The reason to divide the Space Marine Legions to chapters after the Horus Heresy, was to prevent any man from commanding so many warriors again: 1,000 is the limit. In general, no Chapter diverges from the Codex without a strong reason to do so. You should work out exactly why the Chapter made those changes in the first place: it could be because your Chapter encounters some unique battle conditions, or suffered such heavy losses they needed to change a lot simply to survive.
There is no reason why you cannot make a non-Codex Chapter, but the Codex is the baseline: start with a Codex Chapter, and then implement the changes you want to make.
The tenth company is a Scout force, made up of aspiring Space Marines not yet proven in battle. Some individual companies may be specialized assault or support companies, possessing larger proportions of Assault or Devastator squads. The First Company is made up of the Chapter's most experienced veterans, while the second through ninth consist of more ordinary warriors. A 'Codex Chapter' which closely (if not completely) follows the doctrines of the Codex Astartes, is led by a Chapter Master and made up of ten companies, each consisting of up to one hundred Marines and commanded by an officer with the rank of Captain. The Codex Astartes is the template on which the vast majority of Chapters are based.
Each chapter has its own traditions, specialities, its own cult, beliefs and practices. It is usually made of up to a thousand Space Marines, as well as a large number of administrative and functionary personnel.Įach Chapter is an independent army, with its own leadership, support and administrative staff, reliant only on its own Chapter members and its own resources. Driving away a Tyranid Splinter Fleet is heroic enough, destroying an entire hive fleet single-handedly just looks supercilious.Ī Space Marine Chapter is a self-contained army. But there are more than enough heroic deeds to go around, inflating them beyond the practical just comes off as tacky.
