Mentors

Mentors
Often referred to as the Mentor Legion. The Mentors are a Twenty-Sixth Founding Chapter and are the second chapter to be designated number 888 (the first one being the destroyed Star Scorpions). The Mentors are a special chapter; the chapter does not fight in force but instead seconds squads of Marines to other Imperial forces. The chapter also acts as a test bed for new Imperial technology. (White Dwarf 98)

The Mentors' armour is painted dark green over the body and helmet, with white arms, shoulders and legs. The chapter's badge was originally the stylised face of an owl, (as shown in White Dwarf 98) but was later changed to a plain red falcon's head, seen in profile. The Chapter Master of the Mentors, named Nisk Ran-Thawll, has visited Terra (Earth), and is rumoured to have been granted an audience with the Emperor.

The chapter enjoys close links with the Adeptus Mechanicus, and is known to be technologically innovative in its own right. Consequently, Mentors' equipment is of a superior standard in terms of reliability and technical complexity.
