Grey Knight Brotherhood Creation Table

Since creating a Grey Knight Successor that functions similarly to the Grey Knights Chapter would force a multitude of lore conflicts, these creation tables are a way to be creative within the Chapter itself. For this reason these tables are used to create a 9th Brotherhood to the Chapter. For those unfamiliar to Grey Knights this would be similar to adding an additional company to a Space Marine Chapter. Finally, these tables will also focus on the number of units in the Brotherhood, because many of the lore aspects are difficult to introduce without noticeable conflict. As per my 'creature feature' creation tables, these number tables are big on "stats driving the lore."

This is currently a difficult work in progress.

Brotherhood Origin/Secrecy

Brotherhood Origin (d10)
1-8	The Brotherhood was created after the 9th Astartes (Knight-Errant) picked by Malchador at the time of the Grey Knight's inception.
9-10	The Brotherhood was formed a time after the Grey Knight's inception, as growing needs for it were confirmed. There is no founding Heresey era Astartes.

How secretive are they? (d6)
1-4	They are known to the Chapter as well as the Ordo Malleus. They are as secret as other Brotherhoods, and may often be used by the Inquisition.
5-6	They are known only to the Chapter itself, though possibly ostracized by the rest of the Chapter. They rarely join the Inquisition and if so remain quiet about their origins.

If you notice I strategically formed and "I" after the first section...

Identity

Brotherhood Ages (d6)
1-2	Many upstarts. They may be here as punishment, but probably because they show great promise.

Brotherhood By the Numbers

Remember, all Squads are 5 man and every brotherhood has 1 Brother Captain and 1 Brotherhood Champion. (For anons, you can also roll the first 4 d20's at once if you want to speed up the creation) Using these tables, a fairly accurate number can be gained for the number of Knights you have.

Specialty

Brotherhood Strategy (d12)
1-3	Overwhelming Force - The Brotherhood excels at charging full force straight into the heart of the enemy. They prefer head to head battles surrounded on all sides.
4-6	Rapid Insertion - Teleportation and fast strikes are the hallmark of the brotherhood. They prefer surprise, and catching the enemy off guard with many pinpoint attacks.
7-9	Intense Firepower - Blasting the enemies from mid range is their specialty. Special Weapons, and psychic blasts are used to shatter resistance before the charge.
10-12	Balanced Attack - The Brotherhood prefers to utilize all units for their specific roles that help to support each other in battle. Teamwork is key.

Preferred Great Enemy (d6)
1	Khorne - Past events, bloodshed, and battles have made the daemons and worshipers of Khorne especially hated among the members of the Brotherhood.
2	Nurgle - The rotten plague and wretched battles against the daemons of Nurgle have caused it to be the most disgusted great enemy of the Brotherhood.
3	Slannesh - The sickening degeneracy and pleasure attacks against the Brotherhood in the past have made Slannesh worshipers and its daemons hated beyond most.
4	Tzeentch - Trickery, mutation, and the psychic powers of these daemons or otherwise have struck the brotherhood in the past. Those that serve Tzeentch be warned.
5-6	Undivided - The Hatred for all Chaos Gods is equal. The Brotherhood has either never been assailed horribly enough by one God, or has simply fought them all equally.
