I really like what FW did with IA9 and 10. Tons of characters for different chapeters adding unique flavor to all of them. I'd like to see some WD with a few legal charaters that can really help people customize an SM army. I think chapter tactics is a brilliant way of doing that.

There's a few I'd like to see, but if I had to pick one, I'd like to see Gabriel Angelos and an Iron Hands character. The Sons of Medusa dude made me think it could be done, and done well.

Adding more legal characters with chapter tactics could really add diversity to just for fun, and tournament play.

What chapter/character would you like to see?

would like to see a better Chaos codex that has some rules for the different chaos legions before regular marines get anythign more.

HA! Amen to that.

Just bring back the old Chapter Traits thing. That was pretty cool.

Chapter traits were good...
It would be nice to combine the 2.
Company tactics can be bought for a captain and Chapter traits can be chosen as per the previous codex.

Really I'd be happy with any sort of rules that would allow some sort of flavor to SM. The current rules just don't allow many different chapters unless you're using IA.

Well, technically the current rules allow for a lot of different chapters, as most of them adhere pretty closely to the Codex Astartes, which is what C:SM represents. Between things like Bike Captains allowing bikes as troops, and using Special Characters as counts as HQ choices, there's a lot of flexibility available in the Space Marine book, fluff-wise. At first I missed the old chapter traits, but honestly I think that the current book does a great job of covering the bases.

I'd like to see rules for each Legion, and any other significant chapters that don't have their own already.

Yeah I agree. What I mean is that the current SCs in C:SM are all pretty cose to the same, and also don't have many options. I mean there's 2 with stubborn. We need more SC that are normally legal. Personally I want to make a FW army from either IA9 or 10, but most places don't allow IA stuff in tournaments.
