So Brother Captain Centos has rules that are Ultramarine only. I want to come up with rules to use him in the other official Chapters. Here are examples I came up with. Their names are all plays on the word for 100 hundred in languages analogous to the culture the chapters emulate.

Brother Captain Cien(Crimson Fists)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics (Imperial Fists)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Legacy of Polux
When making close combat attacks, Captain Cien can elect to reduce his Attack statistic to 1. If he does this, his attacks with his Power Fist are made without the Unwieldy special rule. Brother Captain Cien still gains an additional attacks if he charges that turn or benefits from other abilities that grants him an additional attack (Chapter Banners, psychic powers, etc.).

Zuun Khan(White Scars)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(White Scars)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Crushing Impact
Zuun Khan and his unit gain the Fleet special rule. Zuun Khan also gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule when charging.

Captain Mia'Moja(Salamanders)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Power Fist with Master-Crafted Power Fist
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(Salamanders)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Slayer of Monsters
Captain Mia'Moja has the Monster Hunter special rule.

Here is another couple.

Brother Captain Hundert(Imperial Fists)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(Imperial Fists)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Gritty Combatant:
When making close combat attacks, Brother Captain Hundert ignores the Specialist Weapon special rule.

Shadow Captain Rau
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(Ravens Guard)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Eyes of the Raven:
Shadow Captain Rau's Shooting Attacks have the Precision Shots and Ignores Cover special rules.

Iron Captain Ćead Duine
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(Iron Hands)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
More Machine than Man:
Once per turn, Iron Captain Ćead Duine may reroll one Feel No Pain roll or It Will Not Die roll.

The White scars captain feels a little weak IMO. Just give him HoW all the time. The other ones look okay.

So he was actually supposed to be an Ultramarines special character? Makes it a little less sad that I missed him then...

I was debating that. Will change it. I also added the Iron Hands character.

Marshal Cant(Black Templars)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Chapter Tactics(Black Templars)
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Righteous Fury:
Marshal Cant and his unit gain the Furious Charge special rule.

Brother Captain Suta(Blood Angels)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Furious Charge
Replace Hail of Bolter Fire with the following:
Unfettered Assault:
Brother Captain Suta and his unit gain the Relentless special rule.

Company Master Dofurcas(Dark Angels)
As Brother Captain Centos
Replace Chapter Tactics(Ultramarines) with Grim Resolve
Add the Deathwing special Rule
Twin-pronged Approach:
Company Master Dofurcas and his unit ignore the penalty for Disordered Charges and can reroll one or both dice when determining charge range.

Fixed Company Master Dofurcas to have the Deathwing rule. Anyone see any other issues with any of the characters?

Could I chime in for the Wolves?

Battle Leader Ceud (one hundred from scottish gaelic according to google translate)
Captain Centos stats, Wolf guard battle leader point cost
Replace hail of bolter fire with this special rule: "For the Wolf Time!" Everyone within 12" of Battle Leader Ceud gets +1 A for one turn. This can only happen once per game.

How's that?

All of the Captains and their derivatives are 90 pts. They are free upgrades to a basic Captain. Their Power Fist and Special Rule are free. I will try to figure out what to do for the Wolf Lord, but your idea seems pretty cool. I am less familiar with Space Wolves (despite owning a small force of them) and have zero experience with Grey Knights.

I went with a battle leader because all of the great companies have existing wolf lords, so I thought that was the best alternative. So bump up Ceud's price to 90 points but keep his Centos stats so he's balanced and the fluff still makes sense.

For GK perhaps...

Brother Champion Saratus
Centos Stats, 90 points
Replace Centos' special rule with "The Emperor Protects!"; Increase all nearby Grey Knight models invulnerable save by one. This ability happens at the start of the turn and may be only used once per game.

All of the Space Marine Chapters have existing Captains in all of their Companies as well. It isn't a hindrance to me.

The GK version would have to be based on the base Bro Captain since it wouldn't make sense for him to not be psychic like the rest of his chapter. But that ability is a neat addition.

Right, maybe increase him to ml 1 for 20 points?

Naw, he would get ML1 instead of Chapter Tactics. A bit of a lopsided trade, but then he could have a little less potent special ability.

Okay, suggestion for a toned down ability?

Perhaps just give him +1 to his Invulnerable save? It basically is a Storm Shield.

That feels very underwhelming though considering what he gives as an ultramarine. The effect needs to be not on himself, but his army to be good IMO.

That is certainly true. Most of the abilities I have made do affect the group. I will think some more on it.
