I'm really excited for this! Rules for successor chapters, (hopefully) more toys and goodies for the Templars and Storm Wardens. *crosses fingers*

Why can't I buy this yeeeeeeeeetttttt!!!!?!??!

Flesh Tearers!!!

Honestly, keep the products rolling. My bacnk account can keep it. Why not have a book for each founding. At least have one for the 21st Cursed founding if you want to have some interesting characters.

I was wondering when this one would get announced.

The preview is very thin on details, so there's not a lot I can say. 'Wealth' of Relics is an understatement IMO.

I hope we get some more previews of this over the coming weeks, because this book is dense. A great logical 'next step' after First Founding.

BYE

Excellent. First Founding was a great supplement, and a book of Successors should be just as good. I wonder how the Twenty-Third Founding's terrible luck will be represented?

Here it is, the 4th book that constitutes the Core rulebook (as I see it, anyway! I can't live without RoB and First Founding!). This is fantastic. I've hoped for a sort of "Rites of Battle pt. 2" book, and here it is. Sexy. So much sexy.

Are my hopes too high when I think they might include the Iron Snakes Chapter in this supplement?

I'm more looking forward to get a Mentor Chapter marine. Knowledge is power!

I wish they would tackle on the Legion of the Damned. That would be some interesting chars to have in the DeathWatch. Let's hope some of the designers tackled on this one!

The DW timeline would allow for Astral Claws to still contribute to the ranks of the Deathwatch...

There is, in fact, an Astral Claws Watch Captain with stat blocks and all in Jericho Reach (the book, obviously).

I was amused by that when I oticed that, and then checked the date which indeed sets it before the Badab War.

Likewise (refering to Astral Claws posts) these would be Fire Hawks at this point.

I think we all have a few chapters we're hoping to see, Black Templars and Black Dragons for me. The important thing is not to be too dissapointed if they don't appear.

I think it would be fairly reasonable to expect some of the "big names" such as the Crimson Fists, more Black Templars, Storm Wardens, etc.

Maybe the Rainbow Warriors?

We wants it my precious!

Sorry, wrong game system. But we does! Maybe not *quite* enough to be biting fingers, but not much less.

Yeah there are WAY too many flavorful chapters to cover in one book. I hope, at the very least, that aside from deeper write-ups of successor chapters and their gear, we get even more options to add to the RoB chaptergen tables, especially vis a vis big-name successor chapters that have not and will not be fully fleshed out.

Not to rain on your parade, but (as someone mentioned before, I believe) Deathwatch takes place before the creation of the LotD. At this point in time, they would still be the Fire Hawks.

It would still be awesome if they put in rules, though!

Oh snap!

I'd love a Raptors write-up, as well as some of the chapters who don't know their primogenitor (Blood Ravens, Carcharodons, and Mentor Legion come to mind).

Gaire said:

Yeah, I agree. It would be pretty sweet with having an update to accomidate for making a Chapter with an unknown Parent Chapter as well.

I'm holding out for the Emperor's Pointy Sticks. Even got the marine painted up for it.

Gurkhal said:

I don't know how they'd be treated strangely in a mechanical sense. The Storm Wardens don't know who their progenitor is after all.

Its probably that English isn't my native language but I'm not following you right now. Would it be possible for you to elaborate?

All I mean is that I don't know what kind of an "update" is needed to create a chapter that doesn't know what its parent is. I don't think additional rules are needed for it. The Storm Wardens are already a Chapter who doesn't know who their parent Chapter is after all.
