The Long Founding (Warhammer 40k)

If we make one that specializes in Void Warfare we can double up...Cause fighting in Water and Void have similar if opposite issues.
The Space Shark marines are already a thing, and Dpace Dolphins sound silly. Maybe Space Whales? The Whalers?
Salt Sailor Marines with Peg legs and power hooks?
Servitor parrots?
Psyker blocking eye patches?
Boarding action+enemy ship theft specialists?
 
You know actually we don't have any farming based marines, but then again that's sorta not the point. Marines are made to fight some issue, and agriculture shouldn't be one of them. Well, not unless the crops and animals fight back, but then that would only be confined to the specific agri-worlds.
Not gonna lie, a chapter focused on farming sounds actually quite fun.
 
I think an Aquatic based space marine chapter should be made considering the difficulty for humans to fight in water. I mean if you want to be clean and accurate you go in there with a knife and spear, but if you want to kill everything in the waters you can drop a bomb that uses the shockwaves to kill everything, or sonar. Cuz like sub marines have killed marine live before by being too loud.
Ther's the dark kraken,they fit a bit the water based marine
 
Wonder if we can create Chapter specifically to blockage Eye of Terror..

Or just some kind of tech savy chapters to just activate those Necron Monoliths on Cadia and other worlds..
 
The agri world protectors have definite potential to fill in some holes in the imperiums methodology, I mean every part of the imperium is lean, mean fighting mashine but they dont realy have a option to fight in places where they want to limit the damage to the biosphere.

Another potential idea for a chapter is a medical based one, dropping into battlefields to treat griveous wounds and of the battlefield researching new ways to counteract plagues, toxins etc...
 
Wait, what about an Imperial Guard based chapter that's double over the chapter limit for the sake of training Solar Auxilia, Temestus Scion, and Lucifer Black tier human soldiers? They could be fleet based and recruit from planets that have IG Tithes to double down on the Guardsmen theme.

Like, they would be so intertwined that it's not super rare to see am 80 year old commissar putting the Fear of the God Emperor in a newly minted Space Marine for being over eager to kill some aliens.

Newbie Space Marine: *sweating buckets* "Reporting for durty sir!"
Drill Sergeant Arch Dornan: "Welcome to fleet Navarro. So, you're the new battle brother... You are out of uniform, marine! Where is your power armor? Don't have any? You expect me to believe that, maggot? The truth is you lost an expensive piece of adminatorum-issue equipment. That suit is going to come out of your pay-"
Newbie Space Marine: "We get payed?"
Drill Sergeant Arch Dornan: "-and you will remain in this Emperor's army until you are five hundred and ten years old, which is the number of years it will take for you to pay for a Mark VII Powered Combat Armor you have lost! Report to the armory and have a new suit issued to you, then report back to me, private! Dismissed!"

Which reminds me that rejuvenation treatments exist, so there's a good chance for a mortal man to out live and terrify a rank in file Marine through merit of being so badass he didn't need to be a super human to kill baddies.

I don't think commissars are drill sergeants, in fact one of the main issues the IG has is a lack of a coherent in-house training system since they rely on tithed units.

Furthermore even if they were the space marines would certainly not be running around without their armors when they're not supposed to. Those armors are one of the few things that the imperium keeps track of, or more precisely the chapter tech marines.

Helmets on the other hand are definitely a thing that space marines seem to loose a lot.
 
I think next trun we should use all our points to unlcok the rest of the trator legion geneseed we should have enough to do it next turn, and then take a mission that wont need alot of geneseed charges like the experiment mission where we put an alpha legion chapter on an ultramar world
 
Eh, racking up a t-legion or two at a time makes sense to me, but splurging for a whole ton at once doesn't seem like smart use of resources. Unless these are one time use deals?
 
-A bloody battle with a Black Legion Warband ends when a Titan-sized Ultrabear manages to suplex a Chaos Imperator Titan, slamming the corrupted machine directly into the desecrated Fortress Monastery the Black Legion had been using as a makeshift base, destroying both in the process.

... was the Ultrabear also named "Sabin" and infamous to do the same with Daemon Trains?


-Once more, the Sons of Cerberus and the Black Legion find themselves in a merciless, long lasting battle. This time, the clash found itself ended when the Sons of Cerberus Dreadnought known as 'End of Traitors' killed the Chaos Warlord by manhandling him and using him to bludgeon his own Master of Executions to death.

So the Warlord was used here to do the meme of "I will beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker!".
 
No offence to anyone, but all those Chapter ideas are awful. Astartes are special units, that's what makes them useful to Imperium at all, considering the hilarious, number difference between Space Marines and every other force in the Imperium.

During Great Crusade when, thanks to Primarchs, Space Marines could be produced in significantly larger numbers, they still weren't the main military unit, Expedition Fleets which had Astartes accompanying them were privileged. Astartes served as spearhead for the actual army, Astartes dealt with all the very specific, big, threats while the actual army was taking care of the majority of campaigns and compliances across the Galaxy.

Astartes are special units, commandos, they win wars by killing the enemy leadership not by waging war like normal army. And Astartes aren't naturally genuises. They have potential to be very intelligent, far surpassing baseline Human, and can do stuff other than fighting, but that doesn't mean that they all are like that. Most Astartes aren't that significantly more intelligent than baseline Human.

So creating a entire Chapter, that doesn't nothing but heal people actually fighting on battlefield and cure plagues is awful idea and waste of resources or Chapter that has any influence over normal Imperial army and grows much larger than it should, which wouldn't go well politically and would most likely result in Chapter getting destroyed.

I think next trun we should use all our points to unlcok the rest of the trator legion geneseed we should have enough to do it next turn, and then take a mission that wont need alot of geneseed charges like the experiment mission where we put an alpha legion chapter on an ultramar world
Or, you know, don't take anything? We don't need to take any requests, we can just create Chapter because we want to create it.

Eh, racking up a t-legion or two at a time makes sense to me, but splurging for a whole ton at once doesn't seem like smart use of resources. Unless these are one time use deals?
Yes?! Did you read anything in this quest at all?! Gene-seed are unlocks, after we buy one, it stays and can be used without paying again, because they unlocks. We have only four more Legions to unlock, we can easily buy them all next turn and not have to spend resources on any Gene-seed again. It makes more sense and would allow greater experimentation with potential, future Chapters.
 
A Chapter that cures plagues extraordinarily well would be great as an anti-Nurgle Chapter.
 
I think that we shouldn't unlock things that we aren't going use the same turn. We unlocked weapons that didn't use yet.
Gene-seed is a different thing and it's a very useful long-term investment. Also, who said we wouldn't use it? We can pick Night Lords or another Legion we unlocked and use them. Just because we didn't pick request doesn't mean the Chapter will be bad.

I disagree specially with gene-seed, we unlock to be able to use them as required, maybe not for that chapter but for the next or one in the future.

And while we may not use everything we unlock it gives the options for requests that we may take or just for our own ideas
