Personally, I'd like to for the Chapter to rule the system more...closely, and so a fortress would be something I'd like.

[Riccto]

If no one has any objections, I will try to whip up some colours and heraldry. I will be basing my work on the colours and heraldry of chapters with similar names, since we do not know who is our progenitor.

Also, we need to decide wheter we remain fleet-based or do we build our fortress monastery in this system.

Wunderbar!

[Loud Whispers]

Or turning a planet into a moving fortress planet ship thing. Awesome.

Sounds Orky.

Would something like

Be more your thing?
Although it would be quite the adventure getting hold of one.

[Ardas]

Here are two designs that I came up with. Feel free to criticise and choose between them. Colours, arrangment and so on.

I like the second one most, although I'd make the chest piping grey and the knee pads red.

Also, posting to watch and occasionally butt in.

Something like that?

Yes   Although I meant to include the pipes on the abdomen as well, as grey.

Apparently I have nothing better to do apart from painting SPESS MEHREENS.

But there you go.

Awesomesauce. I think we have our chapter colours

[Ardas]

BTW Micelus, If we are to stick to Codex, it would work better if we simply said that we send 4th company with an additional detachment of x or something. if we keep listing everything we will get bogged down in micro quite quickly.

[Riccto]

Oh lawd.
 Splitting up the commands into companys would cut out alot of the Micro I encountered in putting together this turn ( Coming Soon (TM) Also, If you re-do your commands in company format it would allow you guys to reroll some of the horrific rolls you got. And they were BAD.)

[yourfears]

i doubt im the only 1 unclear here but are we breaking it into the different company's with various assets or are we waiting for you to do so?

[Ardas]

If you have a look at a typical chapter organization as set out by Codex Astartes:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Codex_Astartes#.TyvY8oE1RF0

Then you will see that the type, purpose and division of chapter into companies is already established.

As such we don't need to say : i'm sending 30 x marines, 20 y marines and 50 z marines there, you just say "i'm sending 4th company with a addition of techmarine and so on.
E: since we have a lot of equipment, but our numbers are under a 1000, every company will be smaller than usual. But we need to train people up.

[Kashyyk]

Alright, I've taken it upon myself to create The Thunder Knight's Organization.

I have made a couple of assumptions. We already have crew for the vehicles/Ships for example. And I haven't distributed the Fleet at all.

I've followed the Codex Astartes as much as I could, remembering we don't have any warbikes, veterans, Dreadnoughts, (I assume only Grimnar's got Terminator Armour) and no apothecary's either(!)
