I agree. Aesthetically they look great with the robes and gothic vehicle hulls(because 40K doesn't have enough gothic in it), but besides that I really don't get what their 'thing' is. Yeah they keep a dark secret about past heresy but so do other chapters (Blood Angles' tower of vampires, Space Wolves' fighting the Inquisition and the Black Templars not giving a feth about the Codex Astartes or the Mechanicus). They're dark and brooding I suppose, which is always important in the grimdark.
