Space Sharks still have fun!

Why else would someone set off the planet's geothermal reactors, if not for gaks and giggles?

Perhaps not technically a Marine Chapter anymore, but the Flame Falcons would be pretty creepy to fight.

Hey, the Relictors aren't on this list! I object! Radical Space Marine loyalists who use daemon weapons to fight for the Imperium, despite being excommunicated, are CLEARLY the best.

Angels of Wrath, from Citadel Journal 22. They are a Dark Angels successor chapter. I am doing an Unbound list to keep it as close as I can to the source material; which ironically requires me to use Space Wolf Scouts.

Working on a scout squad right now actually.

Carcharodons and Minotaurs! Space sharks are always awesome! And I love that other SM/IoM folks hate them!

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Black Templars, my first ever Chapter. Carcharodons because they don't take any messing and just kill everyone and everything. Finally my own Chapter the Emulsifiers because they're mine so I can write them into any history I want and they're cool.

Flesh Tearers are the easiest pick for me, they're alright for non-Imperial Fists, and I do have a special place for these psychos in my weaselly black heart.

Runners up (In no order):
- Hounds of Cerberus (Homebrew)
- Dust Dogs (Homebrew)
- Exorcists
- Minotaurs
- Fire Angels
- Howling Griffons
- Sons of Orar
- Imperious Reavers
- Silver Skills
- Charnel Guard
- Knights of Blood
- Templars of Blood
- Steel Confessors
- Sons of Medusa
- Emperor's Warbringers
- Executioners
- Fire Lords
- Sons of Dorn
- Venom Thorns
- Black Dragons
- Carcharodons
- Death Eagles
- Death Spectres
- Scythes of the Emperor
- Mantis Warriors
- Guardians of the Covenant

That sums it I believe

Black templers, who else has 6000 angry witch hating crusaders with a ovwrwhelming desire to drive a chainsword where it hurts alot into a xeno army.

They get the job done. One clogged chainsword at a time.

Actually the Black Templars have just around 2,000 dudes, not 6,000.

I went Carcharodons. Bloodthirsty silent killers with Maori tattoos. I love the little nods to them in the FW Horus Heresy stuff too. The Carcharadons have been my favourite since I knew about them haha.

That said, the Minotaurs were a close second.

Black Templars!!

SMITE THE UNCLEAN!! These guys are the most devout holy warriors in the galaxy. They said F-YOU to Guillimon and decided to keep their chapter size and organization because they knew that what they were doing was righteous and in the best interest of KILLING ALL OF THE XENOS AND WITCHES.

I went with the Raptors since their color scheme is really freakin' close to my homebuilt chapter, the War Wyverns. Also they have the whole "Use camouflage and be sneaky to act as a force multiplier" thing going for them.

I almost voted for the Steel Confessors, too, simply because they sound like a metal band from the 1980s. Steel Confessors would totally open for Iron Maiden or Judas Priest.

Wow, 6 votes for Silver Skulls! (My vote being #7)

There are some cool post heresy chapters but after all my searching I landed on the Silver Skulls.
