Index Astartes: The Matamatas - Organisation |
|
The Matamata Chapter organisation follows the Codex Astartes laid down by Roboute Guilliman loosely, with the Chapter
comprising of 10 Companies.
Unlike other Chapters, the Tenth Company is not a scout company. The scout essentials of patience, location, and accuracy can be found in all Space Marines of the Chapter for those are the qualities required to successfully hunt a Matamata. As such, any Space Marine can function as a scout and squads are called upon to be scouts as and when required. The First Company does not comprise of veterans like other Codex Chapters. Veterans are split among the various Companies to lead and serve as sources of inspiration, much as life on Kopjes was, with Space Marines serving as inspiration among the tribesmens. In addition, Space Marines can be transferred from squad to squad or Company to Company as and when required. The spirit of cooperation which has always been strong among the different tribes on Kopjes remain among the different Space Marine squads. All these makes for a lot of flexibility and enables the Companies to operate independently of one another. The environment on Kopjes is unconducive to training for high speed attacks or using the anti-grav Land Speeders. Hence, the Chapter is unable to field many of these specialised fast attack units. |
