I completely agree with the point on the Space Wolves as well. Since their geneseed is too unstable and the one attempt they did make at the successor game was a complete disaster.

As for the Salamanders part, I merely think it would be better to have a defined paramater than to have one that is grey. I do agree that there is a chance of successors, but their geneseed has a high chance of mutation (90%) and would be risky to use. Seeing as the chance of mutation on Space Wolves is 75% then surely Salamanders would be just as unlikely as candidates for a viable successor? Both of those stats are taken from the Sixth Edition Space Marines Codex.

An issue that I finally think needs to be resolved is that of the Loyalist Traitors as it has mainly been an unwritten rule that veteran users have agreed to due to long memories of past incidents. However. new users are not aware of the past tribulations with Thegreatbeing and Gobba42 so I think it should be in the policy for their benefit.

Anyway, I digress. That's just my two-cents on the matter and I do see where you are coming from, Supah.
