These tables are used to create a 9th Brotherhood to the [[Grey Knights]] Chapter. For those unfamiliar to Grey Knights this would be similar to adding an additional company to a [[Space Marine]] Chapter. As per my 'creature feature' creation tables, there are a few numbers tables. This is also a good starting point if you want to customize your Brotherhood, but don't know where to begin.

*It should be noted that similar tables to these could be made to customize any other Chapter's companies. However, since the Grey Knights are very unique in regards to every unit they field and their lore, it is massively improbable to have a successor using their models. This is unlike those other Chapters. That is the purpose of these tables. They encourage creativity to create a semi-unique force of Grey Knights using their general models and background.

This is currently a difficult work in progress.

==Brotherhood Origin/Secrecy==

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" |Brotherhood Origin (d10)
|-
! 1-6

|-
! 7-10
| The Brotherhood was formed a time after the Grey Knight's inception, as growing needs for it were confirmed. There is no founding Heresy era Astartes.

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

|-

==Brotherhood By the Numbers==

Every brotherhood also has 1 Brother Captain and 1 Brotherhood Champion in addition to these squads. (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==

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" |Overarching Brotherhood Strategy (d12)
|-
! 1-3
| Overwhelming Force - The Brotherhood excels at charging full force straight into the heart of the enemy. They prefer a head on fight with mobilized ground support.
|-
! 4-6
| Rapid Insertion - Teleportation and multi-assaults are the hallmark of the brotherhood. They prefer surprise, and catching the enemy off guard with pinpoint attacks.
|-
! 7-9
| Intense Firepower - Blasting the enemies from mid range with their stormbolters, special weapons, and psychic blasts before the inevitable assault.
|-
! 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 paramount.
|}

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" |Preferred Daemonic Enemies (d12)
|-
! 1-2
| [[Khorne]] - Past events, bloodshed, and battles have made the daemons and worshipers of Khorne especially hated among the members of the Brotherhood.
|-
! 3-4
| [[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.
|-
! 5-6
| [[Slaanesh]] - The sickening degeneracy and pleasure attacks against the Brotherhood in the past have made Slaanesh worshipers and its daemons hated beyond most.
|-
! 7-8
| [[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.
|-
! 9-12
| [[Chaos 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.
|}

Some other questions to ask to fill out the fluff:
*Custom heraldry and paint job? (good idea to keep the base color silverish/greyish)
*Grand Master name + title, and ship names.
*What general mentality does this Brotherhood have towards other Organizations?
*Do they prefer certain weapons, do they have any notable relics?
*Areas of the galaxy they like to crusade at?
*relationships with other Brotherhoods and the Paladin/Purifier orders?
