When Zaphiel entered the armory, he noted the rather large size of this Kill-Team. Granted, it consisted of both the new recruits and their various mentors, but it was still a sizable force. The various weapons stocked within the armory were impressive, to say the least, and Zaphiel was certain that such a place stood both as a weapon hold and a shrine to both the God-Emperor and the Omnissiah, though Zaphiel couldn't help but feel a tinge of zeal at the sight of the various xenos technology, though he reassured himself by assuming that the collection had been properly sanctified prior to being stocked.

Zaphiel had brought with him his Crozius Arcanum, as was ceremonial tradition for a Chaplain entering battle, but upon being informed of what they were going up against, the DNA-stealing, flesh eating Kroot, Zaphiel opted to investigate the various ranged weaponry. Though the usual doctrine of the Black Templars was oriented towards melee combat, Zaphiel had made sure to train extensively with ranged weapons as a Chaplain, so that he may deliver the righteous fury of the Emperor no matter the distance.

Thinking over the tactics of the Kroot as Zaphiel had been instructed on them, he ultimately settled on taking a Vulkan-pattern Combi-Flamer, deciding that the bolter-flamer combination would aide greatly in the upcoming battle. From there, Zaphiel gathered some ammo, double-checked that he had everything he wished to use, then awaited departure.
