Everyone seems to want to do Grey Knights as a bonus chapter custom rules and that's well and fine, however there is no real way to balance a GK in the deathwatch, so far as everyones posts have pretty much agreed, GK's would be too powerful.
So I started thinking about other obscure chapters that aren't mentioned as of yet and I came up with Imperial Fists, White Scars, Salamanders, Iron Hands, and Raven Guard. Well I figure all of those chapters will probably be represented at some point so I tried to think of ones that might not make it into a book and decided Blood Ravens might be a good start to that list.
Now unfortunately, not a whole lot is really known about the Blood Ravens other than they have a high level of psykers in their number and are very prone to corruption by chaos.
Organizationally the Blood Ravens Mirror most other chapters with a mix of all types of marines at their disposal. So we know there won't be any restrictions on specialties.
For starting character stat bonuses I am unsure of where to even begin other than librarians possibly starting with +1 or +2 Psy rating as a chapter bonus. Anyone have solid suggestions for this chapters starting stats?
Hopefully with enough help this post can be used to make a unified version between the posters of what we all feel is not only balanced but appropriate for the chapter, and if it gets to that point I will personally type the whole thing up and post it in a PDF for everyone to use.
