I keep reading with passion and interest.

Just don't be confused about "newcomer" meaning. I LOVE WH40k, so is right: i read those posts since 2013.

But i have not lot of times to read stuff (only 6 novels) and i'm pretty ignorant about entire chunks of lore.

So we can say that i'm and i'm not a newcomer: both statement could be true.

I would like to thank the Contributor for a very good hint: i tend to forget that WH40k was born as a tabletop game, so, apart from lore, surely the codex astartes brings great benefits when we speak about painting and making armies (shame on me, i have to wait my necx life to even get close to the action figues).

Still, i would love to see some exception to codex when it comes to face exceptionally dangerous situations, like a Hive Fleet. Some sort of appendix to the Codex allowing founders chapters to take command and officially joint operation with some of their successors, forming units bigger than 1000 Astartes.

Introducing a new formation called cohort (as the roman coorte...yup i'm roman!).

Cohort were formed in the roman empire by 5000 legionaries.

I'm sure that in some very special and dangerous occasions some high command (Ordo Malleus?) could allow the forming of 5000 Astartes Cohort, bounding Founders and some successors as a whole untill the threat is no more.
