Hello everyone. I do apologize as I do not have the codex on hand at this very moment but just a quick question. I've been a long time Red Scorps player, mainly because I love the fluff :p With the new space marine codex out, it says if your not one of the chapters listed, such as ultramarines, white scares, raven guard etc.... you pick the chapter tactics for your army depending on which chapter you descended from. Red Scorps don't have a chapter they've descended from.... So what do I do? From what I've always read, and from what I can tell, no one knows which chapter Red Scorpions originated from(if any chapter) How do I pick my chapter tactics???

Whichever one you want to use.

Pick what best reflects how you want to play and counts as?

Judging by the fluff: I'd say ultramarines. But ultimately its not defined so you could pick any of them

Follow the instructions in the Codex and pick one of the provided chapter tactics when writing your list.

Or wait until Forgeworld puts out a FAQ that says what Chapter Tactics they have.

You get to pick BUT have to tell your opponent which you are using as per the codex

I‘m using Iron Hands because the FNP can sort of represent apothecary Sergeants.

FW IA vol 9 : Baddab war. IMO, use ultramarine, is the generic marine chapter tactics.
