what is a realistic number of marines/squads that can go traitor

plz respond

A squad going rogue is a huge stain on a chapter's reputation. If more than a few marines fall, usually its because someone high up in the chapter forced the rest into it (soul drinkers).

but well-known traitors? I don't see more than a handful at a time going traitor, if at all. I've always thought a chaos army of traitors from 20+ chapters would look cool

Hello, reddit.

Realistically the most common amount of marines going traitor I imagine would be one or a few at a time, but if the whole squad is compromised, it would be 5-10 marines.

An entire company though? That's "mobilize the entire fucking chapter and prepare the chapter master's personal vessel" level shit.

Sorry loyalistfriend, your secret lover Gav Thorpe invented "renegade chapters" back in 4th edition -

Whole.
Fucking.
Chapters.

Too bad, so sad - no backsies! Once named excommunicatus - even in error - it's canon that all of a chapter's armour spontaneously mutates to look like chaos models and all of your most effective wargear simply disappears [wouldn't want the Bad Guys mistaken for the studio's waifus!].

Welcome to the party, pal!

I think what he meant was unless the whole chapter's gone traitor, a whole company going renegade is a huge deal
