Editing Brother-Sergeant (section)

==Variants==
There's a few different kinds of Sergeants.

*Scout Sergeant: Basically a Space Marine who decided he prefers being sneaky. Typically these are highly-experienced sergeants who either favor stealth and subtlety, and prefer to educate the next generation of their Chapter rather than fighting alongside the glory hounds of the rest of their Chapter, or who just like [[Cyrus|growling and snarling cynically and pessimistically about everything without having to worry about someone with actual experience telling him to shut the hell up and quit being such an emo git.]] It can also be a combination of any or all of these factors. They don't wear power armor but they do wield sniper rifles so fucking huge and powerful that it'd make the modern day M82 Barrett look like a fuckin' peashooter, so...yeah, who the fuck needs armor when [[Tau|you can reduce a Warboss's head to mush from 5+ miles with the pull of a trigger?]]

*Veteran Sergeant: Well, Brother-Sergeants are already veterans of hundreds of battles, so these guys are veteran veterans. They typically are part of the Chapter's 1st Company and have received their Terminator Honors, though they may not actually wear Terminator armor themselves. They're often seconded to other companies' squads to impart their centuries of wisdom onto the lesser-experienced Astartes in the Chapter to keep everyone up to snuff. They also tend to be attached to [[Command Squad]]s. This is often actually a dead-end sort of rank to have; Veteran Sergeants don't typically advance to Brother-Captains, though this largely because the Brother-Captains don't take to the field as much, whereas Brother-Sergeants ALWAYS take to the field if their squad is deployed, thus making them more the aspect of "might" in the Chapter, where the Captains are the aspect of the "mind," if you will. They get better equipment in general and it's a foregone conclusion that if one of them is bearing down on you...well, you're fucked, should've prayed harder. Or not have been born a filthy xenos.

*Terminator Sergeant: A Sergeant in command of a Terminator Squad. Hard as an Imperial Guardsman's standard-issue adamantium balls but not quite as manly, Terminator Sergeants are still beastly as hell. Funny thing is, though, this beastliness doesn't actually tend to show up much in fluff. In fact, they largely serve as the faceless icons of unimaginable toughness who get cut apart like a [[Katanas are Underpowered in d20|katana through paper.]] Their place is that of the Eldar Avatar, when Space Marines have to die instead of Eldar in order to give the big-bad (or the protagonist) street cred.
