Chapter Serf based space marine chapter

>>50345166

Space wolves have a big serf manned fleet.

I always assumed serfs were driving the vehicles, at least. Or at least someone without power armor.

All chapters with fleets use serfs to man them. It takes hundreds of men just to load a single macro cannon, the only Space Marines on a chapter ship are the ones being transported to the warzone and maybe the captain.

Autoloaders are a thing since 3e, that manual loading thing is mostly for replacement of the broken autoloaders with no spare parts. The world isn't that grindark anymore

not really

Torpedoes are the ones that are typically hand-loaded (which is why you specifically have to reload them in BFG), but macro-weapons having autoloaders isn't uncommon.

This killed 40k

You could do that in-game with combi-weapons. Each serf model doesn't fight, but acts as a token that gets removed when the one-use non-bolter part gets fired.

>>50346835
Slave labor is done by menials or servitors, serfs are employed in roles like officers and crew.

I believe SM ships also use serfs as armsmen in defense against boarding actions

i agree, people now started to take the setting seriously
