phoenix01 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this has already been covered. From Codex: Adeptus Astartes Space Marines 8th Edition, p 195 CHAPTER TACTICS If your army is Battle-forged, all INFANTRY, BIKER and DREADNOUGHT units in a Space Marines Detachment gain a Chapter Tactic, so long as every unit in that Detachment is drawn from the same Chapter. The Chapter Tactic gained depends upon the Chapter they are drawn from... and ULTRAMARINES: CODEX DISCIPLINE Add 1 to the Leadership characteristic of all ULTRAMARINES models with this tactic... My question is this: Marneus Calgar, Chief Librarian Tigurius, Chaplain Cassius, and Captain Sicarius all have Leadership values of 9, and Sergeants Chronus and Telion have Leadership values of 8. They also all have the keyword: INFANTRY. So, that means as long as I have a Battle-forged army and all Ultramarines in the Detachment, their respective Leadership values increase to 10 and 9, correct? I know Warlord Traits have all named characters must take Adept of the Codex and only un-named characters can take Chapter Relics, so I just wanted to make sure I am understanding the application of Chapter Tactics correctly, as it is already situational as to which units benefit.

Ishagu Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yep, their leadership is indeed increased :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338585-chapter-tactics-and-named-characters/#findComment-4867048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyG Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The thing I find funny is guilleman doesn't benefit from his own chapter tactics! (I understand from a balance perspective though haha) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338585-chapter-tactics-and-named-characters/#findComment-4867079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Keep posting messages on their FB group about it. The impact it has on the Primarch is minimal but it's just silly, and really not thematic.
