7/27/2019 Task Force Gloriosus

1/3

Headquarters

Captain Gloriosus (155 points)

Commander of the recently established 'Task Force Gloriosus', headed by one of the few survivors

of the recent debacles in the ongoing war against the Tau and the Necrons. A fearsome warrior who

believes in charging into battle alongside his men, he wears Artificier Armour, and fights with his

trustyRelic Bladein close combat, using his traditionalBoltgun for longer-ranged actions. On thebattlefield, he inherited a set ofDigital Weapons from a previous commander.

Librarian Senex (175 points)

A long-suffering guardian of the ancient lore of the Ultramarines, this ancientEpistolary has

fought probably too many battles; he sometimes finds it difficult to remember where he is actually

fighting, and has flashback to previous glories. As a result, he has been superseded as commander

of late, instead tasked with the simple tactical doctrine of 'charge the enemy'. To this end, he has

been equipped with aJump Pack, and wields a mighty Force Axe.

Chaplain Marcus Likus (125 points)

No-one is quite sure how this former trooper managed to talk his way into the Reclusiam, but giventhat his re-introduction of the formal weekly orgy has proved immensely popular with the troops,

the High Command has elected not to ask too many questions. Has an apparent total lack of

understanding of doctrine, and always seems to be the last man standing in a battle; his

commanders have chosen to believe that this constitutes acute combat skill. He has procured a

Plasma Pistol from somewhere, which he wields along with his Crozius Arcanum, and is never

without hisRosarius. Like his commander, he also carries Digital Weapons, liberated from a long-

forgotten battlefield.

Troops

Tactical Squad Pseudolus (275 points)

Sergeant Pseudolus always seems to survive any battle, without putting himself in any senior

position of responsibility. A scavenger by trade, he has managed to procure a Plasma Pistol for

himself, wielded along with his Chainsword. Seven of his marines are equipped with standard

Bolters; one carries a Meltagun and another has been equipped with a Plasma Cannon.

Traditionally, his squad would be transported into battle in a Rhino; he instead has managed to

find an 'unused'Razorback, with Dual Lascannon mounting. Despite his constant insistence that

he should remain to supervise the heavy weapons specialist in the rear, Captain Gloriousus insists

that he rides along with his men in the transport.

Tactical Squad Hysterium (220 points)

Sergeant Hysterium is Sergeant Pseudolus' longest-suffering friend, and commands the secondTactical Squad. Lacking the skills of his comrade, his squad is equipped far more conventionally;

seven marines armed with Bolters, one carrying a Flamer, and the heavy weapons specialist

carries aHeavy Bolter, which Hysterium swears by. Or at, when it misfires. He carries a standard

Bolt PistolandChainswordcombination. The squad is transported in aRhino, for which Sergeant

Pseudolus found aHunter-Killer Missile andTwin Storm Bolters.

Scout Squad Crassus (95 points)

Sergeant Crassus has been stuck with looking after the 'rooks' for far too many campaigns, and has

about given up on rising through the ranks. Resigned to his status, he has adopted a 'might as well

charge' mentality, and his recruits have a surprisingly short life-expectancy. He and his men are

equipped with Bolt Pistols andCombat Knives, as no-one will trust him with better equipment.Crassus carries Melta Bombs that he has yet to use, despite wearing them on his belt for almost

five years. One day he will throw them; they may even work. The squad wears Camo Cloaks.

Fast Attack

Assault Squad Theopropides (163 points)

Sergeant Theopropides is a recent addition to the force, following the promotion of his predecessor;

he hopes to follow in his footsteps, but is somewhat distressed by the too-martial mentality of the

force under his command. He'll never survive to win promotion that way. His entire squad wears

Jump Packs, and he carries aBolt Pistol,Power Axe, andStorm Shield, along with a quantity ofMelta Bombs. He is on the look-out for a more effective ranged weapon. Four members of his

squad carry Bolt Pistols andChainswords, the remaining marine carries a Flamer, which has the

reputation of not yet having been successfully employed in battle; it carries the bloodstains of many

of the new recruits to the squad.

Bike Squad Philolaches (205 points)

Sergeant Philolaches was formerly second-in-command of Theopropides' Tactical Squad down in

7th Company; he's still getting used to actually having people under his command, and mastering

his bike is proving even more of a difficult task. Nevertheless, he is determined to make good his

new posting. His squad is surprisingly well-equipped; he carries a Bolt PistolandPower Sword,

and his three marines carry a Plasma Gun, Meltagun, andBolter respectively. Permanentlyattached to the squad is anAttack Bike, mounting aMulti-Melta. Rumours that Captain Gloriosus

considers the rest of the squad a 'meat shield' to protect the heavy weapon are thought to be entirely

unfounded, but still make the rest of the men nervous.

Scout Bike Squad Hero (80 points)

Sergeant Hero is a marine who has had much unjustified praise taken of him. Very young and

inexperienced, he was taken under his wing by both Senex and Pseudolus; the latter still keeps an

eye on him. After experiencing heavy casualties during a recent battle, he managed to find some

near-obsolete bikes to equip the survivors; Senex's last act was to assign him to command a new

reconnaissance squad, and so far he has stayed out of the way of Captain Gloriousus. All three of

the bikers carryShotguns andBolt Pistols, they are also equipped with Cluster Mines which they

may or may not be able to use.

Elite

Techmarine Erronius (120 points)

Erronius could charitably be described as 'befuddled'. No-one knows how old he is once he got

lost on a battlefield and remained until the Ultramarines returned...thirty years later. He is

equipped with aServo-Arm, which he uses to good effect in close combat if he finds the enemy; at

some point two unfortunates 'volunteered' forServitorduty; one of them is equipped with a Heavy

Bolter. He wearsArtificier Armour, which unfortunately for the rest of the army he then forgot how

to make.

Veteran Squad Artotrogus (370 points)

Lieutenant Artotrogus is the former second-in-command of Captain Gloriosus; he assumed

command of the Veteran squad upon his comrade's accession, likewise obtaining a slightly

unorthodox promotion to the officer corps. He is the dictionary definition of the term 'yes man', and

is Captain Gloriousus' favourite subordinate. His squad is the best-equipped of the Task Force,

naturally enough; the Lieutenant carries a Plasma Pistoland uses aPower Fistin close combat;two of his veterans are armed with a Meltagun and a Plasma Gun respectively. The remaining

seven are all armed with Bolters, though one of them has managed an upgrade to a Combi-Melta.

All the Bolter Marines are equipped with Special Ammunition. They ride into battle on a Rhino,

equipped with Twin Storm Bolters andExtra Armour...which is not at all a comment on theLieutenant's command style.

3/3

Dreadnought Lurcio (135 points)

At one point, Corporal Lurcio was the assistant of Erronius. He woke up one morning to find that

his master had found a 'new toy', and had wired him into an experimental Dreadnought prototype.

This fortunately gave him the ability to outrun his master, and he went into hiding for some years

before recently being found and 'instructed' to return to battle. Eventually, he acquiesced. After

several tanks pointed their guns at him and 'insisted'. He is equipped with Twin Lascannon and a

Power Fistwith attachedStorm Bolter.

Heavy Support (380 points)

Captain Gloriousus considers himself a masterful armoured commander, despite the near-total loss

rate of all tanks hitherto entrusted to this command. Nevertheless, it appears the High Command

has ordered them in bulk, because for the first time, he has been given a full phalanx of three

Predators to command. All of them are similarly equipped, with an turret-mountedAutocannon

andLascannons in the side sponsons. One of them is equipped with a Hunter-Killer Missile, and

another has a top-mountedStorm Bolter. The three tanks are theoretically commanded by Sergeant

Pyrgopolynices, but no-one has yet been able to pronounce his name on the comm-net; as a result,

Captain Gloriousus generally takes personal command of the force.
