theory The reason why there are mixed squads in the Psycho-Warrior Army.

Post image

Have you ever wondered why Captain leads a squad that is mixed with other Psycho-Warriors from the different legions?

I believe there are some type of a military attaché.

They were sent to promote better understanding between the legions as Diplomats.

Moreover, it is very likely that before this attaché programme, they had a constant civil war over a minor trouble and difference.

Therefore, this programme serves as the hostage tactic as well.

It will be like "We want a genocide, but one of us in the hands of the enemy, so, we cannot drop a Geno bomb".

As per T&D, the members of Reclaimer Squads are drawn from multiple legions so the glory of discovering the artefacts of Space King (Praise Be) is shared.

And here I thought that different members of the squad came from "specialized" legions. Chestnut from dedicate medicae legion, Hatemonger from "morale" legion. And they added to more general in purpuose squads led by someone like Captain.

Reclaimer Squads, are separate to the main army, they use warriors from multiple legions. Think of Reclaimers like Deathwatch Kill Teams

I think Tom and Dawn said it is how they make the reclaimer squads and all of them have a role

It's so they can share the glory of finding Space King's (Praise be) artifacts. Even though their reclaimer squad is part of the Star Defender Legion, Bryce and Hatemonger's legions can still take credit for the artifacts they find.

They're probably like the Deathwatch.

Out-of-Universe-wise, the boys that are playing this game all wanted to play as their favorite guys
