No, it's removed at certain points anyways (5 and ten years IIRC).Tyyr wrote:I anything stopping the brothers from making a direct deposit of the old gene-seed?
The Clans of BT use artificial wombs so you could work that into here. The breeding programs of the Clans are VERY strict. Very fitting for the use of the SM. Hell, you could even work that whole thing into your chapter if you wanted.Cpl Kendall wrote:With that revelation I think I'll make it a common practice for brothers to be inducted and serve together, kind of hard to work fathers in there unless they offer free IVF or something to the locals but stranger things happen in the Imperium.

Yeah, the fluff is pretty inconstant with what their called (the SW novels call the Free Men or something), hard to remember it all.Deepcrush wrote:The Death Guard, White Scars, Ultramarines and Space Wolves all use Housecarls. So, it seems fitting.
That could work. The Ghost Bears in BT have Oath Masters that act in much the same fashion as Chaplains in 40k. They had only one per Galaxy (or every 475 warriors, nearly half a chapter). They had a medic in every Star (squad) and operated in large scale hit and run attacks.Cpl Kendall wrote:I might fold the Chaplains in with the Apothecaries, I'm not sure yet. I was never really sold on them in the first place.
That makes a lot of sense for Ghost Bears.I'm thinking a large number of Gladius frigates (one per DC basically) with some Strike Cruisers and a Battlebarge held in reserve, though the thought of a wandering Battlebarge recruiting Ice World natives appeals to me as well.
