Brotherhood Champion

The Brotherhood Champion is the single finest swordsman of an entire Grey Knights brotherhood, a warrior who has bested every rival among a hundred peerless knights to earn the honour of carrying his brethren's pride into battle. Where others fight as a disciplined line, the Champion seeks the duel, hurling himself upon the greatest of the enemy's warriors, the daemon princes and warp-forged heralds whose mere presence would break a lesser man. Schooled in the deepest secrets of the Nemesis blade, he moves through the melee with a lethal, flowing grace, his every stroke a lesson in the killing arts perfected across centuries of war against the daemon. To duel a Brotherhood Champion is to face a living reliquary of martial skill, for the sword-forms he wields have been handed down since the founding of the Grey Knights, refined by generation upon generation of champions before him. When he steps forth and issues his silent challenge, the outcome is seldom in doubt, and the fall of the foe's mightiest warrior sends despair rippling through the ranks of the unclean.
