As I plan this glorious legion to one day serve as my main 40K army I want it to be strong and unique. Whats the fun in making a codex that can just be merged into an existing one. I have came up with a handful of new units to make the Brotherhood that little bit unique. The Brotherhood are not with the Imperium or chaos and are classified as a legion. One Great Company can number as many as a single chapter. Loyal and Honourable warriors who fight for galatic peace by elimation of evil races. Haven't decided the wargear options yet but just tell me if the standard units are OP or not

First creation is the Centurion. A commander who ranks lower than a Captain but helps cooridinate the Great company due to no squad sargeants

Sorry its so long but these are a few of the units I created. The devestators and scorpions replace veterans. Feedback would be nice

BS 5 sounds like a big no-no to me, much more so than an eventual WS 5 on the CC guys

Can't give any other feedback without points costs and options

BS5 is fine. My space marine chapter has BS5 coming out of it face-holes, but every unit in the army is limited to 5 models.

I always thought SM should have 2 wounds (2 hearts and other things, even for poison weapon they should be more resistant), but GW wants to sell 10 marines instead of 5.
