''Damnation Crusade'' is a comic set in the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' verse, jumping between the stories of three Black Templars - the young savage Raclaw, selected by the Black Templars to join their ranks; Brother Gerhart of the Sword Brethren (the Black Templars' First Company equivalent); and finally the dreadnought Tankred, who was born Raclaw and later took on the name Gerhart. They're the same warrior.

* BadassBeard: Gerhart and Brunner.
** BadassMustache: Brunner.
* BadassBoast: Plenty.
--> What is the terror of death?\\
That we die, our work incomplete.\\
What is the joy of life?\\
To die, knowing our tsk is done.

--> My sword shall not waver, nor my heart weaken. I shall drown the xeno in his own blood. I shall smite glorious ruin upon the heretic. This I swear!

--> My name is Gerhart! I am of the sword brethren of Mashall Korneliusz's fighting company. Now tell me- who wants to be the first?
* BaldOfAwesome: Brunner and most of the Marines.
* BodyHorror: One of the recruits failed the implantation process, turning into a mindless brute with hypertrophied muscles.
* CatchPhrase: TANKRED ENDURES.
* DeadpanSnarker: Marshall Korneliusz. "I was unaware ''you'' had won the battle alone?"
* {{Determinator}}: Tankred, like all Black Templars. It takes more than being shot repeatedly with railguns or being ripped apart by a Daemon Prince to stop him.
* InMediaRes: The comic begins with Gerhart delivering a FacingTheBulletsOneLiner, and switches back and forth between his time as a Neophyte, Sword Brethren and Dreadnought. Even worse with Tankred, since he sleeps for ''centuries''.

* NonIndicativeName: Tankred is neither a tank nor red.
* NotAMorningPerson: though if your life was reduced to sleeping for centuries, waking up to find everyone you knew was dead, and that it was time to fight again, you'd be grumpy too.
* NoSell:
-->We hear [[OurOrcsAreDifferent them]] first. Ten thousand edged weapons pounding a pulsing, primal beat. An ancient ritual designed to instill panic and fear in their foe.\\
It doesn't work.
* ObiWanMoment: Brunner, even as an Eldar walker is crushing him in its fist, yells at Raclaw to get back to fighting.
* {{Pride}}: As a young Templar, Gerhart had a tendency to take greater joy in his company's exploits than his brothers felt was proper. After he showed himself capable of restraint, the matter was dropped.
* SwordAndGun: Raclaw uses a bolt pistol and chainsword, Tankred a dreadnought fist and assault cannon.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Gerhart is too greivously wounded to continue serving as a Sword Brethren, but will be transferred into a dreadnought.
-->We will not abandon such paragons to succumb to the ravages of mortality. The way will be prepared for him.\\
He shall not be laid low but raised high and exalted. He will join the Emperor's immortal retinue and walk the road of ages.\\
He shall be taken from this place and the armor of his past purpose removed. He shall be healed, anointed with sacred oils, unguents, and balms.\\
The incantations of installation will be intoned and the litanies of preservation given voice.\\
The machine spirits will be summoned to invest the almighty hose with their motive aspect-\\
-And he will be dressed in furious glory, to war forevermore in the Emperor's name!
