rhetoric and wearing highly decorated [[power armor]] to inspire their charges. Traitor Overseers, though, commanded their troopers by using fear instead.{{Fn|12}}
