General Notes about Space Marines
both Loyal and Traitor
Chaos / Traitor:
If you are doing Traitor Legions you are NOT using Chaos Space Marines. You are using
Space Marines. You have not lost this war and started The Long War
yet. You are still more or less normal Space Marines. You follow, at this time, the same
Codex as the loyal Space Marines.
Space Wolf, Blood Angels, Dark Angels
& Ultra Marines
Most of the special powers that your chapters had after this war do not exist as yet.
These 4 legions have a some what different army list than the rest, but in the whole they
are still normal legions. In particular the following notes apply to these 4 legions.
Space Wolves: You don't have Great Companies yet. You still follow the Codex, like all other marines. You have unlimited access to drop pod detachments, but limited access to ground transport. Your Marines are not yet divided into Long Fangs, Grey Hunters & Blood Claws. You have the same types of marines as any other Space Marine legion does.
Blood Angels: You do NOT have the Death Company as yet. You, however tend toward Assault Marines.
Dark Angels: Your first battalion in a given Regiment is different from the Codex. This battalion is what will become your Death Wing and Raven Wing
Ultramarines. Not only are you NOT the standard from which all other Marines are derived from, your army list has the greatest change from the then current Codex, as you tend to be Armor Regiments, not Infantry Regiments.
