DYI chapters and Black Dragons and two other chapters which i cannot remember at this time.

You can post your DIY chapters that you like and I have an idea for my chapter
Name:Emperor's Wrath,
Homeworld:Tertacia(chapter doesn't recruit from it but from worlds that are close to Tertacia).
Battle cry:We deliver emperor's wrath onto you.
Chapter Master:Artem a veteran of 500 years he has lead the Emperor's wrath marines for 150 years,his armor is an ornate terminator suit and his weapons are both master crafted power sword:Imperator Ira and storm bolter with greater magazine size.
1st company captain:Centurius a veteran of 390 years he wields power sword and Fist of Wrath a power fist integrating meltagun.
2th company captain:Huron is one the most battle hardened men in the chapter and he has faced many foes and lived,his successor when he dies is likely going to be assault squad veteran sergeant Talius who wields bolt pistol and special chainsword integrating power field.
Codex Astartes:Emperor's Wrah follow codex astartes faithfully as they did since the began in the M40.
After 55 years of creating gene seed through test-slaves chapter was given rights to the Tertacia the planet was unhabited by humans so chapter chose the world for strategic importance in Calix sector located in Ultima,Obscurus segmentum border.
The Calix sector is a sector which among imperial contains a large number of xeno planets so in their early years the chapter was always fighting and in the end a large number of these worlds was conquered by the Imperium.Many marines perished during their early years on the xeno worlds so it took many decades to regain their full strength.Because of that chapter contributes to Deathwatch-kill teams.

Ok
Name:Storm Crusaders
Homeworld: Drancoris
Battle Cry: I am Asherian's Blade!
Chapter Master: Calnor Alnria rank is known as Grand Templar. Orginiallyl part of Alpha Squadron (an elite company of the storm crusaders) Calnor is a master of all the arts of war. Most Favorably Assassinations. After he Assassinated a Chaos Warlord he found a Eldar Blade Called The Sword of the Spirit. He used this to defeat 3 Greater Daemons in Combat. Calnor has lived for 1,500 Years. (Has a Relic Blade, and Combi-Melta with hell fire rounds and Astrates Grenade Launcher.
1st Company Captain: Navious was once a champion of the first company but after the Death of Captain Garane he took his place ever sine then he and his first company have fought staggering amount of engagments. (uses lysander rules)
2nd Company Captain: Calick is the appertenice to Calnor Alrnia, Calick is a masterful character who leads his company through the worst of deployments. (uses scarius rules)
Amount of Marines: 5,000 battle brothers, the storm Crusaders are spread across a section of the universe known as the Ghoul stars and they have 2 parts of the chapter the Crusading Companies and the Recuriting Companies. The Crusading Companies are deployed in the Ultimia Segtuma and the Eye of Terror. Half of the Storm Crusaders are part of the Crusading Companies. The Other Half Recurit and defend the worlds of the Ghoul Stars.
Codex Astrates: no, they follow the books of Asherian which are 3,000 volumes of how the chapter should be organized and follow and more.
Chapter NO: 124

Loyalists: Dark Angels and Death Watch.
I love Dark Angels for their story and their look. They have the knightly feel that the Black Templars just don't have, and they have a very awesome specialized feel to them, even after their watering down.

Death Watch is just plain awesome. Anything that hunts aliens and uses alien tech to kill them is freakin sweet. So much that I incorporated a lot of DW into my DA chapter (even going so far as to mod my DH allies to DW like units)

Traitor: The Fallen, again because of the story for Dark Angels, I had to start a chaos army for these guys, plus its cheaper to use the same models.
Thousand Sons have that same tragic story of self preservation gone wrong that I enjoy so much, so again a natural to ally them with my Fallen.

For me Loyalists gotta be Soul Drinkers (cuz they havent betrayed the Emp just the imperium) Dark Angels and Grey Knights (could count the Alpha Legion as well because who knows there agendas)

otherwise Deathguard for the win

Don't op your chapter or make clones of Black Templars.

Space Wolves
Traitor: My army, the Kittehs of Nurgle

Loyalist: Soul Drinkers.
Traitor: The Black Legion, The Iron Warriors, The Thousand Sons.

I'm fond of Thousand Sons and Space Wolves, at least pre-heresy/heresy-era. It feels like one of the few bits of relatively believable fluff that GW has put out.

I'm looking forward to having my opinion on this be corrected next year when they publish the books.

The Puppies
Then Salamanders
Then Templars
Then Blood Angels
Then everything else
Then Ultramarines.

Being a SW player, I'm going to have to say SW. However, I have played as Iron Lords, Ultramarines and GK, so I guess they are other favourites as well.

EX

Loyalist: Space Wolves & White Scars.
Enlightend: Death Guard,World Eaters & Word Bearers

One of the most famous Emperor Wrath's battles was the siege of Carth.The chapter's battle group numbering 3 companies assaulted Carth's capital city which was corrupted by ruinous powers.The marines laid siege to city and gained a large foothold in the city.During the battle brother Talius fought a Word Bearer possesed marine and managed to win but in the process gained several large wounds Talius killed him by managing to trust his chainsword in his chest then kicking him from the top of the highest buildings in the city.Even as the marines fought harder the traitor marines started to butcher the population to appease Slannesh.Not long after the massacre daemons started to pour from the city.Ordo Maellus inquisitor Aran called for retreat and then he ordered an orbital bombarding which erased city from the face of Talius.Most of the population in 500km circle was sent to work camps and truth about capital city was hidden.The imperial propaganda tells a quite different story.The attackers weren't chaos but they were a orks and they not the inquisitor's ship were responsible for the city destruction. Really grimdark.

Emperor's wrath chief librarian

Chief librarian:Tarrus
He's been holding that position for 98 years and ever since he send many enemies of Imperium to their grave.He is a marine of 372 years.One of his near death moments were when he was battling against a chaos sorcerer,their souls,bodies fighted like never before.Sensing his defeat the sorcerer began to cast a spell which drained souls of several hundred cultist around him and then he focused it into single blast which he directed against the Tarrus.Tarrus was greatly wounded but he managed to deliver mortal blow to the chaos sorcerer.The sorcere fell and with him the chaos army which was destroyed by 1st company.
Wargear:Tarrus wears terminator armor,storm bolter and a mastercrafted force axe Ira.

Iron Warriors, of course!!!

Dark Angels' Deathwing all the way!

Salamanders, then Wolves, then World Eaters.

One of the 1st company boarding actions was the boarding of the modified apocalypse-class battleship Conqueror at the battle of Daraks which took place in 237.M41.
The terminators boarded the ship to aid the crew who resisted the chaos boarding.
The crew have held the chaos at bay for several hours but were losing.
Terminators were led by 1st company captain Erek who is now dreadnought since 302.M41.
They stormed ship slaughtering chaos marines and cultis until they were forced to retreat.
The ship was now free and it destroyed chaos flagship after 30min of fight.
The chaos fleet fought longer refusing to retreat and because of that the imperials suffered a pyrrhic victory.
The battlebarge of the Emperor's Wrath which was named Stella Ira had suffred heavy damage but it was repaired later.
The 1st company suffered 8 casualties,3 assault and 5 standard terminators.
