Greetings all, I am a newish player and I have been collecting for a while, but due to work and general lack of time I seldom play. I've been thinking about collecting an all Primaris based chapter so I started researching what that would entail. Specifically, I was interested in a variant fleet based chapter of the Raven Guard as I think Corax is my favorite of the Primarchs. Anyway, I know nothing of the Battle fleet gothic lore, and I only know enough to be dangerous about Battle Barges. However, I do know that a Chapter is made up of 1000 fighting Marines, so here is my take of the number troops that would make up my Primaris Space Marine Chapter. Now I think that the Rank structure is fine but I'm an old military guy and officers in general were never counted in the numbers of the unit. So, I would have 3 supreme commanders like the Ultramarines in that there would be a Chapter Master, a High Librarian, and a Master of Sanctity. I would have 4 Brigades. with a captain, a librarian, a chaplain and 4 Lieutenants in the HQ. I would have 12 Units of 10 Intercessors with 2 sgts in each squad so that I could split them into 5 man fighting teams. a total of 4 squads of 10 reivers, 4 squads of both Aggressors and Inceptors at max of 6 units per squad. I would have 4 10 man Hellblaster Squads, and an ancient and an apothecary in each to equal 250 troops per Brigade. No way that I can imagine buying let alone painting this massive number of troops..but then I started to think about the support vehicles and I came up with about 25 Repulsor transports per Brigade, and of course no fighting force would go into battle without a few airwings to provide close air support..and then I remembered Redemtor Dreadnaughts..so I rationalized that being that this was a freshly minted Primaris Chapter hot off the presses on Mars ..I figured what they did was provide Dreadnaught chassis to inter space marines that fall during the campaigns so I had about 40 dreadnaughts ready to be put into battle to support the troops as they take casualties and while the await new recruits from Mars or wherever they are brought in from..So there ya have it..space marine Chapter REX of the Rift Slalkers line of Primaris space Marines....However, my marines would be painted Dark Green with Black because only idiots wear white to war.

I know. I think to much. But its been a bone I've been picking at for the better part of a week and I just wanted to write it down..what do you folks think of it? Am I daft? Would you do things differently?

Yes you are daft, but I love it! So is this just fluff for your chapter? What do you actually intend to actually buy and build?

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

I intend to build the Brigade and eventually have all the vehicles as well. Its a huge undertaking, but it will give me something to look forward to and of course keep me interested in the hobby.

If I manage to buy and build a whole chapter I'll post it to show it off..I like the Dark Green and Black armour scheme, but now I have to figure out how I'm going to do unit crests and such..I think I can buy Raven Guard transfers from Forge World..of course by the time I get around to building these things those donkey-caves at GW will come out with new models I'll have to buy too......
