==Companies== Great Companies are further sub divided into Companies ranging between 3 and 5 per Great Company. Each Company field usually anywhere between 1000 to 3000 marines. Companies are rarely at full strength due to the near-constant state of warfare at the edge of the Storm Kingdoms and many can expect a century or two of being out of commission until ranks are replenished. Aside from elite specialist, most marines in a company are not assigned a specific role until it is time to deploy. Squads are, likewise, frequently re-arranged to suit the need of the battle, the taste of the commander or the special equipment brought into battle. Each company is led by a Captain who is always accompanied by its honor guard, itself led by the Company Champion. * '''Tactical Squad:''' In the Storm Hammers, the term 'tactical squad' usually refer to the ground troops, who either assault the target on foot in large formation or loaded up on Rhino. Most of them are equipped with bolters, sometimes backed by a few marines with heavy bolters or auto cannons. Sergeants usually use plasma pistol, power maul, arc maul or arc spears. * '''Drop Squad:''' The Storm Hammer make intensive use of drop pods and as such, squads loaded into drop pods are named Drop Squads and considered a separate type of unit. They are armed the same way Tactical Squads are. This also applies to their sergeants. * '''Assault Squad:''' Assault Squads refer to the melee shock troops, which are not to be confused with the more specialized jump troops. Assault Squads are usually armed with chainsword and bolt pistol or can replace this with Battle Hammers. Sergeants are usually armed with power or arc weapons or Tempest Hammers. * '''Breacher Squad:''' Deployed to board ship or break siege, Breachers trade their usual armor for bulky front-reinforced armor. They are equipped with bolters and boarding shields. Sergeants usually fight with the same weapons as their squad mates or volkite weapons. * '''Heavy Weapon Squad:''' Counterparts to the canon Devastator Squads. These marines are deployed with whatever heavy weapon is suitable for the task and can be on foot or mounted in a Rhino. Sergeants usually fight with the same weapons as their squad mates or combi-bolters. ===Brotherhoods=== The Brotherhoods refer to those 'special unit' squads who are always assigned a specific battlefield role. It is these elite marines who are given the specialized wargear for highly specific missions. * '''Eradicator Squad:''' Eradicators exist as melee shock troops, designed to be deployed against an enemy with numerical advantage. These marines are equipped with oversized chainsaw or Tempest Hammers. Their only purpose is to wade into melee and kill as many enemies as quickly as possible. These marines are usually first into battle, clearing huge swaths of ill-prepared and unsuspecting enemies with terrifying efficiency. * '''Jump Pack Squad:''' While the Storm Hammers remain capable of creating jump pack they have never really taken to using them in mass. While all marines are trained in their use, only those who wish to master its use are deployed with them. Jump Pack squads are usually armed similar to Assault Squads. A few Jump Pack squads are armed as Eradicators. * '''Centurion Squad:''' Limited in numbers, Centurion Squads are quite rare and limited to those warriors with the dedication and skill to master them. Most companies forgo their use. In the past they were associated with the Taranisian, who had access to these suits collecting dust in the armory, until founding Master of the 13th Grand Company, Garanwyn took upon himself the challenge to master these antique suits. Ever since then, the Worldbreakers have become the primary users of Centurion armor in the Legion. ===Specialist Crews=== Specialists are never formally part of a companies, instead answering directly to their own superior. They are assigned as needed. * '''Apothecaries:''' Similar in function and role to the apothecaries pioneered by the [[Oathsworn]]. Sometimes referred to as 'medics' by the human auxiliaries. Wear white or partially-white armor. * '''Techmarine:''' The Storm Kingdoms make do with the exiled Mechanicum personnel they have, making training new Techmarines somewhat difficult which in turn make the Priests of Mars valuable. As a result, they are never deployed alone, protected by either squads of personally-designed combat servitors or a squad of Astartes. They wear red armor to honor the traditions of the Adeptus Mechanicus. * '''Morale Officer:''' Similar to Chaplains but with less of a religious bent, since these marines must also police the human auxiliaries. Wear black armors decorated with orange or yellow lightning bolts. ===Librarian Circles===
