@Lord Coake@Roosan@Jbcool What Jb says is accurate: they could be altered to become more powerful than normal humans in canon, just not as explicitly superhuman as an Astartes is. That was actually the basis of Luther's fall to jealousy, and thus Chaos, so take that as you will. Anyway, adults can become Space Marines in this game thanks to Emperor biology changes, with the advantages of more experience and less chance of death than children and teenagers, but a subsequently slower rate of individual conversion due to puberty not being exploitable for having already passed.

I don't *think* I'm a bad person. I might be wrong there. I try not to be, even when I screw it up for want of social awareness.

Hello, I am me from the internet. I migrated here from Kongregate's Forum Games Forum, so feel free to look for me there if you wish to follow a career in internet stalking people. (ಠ_ಠ) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A link to some of my past characters, which I need because static tabs do not take up internet.
“I really don’t follow how your faith believes its perfectly acceptable to doom 4,000 years plus of sentient beings, on a pre-set path of no escape from sin, just so their descendants can be offered the ‘chance of salvation’ when the god murders its own son.”

“Don’t be an ass or a pussy, ’lest you get screwed by life. Being a mouth or a hand is somewhat safer, and an eye socket is pretty much sacred in this regard, so always keep a look out.”

@Hank Just a quick pointer, to you as well as to everybody else, but it is not possible to convert adult humans into Space...-
...or is it? I suppose, given that the Emperor-fragment performed comparatively huge modifications to the New-New Man's biology, that it might have taken into account at some point the possibility of wanting to add adult humans into the ranks of the Astartes when the time came, since doing that would vastly expand the field of possible Space Marine candidates. Alternatively, that modification could have happened completely by chance. Either way, though... you know what? Yes, adult humans can be converted into Space Marines in this, as a result of the Emperor's altered biology. I'll go ahead and add that to the Extra Information in the first post, shall I?

@Lord Coake It's specifically Marines only.
@Drifting Pollen Sounds like a good plan to me, though there are a fair few RPs where you can be a hero or a villain floating around as-is.
@Specter189 Oh, right, the whole Ultramar thing. I kind of figured, but... I mean, there isn't necessarily an explicit rule against it, given the loophole that a Legion/Chapter ruling a single planet isn't illegal even if it's the capital of a whole bunch of other planets? It's just the timing is kind of important when planning on setting up your empire-with-an-empire. Doing it in the middle of a civil war isn't good timing.
@Specter189 Uh. You're going to have to explain what you mean by that. I can't say I've heard that term before.
@Savage Actually, it turns out most of the Legions in canon had substantially more than 10000 members for most of their run, and only a few had less than that; the highest was the Ultramarines, with a frankly staggering 250000 members, whilst some seven or eight other Legions had more than 100000 members at the time the Horus Heresy began. With that in mind, I'm not going to put any direct limit on how high a Legion's strength can be, though I recommend you keep it sensible; a million Astartes isn't going to happen, no matter how hard you beg for it.
@Roosan I read something about that being partially the Custodes' job. Anyway, I've added a request to list your Primarch's Assignment level into the Skills section of the Primarch's sheet, and I've actually added two things to the Legion sheet: the previously-mentioned Dramatis Personae, and a section noting the Legion's size, how many Astartes are actually present in its ranks. So, uh, if everybody could please modify their sheets accordingly, that'd be wonderful, thank you.
Kinda makes you wonder if unplugging the golden toilet is actually a good idea in the long run
Aside from the galaxy-sized Warp rift the Emperor's death is theorised to produce due to his absurd power, it probably would be just great. Anyway, since people agree with both things, I'll add in the appropriate sections to the appropriate sheets. Hold on a moment, folks.
