Gene-seed Deficiencies
1
Hyper-stimulated Omophagea: Having tasted the flesh of the foe once, the Chapters Battle-Brothers
develop an addiction to the processes allowed by the Omophagea. A player character confronted with
the opportunity to partake of the flesh of a fallen enemy must pass a Challenging (+0) Willpower Test or
do so immediately, whether he wants to or not.
2
Oversensitive Occulobe: The organ that allows the Space Marines to see in low light conditions has
become overly sensitised, working exceptionally well in the dark but suffering in full light conditions.
The character can see in total dark as if it were merely low light, and low light as if it were full light.
However, should he remove his helmet in full light conditions he will suffer 10 to all Awareness Tests.
3
Mutated Catalepsean Node: The implant that allows the Battle-Brother to enter a half-sleep in which he
can remain alert for danger has become dangerously mutated. The Space Marine is unable to sleep
normally, and stays awake for days, even weeks on end without effect. However, when sleep does come,
sometimes with little or no warning, it is wont to last for many days on end.
4
Oolitic Secretions: The Chapters oolitic kidney function is unbalanced in such a way that the Battle-
Brothers skin is turned an unusual colour due to its secretions. The Space Sharks (for example) have
 grey skin, while the Salamanders is the colour of volcanic rock. A whole range of other colours is
possible, and the more extreme might be viewed by some as a seriously disturbing mutation.
5
Disturbing Voice: Due to a malfunction in or related to the function of the Betchers gland, the
Chapters brethren exhibit unusual vocal characteristics. Some cannot speak above a sibilant whisper for
example, while others have deep, booming voices or speak with an otherworldly cant. Allies might find
the effect disturbing, while enemies are likely to find it truly terrifying. All Space Marines with this
deficiency have the Disturbing Voice Talent.
68
Lost Zygote: One of the Chapters zygotes has entirely ceased to function. Choose one of the Implants
described on page 36 of the DEATHWATCH Rulebook. The in game benefits of this Implant no longer
apply. In some cases the player should agree with the GM exactly what effect this has on the character,
as the effects of some implants are wrapped up in other character abilities, Skills and Talents.
9
Doomed: A Chapter that loses the ability to replicate either the Black Carapace or Progenoid zygotes is
ultimately doomed. Without the former the future generations of Space Marines will not be able to
interface with their power armour, and without the latter there will be no future generations at all. Battle-
Brothers with this mutation are unaffected themselves, but know that unless their Chapters
Apothecaries can affect a cure, they are the very last of their line.
10 Multiple Instabilities: Roll d3 more times on this table, re-rolling multiples of the same result
(including this one).
o Chapter Flaw
1-2 We Stand Alone: chapter is not trusted by other imperial forces.
3-4 Pride in Colors: this chapter takes pride in its colors, presenting them as a banner, and thus resent having
their armor painted.
5-6 Faith in Suspicion: choose another organization (Pillars of the Imperium box on page 117 of the
DEATHWATCH Rulebook) besides space marines, this chapter distrusts and refuses to work with that group
under any circumstance.
7-8 Eye to Eye: chapter is obsessed with killing their enemy face to face.
9-10 Chapter Cult: the chapter praises the emperor and their primarch with exotic and unique rituals even other
space marines may find disgusting or repulsive.
 o Chapter Characteristic Modifiers
1-10 +5 Ballistics Skill and +5 Willpower
11-20 +5 Willpower and +5 Intelligence
21-30 +5 Ballistics Skill and +5 Weapon Skill
31-40 +5 Perception and +5 Strength
41-50 +2 Wounds and +5 to one characteristic of the players choice
51-60 +5 Toughness and +5 Willpower
61-70 +5 Agility and +5 Fellowship
71-80 +5 Perception and +5 Intelligence
81-90 +5 Weapon Skill and +5 Fellowship
91-100 +5 to two characteristics of the players choice
Figures of Legend
o 120 A Battle-Brother seconded from a previous generation Successor or even the First Founding Legion that provided
the new Chapters gene-seed. Roll again on this table to determine what type of warrior he was, rerolling if you get this
result again.
o 2150 Chapter Master
o 5160 Chief Librarian
o 6170 Master of Sanctity
o 7173 Master of the Forge
o 74 Master of the Fleet
o 75 Chief Apothecary
o 7685 Company Captain (roll d10 to determine which company).
o 8690 Squad Sergeant (roll d10 twice to determine company and squad).
o 9099 Battle-Brother (roll d10 twice to determine company and squad).
o 100 A specialist of your choice (Librarian, Chaplain, Techmarine, driver, pilot, etc).
Deeds of Legend
o 125 The figure is remembered as the bane of the Orks, to such an extent that his name is known to the vile greenskins
even to this day.
o 2650 The individual was a stalwart enemy of the servants of Chaos, and slew a Daemon Prince.
o 5170 The hero led a glorious campaign against a rebel army, defeating the foe and bringing an entire sector back into
the light of the Emperor.
 o 7185 The figure led an action against an Eldar craftworld, boarding it and inflicting grievous casualties before
withdrawing. He and his Chapter are especially hated by the pernicious Eldar, for whom the event is still fresh and raw.
o 8690 The hero was lost to his Chapter in a warp accident, yet his descendents have cause to believe he lives still and
may one day return to them in glory.
o 9195 The hero was the first to face some newly discovered alien race, and ultimately responsible for its total
destruction. Centuries later, only the Chapter remembers the name of the race, so utterly was it and its works cast down.
o 96100 The hero led his Chapter in many glorious campaigns, slaying hundreds of the enemys greatest champions. In
the end, he was brought down by treachery within the fold of the Imperium, slain by an assassins turbo-penetrator
round on the field of battle. Just why he was targeted was never discovered, and the Chapter harbours a special hatred
for the servants of the Officio Assassinorum to this day.

o 0130 The Chapter strictly follows the guidelines for combat set down by its parent Chapter. Choose one Squad Mode
Attack Pattern Ability from an existing Chapter.
o 3145 Siege-Breaker: Action: Full Action, Cost: 3, Sustained: Yes. While this ability is in effect, the Battle-Brother
and those within Support Range of him may re-roll Damage rolls against enemies in cover. The second Damage roll
must be accepted.
o 4660 Tactical Finesse: Action: Full Action, Cost: 3, Sustained: Yes. While this ability is in effect, the Battle-Brother
and those within Support Range of him may make one Melee or Ranged attack as a Half Action (the Ranged Attack
may only be made using the single shot rate of fi re) and may then make a Half Move. A character benefiting from this
ability may disengage from an opponent in melee without penalty.

and those within Support Range of him gain the Furious Assault Talent and the Frenzy Talent. At Rank 4, activating

serve as the Chapters traditional weapon. Examples: Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, Melta Gun

Brother from this Chapter would never be caught without such an icon on their person. Example: Chapter Heraldry on a

o 2130 Modified Jump-Pack: Primarily seen in Chapters that favor the Assault Combat Doctrine, Battle-Brothers from
this Chapter modify their Jump-Packs (with a Tech-Marines help of course) to provide a more glorious sight to their
allies and a more terrifying one to their enemies. Examples: Jump-Packs created in different shapes such as angel
wings.
o 3140 Beastial Companion: More common among those Chapters whose origins come from Feral Worlds, this
Chapter prides itself on raising hunting animals to assist in battle. Examples: Fenrisian Wolf, hunting birds.
o 4150 Rare Weaponry: Whether through the blessing of the Adeptus Mechanicus or sheer good fortune, this Chapter
has a large stock of weaponry that is considered rare amongst the other Chapters. It is seen as a symbol of honour to
wield one of these weapons in battle. Examples: Astartes Assault Cannon, Digital Weapons.
o 5160 Blessed Wargear: It is common for members of this Chapter to have their Wargear blessed by a Chaplain before
battle. Doing so puts the Battle-Brothers mind at ease and more focused on the task at hand.
 o 6170 Special Mount: While other Chapters may keep animals as companions, this Chapter uses them for what they
were intended fortransportation. Examples: Fenrisian Wolf, Carnodon, very angry Grox.
o 7180 Special Vehicle: This Chapter prefers to ride into battle in more modern conveyances. While the traditional
Space Marine vehicle is the Rhino, other Chapters may use more rare vehicles as primary transport. Examples:
