Which Chapter Are You, and Who Do You Serve?

Time for the question of the day…

The only thing better than playing 40K games is talking and arguing (in a friendly manner) about them. Who would win, what-if scenarios, and all that is the stuff of great gaming friends.

Let’s have some what-if fun!

If you had to serve a Space Marine Chapter, which one would you be recruited into, and what would be your rank- be honest- and why?

Personally I’d find myself with the Relictors, probably a librarian assuming I could survive the warp trials. Why? I like history and the arcane, would be willing to use anything to get the job done, even if it is chaos weaponry, and I am an obsessive personality.

Second question- a bigger “what-if”…

Would you have followed Horus or stayed loyal to the Emperor?

First reaction is the Emperor of course, but let’s be honest…I’d have to say I would have sided with Horus.

Not out of a desire of power or the lures of chaos, but on loyalty alone. In the cast of the Horus Heresy I’d probably be a tactical marine since librarians were not mainstream yet, World Eaters in my mind for those that know me, and serving and surviving in the great crusade would have left me with one option- continue the mission and service. I can see the point of view how the Emperor “abandoned” the crusade to those who weren’t soldiers or Space Marines, a betrayal of sorts.

Now, as a Space Marine, continuing to uphold my oath to Angron and Horus, what would have happened at some point if I found out the truth of the heresy, that moment when I found out what it really was, and that I was a “traitor”.

At that point things are too late, no chance to repent or turn back, only loyalty till the end- loyalty- the only thing a marine has left. It sure would suck to find that out in the end, but what other options are there?

Ok, your turn…
