There is also no way of telling how long it takes for a Neophyte to become an Initiate, so that just makes it even harder to guess. <br /><br />However, I have found something that could give a helpful guide to someone wanting to have an accurate number of Neophytes; it'll be in the next post, so stay tuned. Also in the next post I will be specifically pointing out something that I was trying to show in this one, but forgot to conclude. I guess that's what happens when you finish something a month after starting it.Devjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126096792379344134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064339973020364259.post-90599837515433494222012-02-25T08:36:32.528-08:002012-02-25T08:36:32.528-08:00Thanks for the comment!

The biggest complaint against my list would be that it is too heavy on Terminator Armor, but then, I don't have any vehicles heavier than a Land Speeder and I'm rigged for Deep Strike Assault.<br /><br />Minor quibble, I read the Neophyte "production" rate to be per Chapter Keep and we are purposefully kept in the dark about how many of those there are, so in general, Neophytes are as freely available as you want them to be. If only 1/20 of 1% of the million worlds of the Imperium (IOW 500 worlds) have a Keep, with a production rate of 12 Neos per Keep per year, then you would get 6000 Neophytes each year. <br /><br />The truth of the matter is that just about anything most of us will fight with, even up to the 3k range, is more along the lines of a Fighting Company. Of course, there seems to be no limit, other than the force chart, to what a FC can have. <br /><br />IIRC, isn't there a 60-80 Marine Crusade or was, disappeared after capturing Cypher? Sorry, don't have my codex handy to read it. My point being, the only way I could field 60-80 PA Marines, I doubt it would be very viable.<br /><br />IMO, the biggest issue with Grimaldus isn't the point cost, its trying to use the regular chaplain + chaplain command squad entry to interpret Grimaldus' own entry. <br /><br />Otherwise, have fun with it. 40K is too ad hoc in fluff to worry too much about consistency. One of the best things about the Ultramarine movie, the repartee between the Captain and Apothecary on the approach to the shrine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
