If you could choose which Chapter/Legion would recruit you, what would it be? Whether its a loyalist Chapter, Traitor Legion, or Renegade Chapter is fine. Personally, Blood Ravens would be preferable, but Dark Angels or one of their successors would be nice as well.

I'd say probably Salamanders, seeing as they aren't quite as fanatical/evil as some of the other marine chapters. That and they treat regular humans like actual individuals instead of mere cannon fodder/totally inferior beings.

Ultramarines.

Just because.

GK.. psyker, marine and all badass

Probably Dark Angels so I could work my way up to be a member of the Deathwing, the most elite terminators of any chapter. I have always loved their stubborn and intractable nature, and even the secret is cool from a story telling point of view.

Or The Exorcists, seriously, these guys are bar none the most bad of the bad. Their initiation right is GETTING POSSESSED BY A DEAMON AND HAVING IT EXCISED to build resistance to daemonic influences That and they have a pretty awesome paint scheme.

Blood Angels

Alpha Legion or Raptors

Raven Guard, or their Raptors successor.

Because they're sensible.

My favorite chapter is the Blood Angels, but eventually I'd get the Black Rage and have to be killed...so my choice is either Blood Ravens or Imperial Fists.

If I was the Imperium, I would join the Space Wolves

If i was Chaos i would join the World Eaters

Blood For The Blood God ! Skulls For The Skull Throne !

Iron snakes, just read the book and it was pretty awesome.

The Ultramarines. Everybody is jealous of them. Don't have to worry about gene seed defects. All of your commanders are military geniuses. I look good in blue.

That, and I hear Ultramar is pretty nice this time of millenium. Can have trouble with pest control from time to time, but small annoyances can be endured.

As a Space Marine, I would be a Dark Angel because I would totally want to have the cloak-and-dagger, secretive lifestyle.

If I were to be tainted by Chaos, I would want to be a Word Bearer. I heard they caused lots of trouble during the Horus Heresy.

Salamanders...KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Thousand sons I just love tzeentch.

Iron Warriors. Because, y'know, they're Iron Warriors. Warriors. Of Iron.

(I fail at coherency)

Or Red Corsairs. Sure, they're hardly the most awesomely brilliant of chapters, but there's just something about the notion of being a Space Pirate that appeals to me. Maybe an Iron Warrior that defected to the Red Corsairs...?? That'd work!

I'm going to have to say...Iron Warriors

It would either be the Scythes of Emperor or the Celestial Lions. I just have a thing for forces that were nearly annihilated in a losing battle and are now struggling to rebuild.

If I had to choose Chaos it'd be Iron Warriors. They're the least Chaotic of the traitor legions and have some interesting backstory.

Plenty of opportunity for promotion when all of the leadership gets wiped out. Gotta get your hands on a power fist somehow right?

I don't think Thousand Sons recruit anymore, having been reduced to dust and all, and their Primarch's now a Daemon Prince. I hear they recruit sorcerers though, but they're not 'true' Thousand Sons since they don't have Magnus' gene-seed. The only remaining store of Thousand Sons gene-seed is on Terra, or in the Blood Ravens' gene-banks (if they really are loyalist Thousand Sons, which would explain their pre-disposition to scholarship, Librarians, knowledge, Chapter civil wars over renegade members, etc.).

The only type of chapter that would intrest me is one that isnt ran by idiots, which is none of them. The chapter i would want is one that uses real tactics, not charge the enemy and rely on our plot armor. One that thinks to camoflauge their armor to fit the terrain, rather then bright flashy colors. And they would have to not be arrogant and actually care about regular humans, basically considering themselves humanitys protectors, not its demi gods.

Since there isnt a chapter like this, im going to decline to join, instead Ill stay with the IG.

A quote by a Fire Hawks Chaplain:

The principle is that the enemy cannot kill what he cannot see. This is not the way of the Astartes. A Space Marines armour is bright with heraldry that proclaims his devotion to his chapter and the beloved Emporer of Mankind. Our principle is that what the enemy can see, he will soon learn to fear.

Once again, Problem?

Uh, Raptors?

Raptors... Never heard of them. I will investigate.

Yeah, I would join the Raptors. Thank you King Pariah. I might even make them my next project.

Bloody Magpies. There is much "Gift Giving" to be had!

Said it before and I'll say it again; Emperor's Children

SEX, DRUGS, MOAR DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL BITCH!!!!!! HAHAHAH! AHAHAHA! HA! AHHAHAHAH! DRUGS! AHAHHAAA!

Salamanders.

Mentor Legion. Though I prefer their old fluff where they'd go around, attaching small squads to IG regiments and stuff to teach them how to fight better. How cool is that?

Actually yes, since by the time you get the whole picture, you'd be centuries-old (then again, all Space Marine officers in any Chapter are centuries-old) and have been proven to be loyal and trustworthy to the secrets of the Unforgiven (with increasing rank and seniority come increasing degrees of knowledge regarding the truth).

Have to say The Excorcists are awesome, but I'm not sure I'd want to go through possession so I would have to go with Crimson Fists, I want Kantor's Gear!
