Let's roll up a space marine chapter

Rolled 7 (1d10)

Rolling for Battle Brothers

Suffer not the alien to live, so we have a tendency to murder xenos.

now 1d100 to see if we've mutated, if you roll 20 or lower then we have.

Rolled 98 (1d100)

Praise to the Changer

We haven't changed even a little.

1d100 for our figure of legend

Rolled 86 (1d100)

A squad sergeant.

Now 1d100 for what he did, and if you could let someone else get interested and roll that'd be groovy.

Rolled 61 (1d100)

51-70 The hero led a glorious campaign against a rebel army, defeating the foe and bringing an entire sector back into the light of the Emperor

1d100 for chapter home world.

Rolled 2 (1d100)

Hive world, we come from cities.

Now 1d100 for homeworld terrain

Rolled 86 (1d100)

Airless. We recruit from a rock with no O2
1d10 for how we rule

Rolled 3 (1d10)

Rolled 2 (1d10)

Stewardship, someone else keeps our world for us.

1d10 for chapter divergence

Rolled 4 (1d10)

We are a part of Guillemans book club.

1d10 for combat doctrine

And does anyone have any good theme for this chapter?

Rolled 6 (1d10)

The Space Cats!

We use drop pods and steel rain.

Now I think we should break the rule of only unique or divergent should get special equipment. No matter if you agree or it's also 1d100 for chapter beliefs.

Rolled 92 (1d100)

Rolled 39 (1d100)

How about we use this roll for special equipment.
And this one for chapter beliefs

Chain/power lances?

I have to do some German homework, could someone take over while I'm out?

so modifed war gear and honor space genghis khan, seems good

1d10 for chapter strength

Rolled 1 (1d10)

Endangered, we've only got a few companies left.
(so does anyone know about an asian nation that got completly fucked, if so maybe we can base ourselves on that)

1d10 for chapter friends

Rolled 4 (1d10)

Isn't it d100?

oh yeah oops, i forgot.
1d100 then

Rolled 10 (1d100)

Rolled 68 (1d100)

our friends are the space police.

our enemies are CSM

japan

should we reroll to see if we get some Xenos instead, seeing as that is our thing.

Rolled 72 (1d100)

Suffer not the xenos.

lets just say Deldar, to avenge our white scar brethren.

let's come up with some details now

Maybe space koreans, with space admiral yi as their leader.

Can I just say that I think it would be interesting if all of their battlefield commands were done by way of throat singing?

shall we throw some name ideas around?
White Hunters

Winged tigers?

The Felled Righteous

Blazing comets

Perhaps we could have drop pods, be something like the turtle ship, highly defensible.

The Besaid Aurochs?

What do aurora have to do with anything?

Sorry, mispelled that, meant to say the Scary Dudes

can you stuff 5 bikes with marines in a drop pod ?
one on each ramp?

With modified drop pods, you probably could.

because i mean how awesome would it be to drop a pod somewhere, boom 5 bikes to the face, with a deathwind shooting missiles at everything in near proximity while the bikers shoot everything with combi flamers around the pod or just smash it with their bikes

Drop pods are meant for getting you somewhere.
Bikes are also meant for getting you somewhere.

If you're going to put a droppod into the enemy's face, you should have stuff coming out of it that are amazing at melee, but shit at moving. ie not bikes.

nah its good to extract HVT's
and like the hive cities on their home planet, there might be cases when you can't good deep enough into a planetary structure with droppods, and teleporting might be out of question due to chaos fuckery or other things.

Then why take the drop pods at all?

No matter what mental gymnasitics you pull, drop pods with bikes are too redundant. It's a tactical mistake.

damn, so not even universal 40k rule of cool applies ?

If you're doing it to be cool, go for it. I'd even respect someone doing that if it was doable on the tabletop. But it just seems like a useless idea outside of the cool-factor.

What about drop ships?
Something like air cav.

The drop ships launch from orbit at crazy steep angles and dive, only pulling up at the last second, before strafing and sending in the Marines.

you mean thunderhawks ?

Yeah. Thunderhawks, Stormeagles, Caestus and some Stormravens for when you can't get something bigger.

How about spring loaded drop pods containing assault marines with jump packs.

Pod lands in the middle of enemy formations fucking up a load of them.

Pod doors open and catapult the marine into the air the moment it lands.

Marine starts buzzing around strafing them whilst their ears are still ringing and wondering what just happened.

Then they get the fuck out of there before anyone can get their shit back together and offer proper resistance.

It's fast, It's devastating and it has spring launched space marines so I can't see any problems.
