[@shockwave6213]

Just a note for anyone wondering why Grey Knight Neophytes don't see battle until they've completed their augmentation and training: Every Grey Knight is a Psyker and EXTRAORDINARILY valuable even by Space Marine standards. Sending an undertrained and unprepared Psyker into battle before they're ready is not only a danger to themselves, but to the entire company. The Grey Knights specialize in taking on manifested Daemon hordes and if a Psyker is not ready, they can fall under Daemonic possession and that's a horrific prospect for anyone on the entire planet.

[@Diba_Brock]

I understand why a chapter wouldn't want to lose a marine so carelessly, but if they're trained to defeat demonic presences, how is it scary? A Grey knight that gets possessed is immediately surrounded and very likely outnumbered several times over by daemon killers, it would just lose then and there wouldn't it?

[@shockwave6213]

@@Diba_Brock It's not just the possession that's a factor. Extraordinarily powerful Psykers become a huge conduit for a full blown Demonic incursion. They could become possessed and immediately open a tear in reality to manifest a Daemon army. If a greater Daemon like a Great Unclean One were to possess the Psyker on a planet, you'd have a full blown Nurglite invasion on your hands.

[@nestorgamer9746]

​@@Diba_Brock because Marines are expensive Your theory ends up with a neophyte getting killed before he can do anything

[@nikolaradovanovic3094]

@Diba_Brock there's also the fact that trough psyker deamons can manifest... And probably with how much gray knights create presence in warp, there's good likelihood of summoning greater deamons. Sure, they will take it down, but causalities would pile...

[@anotheryoutubeuser5379]

@@RobertoGuillermoGOAT HOLY SHIT

[@blueline4857]

The limit of a thousand isn’t technically a hard limit as Chapters can and often do exceed that limit when recruitment swells. The limit is more of a general concept, because the Codex was made in wake of the Horus Heresy- where one man had too much control over the Marines. The point of the Chapter system is to insure no one individual has too many followers. It’s why Guilliman also split the Imperial Army into the Guard and Navy at the time- to insure no one has too much power. However nowadays it’s accepted and enforced by Guilliman that a Chapter can exceed the thousand man limit because of how messed up the Era Indomitus is, so long as they don’t go about Legion building.

5:57 I once read/heard that the red helm or other distinct colored headwear separate from the rest of their chapter colour had originated from a space marine sergeant that suggested there wouldn’t be any better training then fighting or sparing with other space marines, the sergeant that asked to organise this was ridiculed for suggesting so and thus was shunned by the higher-ups with a red helm for this indiscretion, later came the Horus heresy, none other than the same marine sergeant had been brung back to the limelight and now the red helm signifies the skill, outward thinking and initiative that battle-brothers share with their rank predecessor

(If you've decided) what chapter you gonna run?

[@kennycai8695]

Besides the Marines themselves, there are also Chapter Serfs that, while in theory they do not count towards the overall fighting strength, also play a crucial support role for the Chapter. Chapter Serfs are drawn from failed aspirants or from the populace of the Chapter's homeworld, so if you are able bodied and don't mind being surrounded by 9 feet tall superhumans who can quite literally snap you in half if you looked at them funny, the fortress monastery should feel right at home for you. Even among Chapter Serfs, there are also assigned roles to denote their primary occupations. For instance, Artificiers assist Techmarines in the armory with maintaining the Chapter's wargear, Medicae assist Apothecaries, Refectorium work in kitchens (cause even Space Marines enjoy a good meal now and then), and so on. As mentioned, although they do not technically count to the Chapter's fighting strength, Armsmen onboard Space Marine vessels are also drawn from Chapter Serfs, and while they lack the genetic enhancements of a Battle Brother, they are still capable of defending their ships from boarding parties.

[@DragonxFlutter]

I would love to hear the exploits of particular Companies within a Chapter; such as a Chapter’s 10th Company. What exploits do the young Scouts have under their belts? Also, I feel like Astartes “Ranks” can be divided as such: Primarch (if available) - the Gene-Father, the overall commander of Marines using his GeneSeed, and the one who solidifies war doctrine and codifies standard tactics. Master of the Chapter - the commander of a specific Chapter, either directing the Chapter in accordance with his Primarch’s will, or acting autonomously if his Primarch is unavailable/dead. Master of the (support group) - the leaders of the various support groups within a Chapter; Apothecary, Librarius, Armory, Chaplains, Fleet, whatever. Captain - the leader of a Company. Lieutenant - the assistant(s) of a Captain. Sergeant - the leader of an individual squad. Battle Brother - the rank and file, moreso sub-divided by age and the Company he serves in than any other ranks. Neophyte - the newbies of the 10th Company.

In real life military or police spec ops combat fireteams, there is no such thing as a captain leading a "squad," except for very drastic and emergency situational occurrences or in most cases a squad of high tier clandestine operators (1st and 2nd Coy in WH40k value). Meanwhile in WH40k Captains occasionally go land fall with squads belonging to 3rd to 8th Company space marines. Which in military hindsight is highly unlikely. And a movie I saw titled Ultra Marines a Captain and an apothecary made landfall with an obvious squad from 9th Company.

[@AshuragaBenign]

So if I'm getting this right.. You start as an Aspirant, and if you have psychic potential, you get trained to become a Librarian. If you survive, you become a Battle Brother in a company, if you are better than your brothers at combat and leading, you become a Sergeant. If you wanna be specialized, then you can become a Apothecary, a Techmarine and a Chaplain. Then some unassigned ranks like Veterans, even Veterans get their own Sergeants, and the top ranks are Lieutenants and Captains, controlling the entire company. Of course, the real top rank is Chapter Master. That is so much more simpler than the Guard to be honest, but i guess it fits, only the best of the best become Space Marines, and the standards increase with it. If you're a guardsman, even if you're a top ranker, one shot and you're dead, you're squad's morale has broken and they've scattered to the wind. But not the eSpesh Marhens, not the boys in blue, or red, or jet black, or green, or white, snow gray, or dark green.

[@blueline4857]

One nitpick; Technically, Chapters did exist in the Legions. The Legions were split into Chapters, then Companies, then Squads. Not all Legions had Chapters or Companies as we know them, but many did. For instance, the Ultramarines Legion was organized into 25 Chapters of ten Companies each, with each Company being a thousand strong. A majority of the Legions used the Chapter organization in between the Company element and the wider Legion sized group. The Imperial Fists, Dark Angels, Night Lords, Raven Guard, and Emperor’s Children all organized themselves along such lines. Other Legions had similar organizational concepts, with the Iron Warriors using a Grand Company composed of regular Battle Companies, or the Salamanders having several Realms composed of normal sized Companies.

[@captaincoolbreeze9429]

So Guilliman organized all Space Marines Chapters after the Horus Heresy like those of his own legion.

[@blueline4857]

@@captaincoolbreeze9429 More or less. He saw it as an efficient system and he also wanted to make sure no one individual had too much power in the Imperium- since Horus was Warmaster and we know what he did with that much power. Ultimately Guilliman wanted each Chapter to be a small entity that is dependent on the wider Imperium and wouldn’t be able to revolt- it’s also why he split the Imperial Army into the Guard and Navy.

I am pretty new to the lore and have a question with regard to the Primarch thing: But would the Primarchs not fall back into their role of leading their respective legion now that GW is waking them up or finding them one by one? I mean sure right now Guilliman leads all Space Marines, but with the Lion returning and I assume Rogal Dorne or Lehman Russ being next (I really hope it isn't Russ) I doubt they will just let Robute keep authority. I could not think of any loyalist primarch that all the others would agree to hold a role that is essentially the role of warmaster, other then the angel Sanguinius. If I recall this was even an Idea before the Heresy and the loyalists tried to start an empire 2.0 with the Angel at its helm. So in short, the more primarchs come back the more defined their roles will be, or am I mistaken?

[@bendeguzvarga816]

Fighting as equals doesn't make sense in a military perspective. You must always be able to decide who makes the decision between two fighters. That's why seniority exists in military. Even if you are the same rank the older becames the leaser

[@RAZZTER12]

I think during combat space marines defer to who they know to be the leader type A lot of Gaurd units straight up ignore sergeants and listen to the person they know (or feel) will get them out alive. It happens in real life too, not fishing for likes but I can say that from experience. Plus when you live hundreds of years you figure out who knows what. They have ranks that make decisions, but between battle brothers they will have their own system. Just my opinion, although I have just been listening to the Tanith novels, and the same subject is covered by the in universe Guardsmen. So I'd assume it applied to astartes even more so.

[@bendeguzvarga816]

@@RAZZTER12 I agree with you that it's the shared interest of everyone that smn who has good leadership skills should actually lead a unit instead of smn who was just pointed out. And in a good military this talent should be recognized and given a higher rank. But my point is that there are situations when making the bad decision fastly and confidently is better than making the good decision slowly and hesitantly. So if there is two confident and charismatic space marine are convinced that they have the right answer to solve the problem than it's already a waste of time to decide it. As if a platoon leader and some lower rank from the platoon disagrees on something it's immediately decided which option to choose.
