===== Beta Cohort =====

Identified by their grey-white stripe and red symbol, Beta Cohort is led by Tempestor Prime Grundle Thackery and composed of Tempestus Scions.

Identified by their grey-white stripe and red symbol, Beta Cohort is led by Tempestor Prime Grundle Thackery and composed of Tempestus Scions. Thackery has an obsessive interest in relic weaponry and has amassed quite the collection over his many years of service, including xenos weapons he keeps hidden in vaults for 'containment'. When the opportunity presents itself, he is not above deviating slightly to acquire more for his collection, and has occasionally granted one of his relics to a scion or stormtrooper that has impressed him.

===== Gamma Cohort =====

Identified by their black stripe and white symbol, Gamma Cohort is led by Captain Elrec Sturn and composed of Stormtroopers. Sturn was hit by a malfunctioning flamer's flame in a prior battle and suffered effectively total loss of his face and portions of his frontal lobes, requiring him to permanently wear an integrated bionic facial mask. His unbridled fury has suited Gamma cohorts disposition well, and their reputation for brutality and collateral damage has only grown under his leadership. Although he may too trigger happy for Barborasa's liking, his tactical acumen is too critical to lose. A hobby he had before his accident, he has continued his collection of mounted heads of particularly nasty enemies he has bested in battle, but has expanded to mounting human heads as well to gloat over beating them, from traitor warband leaders to an Imperial noble who stood in his way, Sturn has amassed quite the showroom of heads and wounds.

Cursed by a particularly nasty chaos cultist warlock at the culmination of a long campaign by a dark magic that resists Imperial science, Sturn's many facial scars open up and begin to bleed when he is near psykers, friend or foe. While he doesn't actually seem to lose blood, the same pain is present causing him to abhor psykers even more than the average Inquisitor - making it incredibly difficult to work alongside Fubles. Although Barborasa and many of his subordinate Inquisitors have some psychic gift, they are of a skill level to neutralize the effect of their Prescence on Sturn, avoiding the animosity that plague all others. On the other end, as this is a warp based malady, nulls and blanks end the effect completely in his presence, as such (at Sturn's and Agrippa's request) the Lord Inquisitor has assigned one of his few blanks to accompany Sturn-although the blank is too valuable to risk in battle, they do allow Sturn some measure of normality outside of combat. Besides his lack of social grace, Sturn is also subject to the rumor mill that his excessive hate of his enemies, his extreme reaction to psykers, and his morbid collection of decapitated heads mean he is not as loyal as thought and may even be a follower of Khorne. Even though he has suffered through many trials and tests to confirm his loyalty, the rumor persists.

===== Delta Cohort =====

Identified by their red stripe and black symbol, Delta Cohort is led by Tempestor Prime Mercurial Daerun.

==== Barborasa's Naval Forces ====

Barborasa's utilizes fleets of sleek destroyers and frigates, with a few light cruisers to augment his larger actions. Any larger scale naval engagement would be handled by a proper Battlefleet, but the Hammer of Judgement can protect its own during his missions and investigations.

The Lord Inquisitor frequently requests dedicated armsmen for naval actions and investigations, and Battlefleet Eternum's Lord of Purgation's elite breacher teams, specifically 2nd Squad, 1st Platoon of the cruiser's breacher 2nd Company, "The Scuttlers"", named for their excellence in breaching difficult entries. As a boarding action or ship battle progresses, it is somewhat common for Inquisitorial armsmen to join the naval armsmen breacher squad once the initial action is complete and a foothold established. This serves a dual purpose, first to act as the primary Inquisitor's eyes in the field (although the armsmen do frequently work with the conclave, they do not have the training nor the same level of hands on experience with the inquisitor to focus on the more relevant parts of his missions and goals), and second to reinforce and add more firepower to the naval armsmen.

Unfortunately, they are not quite as effective and lack the more specialized training and advanced equipment of the armsmen which regulates them to a more general close combat infantry role. Additionally, they lack the more sophisticated void armor of the navy and are instead equipped with more general hardened void suits from the conclave's armory. Although the conclave prefers trained naval breacher armsmen for ship actions and space hulk expeditions, they will make use of their own armsmen for longer campaigns or sensitive missions where the armsmen tactical naval skill doesn't outweigh the stormtrooper's training. Inquisitor Crucibald's strike destroyer The Symphony of Faith accompanies him during his investigations, and he often makes use of The Symphony's armsmen to supplement naval breachers. His most experienced armsmen squad, Skyer Squad, is a frequent site whenever he conducts void operations, and even sometimes on the ground or where stormtroopers are also being deployed, such is his trust in them.

The Library of Judgment also makes use of armsmen to defend herself, but Barborasa is less likely to deploy them - both in preference of his stormtroopers who have more overall training, and due to the Judgement not having a large complement of armsmen (due to both secrecy and Barborasa's preference for servitors (regular and combat/murder servitors) and automated defenses. Still, the Judgement's armsmen squad the "Paragons" is occasionally called on to accompany the Inquisitor on void operations.
