Some Torchbearers, though, were assigned to Chapters who, for reasons of doctrine, genetic heritage, or historical circumstance, were expected to resist the gift of the [[Primaris Space Marine|Primaris]]. In such cases these task forces' garrisons of [[Adeptus Custodes]] was typically larger than average, to leave no doubt that they delivered a boon graced by the [[Emperor]] himself.{{Fn|1}}
Once a Torchbearer fleet makes contact with its target Chapter, it enters a stage known as the '''Bonding phase'''. This serves the purpose of integrating the Greyshield reinforcements into the target Chapter and teaching them how to create new Primaris marines, while also assuring the Torchbearers that the Chapter is indeed still loyal to the Imperium.{{Fn|3d}}
A known battle of the Torchbearers is the [[War of the Spider]].{{Fn|2}}
