Chapter master was on a frigate with first company in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, didnt spot him on the first turn (The only time all your splintered fleets are shown to you), and six turns of skipping through warp-travel elsewhere later got into a rousing bout of space combat with a Tau battlefleet. RIP the Unlucky Bastards.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but every time I deploy my guys, I also carry a small contingent of Sisters, but they never show up on the battle screen.

Spoiler: That's because they're not fighting. (click to show/hide)

Also, new bug:

I can no longer engage in ground combat, because the system gives me error messages.

That, and my wounded marines simply won't heal, even with apothecaries and hospitallers around.

Can anyone explain to me where the Chaplains/Apothecaries/Techmarines/Librarians are trained from? Are they being pulled out of the scouts in 10th company or are they taking people from other companies, or maybe they just leech off the neophyte list?

I believe they are taken from the 1-9th companies or exclusively from the Veterans.

Is there any reason not to have loads of MediMarines? You can equip them just like normal dudes, they don't seem to have malus fighting and they heal buddies.

Maybe I should make a Red Cross chapter where everyone is a medic. Refugee aid with bolters, bitches.

[Rolepgeek]

Beyond the requisition required to train them? No, not really.

Same can be said of Techmarines and Chaplains, really. Librarians are the iffy ones.

[snowdrifts]

Techmarines are a bit harder than Apothecaries and Librarians, because they're somewhat dependent on the AdMech liking you. (Though you'd think having a tonne of Techmarines WOULD make them like you.)

I like two have two of each specialist in each company, and then 10 additional + Master. And then I shove my Lexicanums and Codiceries into companies, in the hopes they'll grow into actual Librarians, one day.

But the Red Cross chapter idea - has anyone noticed if having lots of Apothecaries, and/or having lots on your homeworld prevents or reduces instances of gene-seed mutation?

[frankensteins poster]

They also don't count against the 1000 marine limit so I poop them out by the bucketload. Chaplains, Techmarines, Apothecaries that is. Librarians aren't worth using I think, they keep fucking exploding and their powers are weak.

So... Techmarines fix vehicles and Apothecaries fix people. (And, of course Librarians give them a reason to be fixed) What do chaplains do?

[UXLZ]

Fix !heresy! the most important thing that must always be fixed. By a good preaching or by a good blamming, it must be done.

Shit. I have a large pool of scouts but with little opportunity to give them experience enough to boost them up to first company. If specialists are taken from 1-9, it's going to get screwy for me.

Give 'em good weapons (often sniper don't ever fire...) like heavy blaster, and send them to clear tiny infestations by themselves or small infestations with help from another coy (I like the 1st).
If you "dilute" them by always attacking with the whole chapter they'll never gain enough XP.
