Heavy Intercession

Heavy Intercession Squads are one of the rare kill teams deployed by Space Marines accompanying the Indomitus Crusade Fleets. Intended as a heavy support pattern for Adeptus Astartes kill teams, Heavy Intercession Squad protocols are disseminated to every fleet. These specialist groups of Heavy Intercessors have proven brutally effective.

A Heavy Intercessor, who is usually part of a Heavy Intercessor Squad, are Primaris Space Marines who serve on the battleline and are a potent defensive force. Clad in thick Mark X Gravis Power Armour, Heavy Intercessors are used to secure ground already won and are immovable in its defence. Always ready for any sign of enemy counterattack, they stand firm, laying down volleys of heavy fire that keep all but the most determined or foolhardy enemies at bay.
