	After the publication of the [[Codex Astartes]] and the breaking of the Legions into [[Space Marine Chapter\|Chapters]], Brother-Captains were confined to Company commanders. Each Captain was given an aspect of command over the Chapter. Alongside the leaders of the [[Librarian\|Librarium]], [[Chaplain\|Chaplaincy]], [[Techmarine\|Armory]] and [[Apothecary\|Apothecarion]], the Brother-Captains hold the positions of Masters of the Chapters. Here they both serve as a board of advisors to the [[Chapter Master]] and hold a variety of positions within the Chapter with associated duties. The ten positions for a Codex-compliant Chapter are as follows:		After the publication of the [[Codex Astartes]] and the breaking of the Legions into [[Space Marine Chapter\|Chapters]], Brother-Captains were confined to Company commanders.

Here they both serve as a board of advisors to the [[Chapter Master]] and hold a variety of positions within the Chapter with associated duties. The ten positions for a Codex-compliant Chapter are as follows:

	* The senior most of the Captains is the First Captain, who is Captain of the First Company and holds the title of '''Regent'''. In the time of the Legions, the First Captain was generally considered the very best warrior of the Legion after his [[Primarch]]. In "modern" Chapters, the First Captain commands the [[veteran squad\|veterans of the Chapter]], and serves as the immediate second-in-command to the Chapter Master and Regent of that Chapter's home world or fleet. In a few Chapters, such as the [[Salamanders]] and the [[Crimson Fists]], the Chapter Master is also the First Captain. While theoretically any captain could wear [[terminator]] armour, because the First Captain is the one directly responsible for leading terminator squads, he is almost exclusively the one captain to bear terminator armour to battle.		* The senior most of the Captains is the First Captain, who is Captain of the First Company and holds the title of '''Regent'''.

	* The Captain of the Second Company is the '''Master of the Watch'''. Charged with maintaining discipline, they serve as the prosecution during trials within the Chapter and handle other cases involving a lack in discipline but that are not quite heretical. Their main responsibility though lies in the logistics of defense for the chapter's Fortress-Monastery/main base of operations. In fleet bound chapters these responsibilities are often rolled into the title of Master of the Fleet.		* The Captain of the Second Company is the '''Master of the Watch'''.

	* The Captain of the Third Company is the '''Master of the Arsenal'''. They oversee the Chapter's stockpile of weapons, munitions, vehicles of war and their quality. Likely works closely alongside the Master of the Forge.		* The Captain of the Third Company is the '''Master of the Arsenal'''.

	In 8th Edition captains have become much more viable with a useful aura ability which allows for re-roll hit rolls of 1s for your chapter units. This works for both ranged or CC oriented play styles and can work with different HQs, like the [[Ancient]] (for that retaliation) or the new [[Lieutenants]] (for making those 1 re-rolls hurt). Works even better with the new [[plasma]] mechanics, allowing those 1s to become a fail or hits instead of instant death.

	* The Captain of the Sixth Company is the '''Master of the Rites'''. They perform and oversee the rites, rituals and other formal occasions inherent to the Chapter; as such their duty (and the size of it) differs between the various Chapters. In many cases, they work closely with the Chapter's Chaplains. The precise differences between Master of Rites and the Reclusiarch vary greatly between chapters, generally with both holding special significance under different spheres.		* The Captain of the Sixth Company is the '''Master of the Rites'''.

	* The Captain of the Seventh Company is the '''Chief Victualler'''. They are tasked with maintaining the logistics within the Chapter and with outside forces: that the supplies that the Chapter cannot make for itself are procured and that there are enough rough materials for the things the Chapter can do. They also make sure that the various ships and bases of the Chapter have ample supplies. Synonymous with Quartermaster.		* The Captain of the Seventh Company is the '''Chief Victualler'''.
