I seem to remember one of the Forge World books mentioning a chapter of Space Marines that had an unusually high number of relic vehicles locked up in stasis, but I can't for the life of me find the passage again. It definitely wasn't a first founding chapter or anything, just a cursory name and a little fluff that I'd like to revisit. Does anyone know what I'm remembering?

EDIT: It was actually the Charnel Guard, I found the reference in a minor passage in Imperial Armour Two.

Black Templars are really big into chapter relics if I remember correctly

There is a Dark Angels sucessor chapter that is fully loaded with relics, the Consecrators http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Consecrators

From Forge World, the Carcharodons aka Space Sharks have been on crusade so long no one in the Imperium has records for them and they have been using old tech for a while http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Carcharodons

From Forge World. the Minotaurs are one of the High Lords of Terra's anti space marine pocket chapter ... they will generally take and keep any relics from opposing space marine chapters. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Minotaurs

'locked up in stasis' would make it Grey Knights, Imperial Armour volume 2 Second Edition:
"That said the Grey Knights still have use of the war machines of the Adeptus Astartes and the Chapters Arsenal on Titan is host to vast stasis-locked battery chambers within which are probably held examples of almost every war machine ever wrought by the Imperium."

Deathwatch is not a chapter but they also have that at their fortresses.

If you have nothing nice to say then say frakking nothing.

The Blood Ravens "acquire" relics all over the damned place.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The chapter I was thinking of ended up being the Charnel Guard, if anyone is wondering.
