Hello fellow chaos followers,

I was just wandering if a Space Marine keep is bonus when he become a soldier of chaos. When you look at page 46 of Deathwatch for example, they say that a Dark Angel gain + 5 ballistic,+ 5 intelligence and Stoic Defense Solo Mode. So in theory, a Dark Angel going Chaos will keep is bonus + 1 talent and skill per 1000 Xp . Am i right or wrong?

I'm assuming that by this you mean switching over to Black Crusade: If you're still playing in Deathwatch, well, you might lose the use of chapter trappings, and its possible your solo/cohesion abilities no longer really apply?, but if BC, you should probably redo the character as a chaos space marine instead.

Their chapters give +5 to two stats, which is well above what the prides and motivations grant [plus without the penalties], their power armor histories are different [some weaker, some way better], start with more wounds… Fate points instead of Infamy…Deathwatch is very high powered characters from the start, but, at the same time, horrific xp costs that screw with you in the long run.

Besides: falling to chaos isn't just "well, got all my big loyalist training and bonuses… time to become a chaos marine". You've basically broken through the Insanity 100 ceiling to get there, so something probably had to give at some point.

As mentioned deathwatch is much higher powered. If you want a high powered BC game criss cross as desired. Otherwise, the rules for converting over are designed to bring your DW character down to BC levels of power.

Thanks for the answers
