Since this is a place for what we'd like to see in the future I'll put this here. I had a very well written and lengthy post written, but unfortunately my computer crashed and I've not the time to rewrite it nor the memory of everything I'd written. I'll do my best to summarize.

The removal of doctrines, incomplete as they were, leaves me saddened. It is as if a level of depth and uniqueness was lost despite not much progress having been made on the system in the first place. Where once there was room for expansion and improvement with each doctrine modifying the core strategy of the space marines by leaning heavily on one of their aspects and even altering their hero units they now feel immutable. Space marines will just be space marines, and (aside from the legion of the damned option) they will always be JUST space marines. Were it my choice, I would have kept the chapter tactics, incomplete as they were, for the possibility of one day expanding on them. But I am not making the choices and I understand why. So instead I'll sit here and wait, looking to the future and hoping one day they return, for they were little, but glorious to me at the least.

Ditto, this would be a great feature.

Considering how other mods are coming out with new assets and units, chapter doctrines could in theory make a return and simply allow for model swaps of existing units (Space Wolves = Rune Priests, No use of Servitors with Black Templar, Hoods with Dark Angels, etc)


I think this would be a simple fix and would be able to be implemented with relatively little dev time
