TBH I don't think they ever really thought it through properly. Apocalypse formations might be a source of information about larger scale units, although there are pictures of the entire Ultramarines Chapter around like the one in, IIRC, 3rd ed Codex Space Marines that theorethically have "everything" in it.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-90192009369289363142013-09-03T18:18:19.840-07:002013-09-03T18:18:19.840-07:00Yeah, unsurprisingly Granny W has never been too c...Yeah, unsurprisingly Granny W has never been too clear on how the SMs actually use armour, mostly because it doesn't fit with the infantry-centric image of battle that GW relies on, Titans notwithstanding.

Wha...Thanks! "Non-Codex chapter" it is! <br /><br />What I still don't get is where do AFVs like Predators and Vindicators and the like fit into the 10-company chapter TO&E?timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-53244902457864610222013-09-03T15:28:24.959-07:002013-09-03T15:28:24.959-07:00The TO&E has gone right out the window of late...The TO&E has gone right out the window of late. Far too many new units "were there all along" being churned out to sell toy soldiers at GW HQ these days. The old TO&E of a "Codex" chapter had 10 companies, 1st was Veterans as above, 2nd through 5th were "battle" companies of 6 Tactical squads, 2 Assault and 2 Devestator, 6th through 7th were homogenous "reserve" companies with two Tactical, one Assault and one Devestator company, and 10th was the Scout company rounding it out. All but the scouts had Rhinos and Dreadnoughts listed on the support elements, with Land Speeders and Bikes being available in weird organisations (6th and 7th have one each respectively, but are Tactical companies where the usual organisation would have Assault squads manning fast vehicles....) 10th company gets no support.<br /><br />The way to ignore this all is to say "non-Codex chapter" and just do whatever seems fun.Arquinsielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290858295232803685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-66436316514135961512013-09-01T20:38:08.134-07:002013-09-01T20:38:08.134-07:00Thanks Millsy!
