Stewie_Mc Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was looking at the codex chapter organisation And just wanted something clarifying the 2nd company for example can have Captain Chaplain Apothecary Standard bearer 6 tactical squads 2 assault squads 2 devestator squads Plus supports Am I correct in thinking that the 100 marine limit in the codex is the squads? And the support units and captain, Chaplain, Apothecary, and standard bearer are on top of that? Also is their a permitted amount of support units a company could have available Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Correct, the number is about the squads, so command and auxiliary units are not counted (or are bonus?). There is not detail that I have read discussing a limit on support units as those are provided at the needs of the Captain or directed by Administration.

Black Cohort Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 GW seems to be trying move away from giving defined sizes to companies and chapters. The new index Imperium 1, has a bunch of information on marines and their organization but doesn't give any numbers or specific names of units in companies. Probably because there is no logical way to standardize mixed Primaris and TruMarine chapters since they have different units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyberos the Red Wake Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The old 1,000 marine limit does not count Dreadnoughts, Command Squads, officers and Captains, Chapter Master and retinue, HQ staff, Armory staff and pilots, Libarius staff, Recclusiam and Chaplains, excess Scouts and neophytes, or servitors, chapter serfs, and other combat personnel. The current fluff has removed the 1,000 limit as Guilliman has inserted the Primaris reinforcements into squads 11 and upwards in each Company willing to receive them.

Race Bannon Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Really? I wondered about that. Where is that located for further reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyberos the Red Wake Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I got it from here, in the Salamanders paragraph. It's not actually in the rulebook fluff so it might just be Duncan messing around and not actual canon. I haven't read Dark Imperium, I wonder if that mentions anything about how the Primaris are integrated into existing chapters.

Race Bannon Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Huh. Salamanders are a wee funky because of their Chapter organization, yet the idea has merit. Thank you ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
