I've been wantin to create my own army for a bit, so decided to ask how this idea sounds. Well, I love my space marines, and my cchapters name is Delta Guard. But I decided, what if my chapter ruled a planet system??? (Somethin like Ultras) Well, I got the idea that humans in the system under the command of my Delta Guard army might form an army to help defend the system, so the Delta Guard don't have to be worried about defending it all the time. So, go ahead and laugh, but should I stick with the idea of making a diff. kind of human shotting army??? I'm starting the codex for it now.

Normally Marines control a single planet, but logic dictates that they won't sit there and twiddle their thumbs if any other planets in the system come under attack...

also, I believe Marine worlds do still raise PDF (assuming they are civilised enough).

[SMRCommander]

Well, the worlds are civilized. And they don't actually rule the planets; i messed up a bit. They rule a planet in a system thats pretty populated. But they are more involved in the system then most would think; they defend it about all the time. Also, a good amount of their Space Marines come from their. Also, the Delta Guard has a small fortress on each planet to ensure they can defend the planet good. They have a planet, though, full of large fortress acting as their homeworld.

I don't see why not, especially if they were one of the Ultramarines' successor chapters. Where in the Imperium did you plan on siting your mini-empire?

[SMRCommander]

not sure...i rly don't know a whole lot bout where the planet sytems are...obviuosly, i need help

It actually sounds quite good. From the sounds of it, the civilised worlds etc, I would assume that it is not too close to the Eye of Terror. Whilst I would have said make it near the Tau, Ultramar would be the dominating Marine presence. How about towards the 'South' of Terra...WG?

You could put them somewhere north of the Tau.* Not much out that way, so rent would be low, but you would stand to get eaten by Tyranids in the very near future. I assume that would descrease your property value somewhat.

If I knew anything about Space Marines.....

It would be a good idea ;D

[Wargamer]

Well I doubt any force could get a level of control the Ultramarines possess... but as I said, one system sounds reasonable.

As for galactic location... civilised worlds turn up everywhere, so put it wherever you want.

To represent it you could create an army of mixed IG and Space Marines... I think you can do that. Outfit the IG as Planetary Defense Force sort of thing, have a small planitary garrison of SMs...
