Ok, so first and foremost I stole this pic from Brent over at http://strictlyaverage.blogspot.com/ since the pic got me thinking about a new direction for Space Marines as we move into 40K 6th edition. What about the pic? It represents a company organization of Space Marines, you know, 1st being terminators, 10th being scouts/initiates, etc.
Maybe this would be a cool way to go for vanilla space marines, also known as Codex:Ultramarines?
I’m not talking about going back to the misused and abused chapter trait system either…
So, according to the GW rumors they are not going to do another Space Marine updated before Eldar, Chaos, and Tau, and then maybe ‘Templars- which means soon, and with the radical shift 6th is going to bring Space Wolves and Blood Angels might actually be under powered? Accordingly, where does that leave generic space marines, since even at this point they have nothing special that the other books don’t have for better and cheaper- HA! Imagine “marines” suffering from codex creep!
Well, since the other books have all broken from the codex astartes, why not update the codex astartes book/chapters with a company type reward?
Yea, you can take a mixed force drawing from all the units- like a task force as intended, or as a chapter master you can dispatch a company to the battle- drawn only models from the scout company outline and all those models get some cool army wide rules, same with terminators, assault marines, etc. depending on the organization.
Would breathe some much needed soon to be life into the codex.
Thoughts?
Outside of Apocalypse you really can’t field a company in organization.
