Can't believe no one was suggested Dave, everyone knows a Dave so it's no surprise that he would become a chapter master.

I unfortunately went the Latin route for mine but he is a Smurf, who I see as Roman.

Daegon I you not, that's an actual Astartes name I once found in the BL. Sounds pretty fethin' good for a badass like a Chapter Master.

Hmm then again maybe Horus is the best name for a complete badass. Though I do vaguely remember someone else having that name... Oh well it's not like it's the name of the most hated traitor in the imperium or anything, right?

Doesn't matter how I came by it. Point is, this is the genuine article: a Space Marine bolter. Cursed? Only if you get caught with it. Here, I'll show you how easy it is.

While we're on the subject, how are chapter masters selected? Do they have to win grand victories and rise through the ranks, or do they just pick the marine whose name makes the best pun?

I like the second one more but I think it's closer to the first one. IIRC it's normally the first captain that is chosen but the Chapter Master can say otherwise in his equivilent of a will.

other variations I've seen is that the first captain is implicit the one to take over.

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
