"What is the strongest weapon of mankind? The god-machines of the Adeptus Mechanicus? No! The Astartes Legions? No! The tank? The Lasgun? The fist? Not at all! Courage and courage alone stands above them all!"
- The writings of Lord-Commander Solar Macharius

Loadouts

Your wargear is your life, maintain it properly and carry the right tool for the job and you'll make it to the next day.

Wargear Training

Certain pieces of wargear require additional training in order to be authorized for usage and will be denoted with a T next to its name on the Requisition Table in the Faction Systems section of the Codex.

To receive the additional training needed for a desired piece of wargear one should find a Quartermaster as the our experts when it comes to our arsenal as members of the Depermento Munitorum. One will also need to approach a Quartermaster for vehicle training.

Requisitions

Step 1: Inquire if the item you are attempting to requisition is available in the first place. Example: If there is a spare plasma gun that has been crafted, and is in the armory.

Step 2: Fill out the requisition form, and submit it to either a Commissar, or Lieutenant, then wait for them to approve or deny it.

Step 3: Take your approved form to an armory staff member to distribute your gear to you. If the gear is temporary (if given for a single mission) then ensure you set up a time to return said piece of equipment.
