Azorius Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Dark Angels: Host-Order-Chapter-Company-Squad. Six Ordinations are incorporated and integrated into 'normal' organization - each Legionary is belonged to one of the Ordinations. A number of special, idiosyncratic formations. If the Thousand Sons have the Five Fold Cults and the Red Orders, the Dark Angels will have the Six Ordinations and the...whatsoever, amalgamation of the Terran and the Caliban military traditions? I suspect at least one of the void warfare and operation specialized formation. Extremely convoluted, esoteric, byzantine organization structure - both are common traits of the Thousand Sons and the Alpha Legion. Blood Angels: Chapter/Dominion?-Company-Squad. Simple but elegant, streamlined and structured. Certain formations are very specialized(ex; the First Chapter, aka. Hell Riders). Far cry from ad-hoc formations of the Luna Wolves. As the proponent of the Librarius Project, psychic legionaries form specialized structure and fully incorporated into 'normal' organizational structure. That would be the cornerstone of the modern Librarius. Lamentii honor guardians and some other formations are serve as independent elements. And oh please, no more silly 'Three Hundred Companies'. White Scars: Very loose and flexible. Horde-Brotherhood-Squad? It could not be sure. Probably resemble Mongol Horde. That is my brainstorming. Any speculation and conjecture?

Rangaman Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think the Luna Wolves aren't so much "Ad-Hoc" as they are supremely talented at organisation and fluid warfare. Case. Closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which term would be more pertinent for the Luna Wolves do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Klip Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 As funny as that remark is Rangs, let's help the guy out. Saying that, I don't have any answers, just questions. What makes you think the blood angel organisation will be streamlined, aren't they just as superfluous, albeit in a more natural way, as the IIIrd legion?

Lord Asvaldir Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Dark Angels organization can't quite be just broken down into the six wings, it's a bit more complicated than that. For starters the six wings are deathwing (terminator elite), ravenwing (focused on speed, bikes/jetbikes), deathwing (chemical warfare, heavy rad/phosphex weapon use), ironwing (mechanized formations), and stormwing and firewing, both of which I've never actually seen come up in any FW or black library book so I'm not exactly sure what their specializations are. The thing is though, the impression I got from reading Angels of Caliban is that not every single legionary is actually part of a wing. The wings exist outside the normal command structure and are just brought in for use in certain scenarios, such as in the book when the Lion el Johnson made extensive use of the deathwing. Really did just seem like byzantine command structure that didn't have a formal system dictating how the wings exactly fit into chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova_Dew Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 As far as we know the BA's are Chapter, Company, battalion, squad and why not the 300 companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think he means where the only organization was the 300 companies, which I would agree with him, it's stupid to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova_Dew Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Then by that the is the LW/SoH using only companies stupid? Both legions come from worlds where small groups are the norm, LW's from a gang lead world, BA's from a Tribal lead world it's only natural that that carries over. It also depends on how the BA's were deployed through the crusade fleets, if it was mostly companies spread out among a lot of fleets then being no bigger then companies kinda makes sense. But it's up to GW, BL and FW and not us. As long as they explain the organisation I'll be just happy to have full rules for the legion (without the Tank restriction i hope (since book 6 says they have a full panoply of war) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
