Hi all.

My slow march towards an imperium army is still going with my space marines but still never brought them to the tabletop as I only prefer to play with painted models and they bore me so much!

Anyways, on reviewing the rules to help decide what to get next, I can’t get my head around custom chapters. Specifically, the super doctrine side of things.

I know that I can be a main chapter, I know I can be custom and select my own perks, but what are the restrictions, if any, on super doctrines? Eg, can I go fully-customised and pick my benefits and super doctrine? Or do I have to limit myself to that main or successor force?

Eg, if I select duellists and born heroes, could I then select the ultramarines super doctrine? Or would I have to use the ultramarines chapter traits to get their super doctrine?

You have to select a parent chapter, and you will use their super doctrine. So yes, you can be an Ultramrines successor with custom traits and the Ultramarine super doctrine. Note that you can't use the Utramarine named characters (or any unit that is explicitly Ultramarine on its datasheet) and you can't use Ultramarine relics (unless you use the stratagem that explicitly let's you access them), but you do get access to Ultramarine special issue wargear.
