PyronusSouria Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've been looking but I can't seem to find the official Codex organization for each of the ten companies in terms of squads. I know that the1st is all either Terminators or the two types of Veterans, and the 10th is supposed to be scouts, but I want to know what the composition of the other 8. Also, are drivers and pilots dedicated personnel, or are they just drawn from the companies that the vehicles are serving with at the time?

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Right, here we go. 1st: 10 squads of veterans/20 squads of terminators, normally a mix. Numbers fluctuate, with the Ultramarines having 97 veterans at present. 2nd-5th: 6 Tactical Squads, 2 Devastator Squads, 2 Assault Squads, One Command Squad. The Assault Squads are trained on bikes and Speeders, too. 6th: 10 Tactical Squads(May be deployed on Bikes), Command Squad 7th: 10 Tactical Squads(May be deployed on Speeders), Command Squad 8th: 10 Assault Squads, Command Squad 9th: 10 Devastator Squads, Command Squad 10th: Scouts Where the drivers are drawn from is pretty heavily debated. I personally think they're separate from the battle companies, but that's an educated opinion, not fact. If you search the Librarium for an article called the Thousand Marines Myth, it gives you a pretty in-depth explanation of all this. EDIT: Naturally, this is simplified a bit, and doesn't include support and HQ staff, such as Librarians, Chaplains, Apothecaries,, the Armory, and so on. EDIT EDIT: Try looking in the Vanilla Codex.

Marshal Rohr Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Lets just avoid the whole drivers, etc with a nice broad 'we think they are either extra marines beyond the 1000 limit, or they come from the reserve companies, but we dont really know'.

PyronusSouria Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I bet we could get a huge debate going by suggesting that according to a new Ward(no hate meant, he's just controversial :lol:) codex female marines are the drivers for the Chapters. Thanks guys, that helps me out a lot for my DIY Chapter :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241958-codex-companies/#findComment-2924064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
