Codex Astartes: Supplement for the Chapters

Also, just a quick warning to any would-be Space Marine players out there:

DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE FORMATIONS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL CODEX.
these formation dataslates are useless. All the formations in the dataslates are already in the main codex and give you nothing new for your army. it is a waste of money.

The only exception to this is Tyrannic War Veterans. That's actually a new formation.

Personally, I think nothing is wrong with it. I've been a Crimson Fists player my entire gaming career, and would be playing Raptors as my Marine chapter if I didn't go CF. No special snowflake rules for me, not like those OTHER chapters.
