Of course this means I'll probably convert/ kitbash myself up 10 different Captains (only 1-2 of whom I'll ever use) but meh, whatever...

Anyone have any thoughts on parts for Ashor Drakken AKA the Crimson Fists Captain from the 3rd Edition Codex artwork?

As one final aside, do the Crimson Fists maintain a First Company Captain or does Kantor fill that role?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8608073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8608073.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8608333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8608333.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles

According to the wiki, though, the Crimson Fists specifically have a slightly different line-up of captains;

Spoiler:
Lord Hellblade - Noble title accorded by the people of Rynn's World to the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists, who is recognised as a member of the Imperium of Man's feudal nobility with Rynn's World as his demesne. Lord Hellblade is also always the commander of the Chapter's elite Crusade (1st) Company.
High Chaplain - Informal title for the Crimson Fists Reclusiarch who serves as the Master of Sanctity for the Chapter.
Master of the Librarius - The title used by the Chapter's Chief Librarian.
Master of the Technacarum - The formal title used by the Chapter's Master of the Forge.
Master of the Shield - Title held by the Captain of the 2nd Company.
Master of the Line - Title held by the Captain of the 3rd Company.
Master of the Charge - Title held by the Captain of the 4th Company.
Master of the Watch - Title held by the Captain of the 6th Company.
Master of the Gates - Title held by the Captain of the 7th Company.
Master of Blades - Title of the Captain of the 8th Company.
Master of the Siege - Title of the Captain of the 9th Company.
Master of the Shadows - Title of the Captain of the 10th Company.
Master of the Fleet - Rank held by a senior headquarters Astartes of the Chapter with proven void combat experience, rather than a company Captain.
The Chosen - The Chapter's Serfs are made up of failed Astartes Aspirants collectively called "The Chosen," who serve the Chapter in multiple combat support roles. It is from these Serfs that messengers, skilled labourers and even the Chapter Master's Major-Domo are all drawn.


Cross-referencing with Lexicanum, the source seems to be the novel, Rynn's World.

What does Drakken have, wargear wise, in 3rd?

Exactly so.
Master of the Watch (currently Sicarius) has responsibility for the security of the chapter Fortress-Monastery.

Master of the Marches (currently Galenius) has responsibility for the 'marches' - the chapter's territorial claims outside the fortress.

Neither post, for example, would be relevant to a fleet-based chapter, who would probably have multiple sub-variations on the Ultramarine's simplistic Master of the Fleet.

Captain Drakken as the guy in Terminator Armor that died at Kruegerport. The person on the cover of the 3rd Ed. codex is actually Pedro Kantor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8804762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8804762.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles

nope. That's Alessio Cortez. The biggest badarse the CF have.

The tittles differ in non codex chapters and in some codex chapters. (Like the Crimson Fists. Didn't the Black Templars differ to?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8804792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8804792.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles

The abomination that is the Cortez mini appears to have been based on that picture, but GW has stated that the picture was (as obvious) a redo of the RT rulebook cover - and the boss dude in the original bore the markings of Imperial Commander (Chapter Master).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8805452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8805452.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles

Drakken wasn't wearing Terminator Armor or described as such. It sounds more like he was in Artificer armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8805565.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8805565.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles

Cortez has hair, a flat top to be specific, with a white streak slightly off center. He also had a dead eye, not bionics. Look at his character entry in the back of the 3rd Ed. codex, picture of him plain as day.

Should have mentioned that in my original post.

White Dwarf actually did a battle report based on the Kruegerport battle, and Drakken was in Terminator armor. And I wouldn't be so quick to fact check the Rynn's World novel, the author made a reference to the Ork Warboss as the one that killed Captain Alvez at Kruegerport. Alvez died on Rynn's World, and not even at the hands of the warboss.

So there have been a number of titles for Marine Captains (Sicarius is "Master of the Watch" for example) but are these specific to the Ultramarines, or would any Codex Chapter use them? In addition, would Second Company Captain always be Master of the Watch or would it differ between Chapters? I remember seeing a layout of all 10 Ultramarines Captains, but I can't find it in either the 6th or 7th edition Codex.


In the 6th codex, its on the Ultramarine chapter organisation page.

You have plenty of titles though,

Sicarius, Master of the Watch (Thought to be disciplinary action)
Fabian, Master of the Arsenal (Weapons)
so on so forth.

Most chapters use them, but some Captains have other titles, Sicarius is the High Suzerain of Ultramar or something, Fabian's affectionate name is something to do with Tyranids (His involvement in the Battle of Macragge is undeniably pivotal to the survival of the Ultramarines)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8820862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8820862.page GMT Space Marine Captains' titles http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8821509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/688531/8821509.page GMT
