I made up a bunch of Chapters, but my favourite are the Death Angels. Nothing special, just like them. Although I did create a chapter of deaf Space Marines which fight in absolute silence to pass that trait on to their enemies, and used sonic weaponry.
Well, whatever it is - My personal Chapter is a Blood Angels Successor Chapter, which in concept is a bit Dark Angels-inspired.
They were a chapter created during the Cursed Founding. The first millinium, they acted much like their progenitor, if a bit zealous in their adherence to honour and rightousness but in due time, the Chief Apothecary and Chapter Master at the time decided to have a try on subduing the Black Rage. After much experimentation, it seemed like they would be succesful, and the new cure was slowly being dispensed out in the blood banks of the Chapter. Some years later, the Chapter recieved a distress call from a system that had problems with rebellions that were clearly not a natural cause - It was expected that a Legion stood behind it. After the Chapter had subdued the initial rebellion, a cult managed to create a Warp Rift and call in a fleet of Alpha Legion ships filled to the brim with forces, and the system devolved into a warzone.
After a year of trying to beat the Alpha Legion back, the war seemed to be decided on a last, grand battle on plains outside a large citadel. The battle went well, but out of nowhere, the Chief Apothecary showed his true colours as an undercover Alpha Legionnarie, and activated a daemon virus embedded in most of the Chapter. The Black Rage, which had been mostly subdued for the last years, now returned in full force, and up till 10% of the marines fell immideatly. The Legion then retreated, happy with the result.
As it turned out, the new "Black Rage" was a very different kind of rage - Instead of incoherent psychic visions, each Marine were filled with hatred for anything that wasn't absolutely perfect, according to the scriptures of the Chapter. They were able to be reasoned with, and saw themselves as members of the Chapter still, but it soon dawned upon the commanders that they weren't fully loyal - Or rather, they were so loyal, they'd execute another Marine on the spot for not acting honourably enough for their likings. It was decided that these members, now named the "Order of the Judges", were to be kept in their own citadel far from the Chapter, but still recieve all information from the Chapter, since anything less would arouse suspicion.
Nowadays, the regular Chapter is still very much the same as it once was, but it also have several Orders that fight to try and find a cure that may relieve them of their curse, or simply keep it at bay until the Ending Times. These are the Order of the Pure Body (Apothecaries and Initiates), Order of the Pure Mind (Chaplains), Order of the Pure Soul (Librarium) and Order of the Pure Purpose (Officers). The Chapter doesmuch to seem noble to outsiders, as to hide their affliction, and hunts the Alpha Legion relentlessly. Many of the elder members of the Chapter fears, however, that they will never be rid of the Rage, and that their end is near... Or at least they hope so, since other powers in the galaxy might take a hold of them if they don't get an end soon.
And I did another about 3-5 years previously, too.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
Origins
The Wolverines Valiant was founded in the 41st millennium to partake in a crusade into the Octarius Sector in the Ulitimar Segmentum and reclaim planets left from the Orks and Tyranids. Taken from the genestock of Roboute Gulliman, believing the threat within the Ultimar Segmentum would be fought with greater fury if taken from Ultramarine stock.
Trained by the loyal Silver Skulls chapter, the Wolverines Valiant learned the Codex Astartes and tactics used by Ultramarines. During the time of training the Wolverines picked up the habit of collecting skulls and artifacts of defeated enemies to keep on their person or back in the Hall of Victory in the fortress monastery. On the mission named “The Purge”, the Wolverines assisted the Silver Skulls in cleansing the world Equinox of all Chaos taint. This left millions of citizens dead in the streets.
Home World
On the outer edge of the Ultima Segmentum, near the Eastern Fringe, lies the cold world of Meshegan. Given to the Wolverines as a recruiting world as a quick resource center. Meshegan’s 12 billion citizens toil over the harsh land to be a self-sustained world. Throughout the world there are many industrial cities which produce arms and ammo for their lords. The Wolverines rule with little care as long as the citizens produce the resources needed, guardsman and the elite fighters become great marines.
Meshegan was first discovered by Rogue Trader in the late 36th Millennium. Selected for its mass land and deep metal resources, Meshegan was colonized in the mid-37th Millennium. Unknown to the first colonists, the land was already inhabited by native humans who had given themselves over to the Dark Gods. Known by the locals as the “Red Ones”, as all found natives had covered themselves in the blood of others. Once discovered, the native population was executed and the caves they hid in purged and closed with Holy rituals of the Inquisition.
Centuries of industrial mining and manufacturing metals have taken their toll on the land, resources are becoming rarer and the AdMec is seeing less use of the world. The Wolverines were given the world on the decline of the world, believing the populace would produce tougher recruits and inspire the populace into producing more.
Deep within the largest mountain, on the largest island, lays the fortress monastery Anarba where citizens make pilgrimages to honor and respect their protectors and Angels whom they rarely see.

Combat Doctrine
Wolverines believe in smash mouth tactics and revel in close combat. Most marines through the years keep trophies of opponents bested in close combat and greatly take care of all close combat weapons. While loving close combat, Wolverines do not fields more assault squads, believing to whittle down the foe with weapons fire and mopping up the strongest foes left with hand to hand combat and flamers.
The Wolverines are known to deploy in full chapter forces rather than in piece meal companies. Believing the full company can help cover objects and any forces needed can be kept nearby if needed.
Organization
As a true decedent of the Ultramarines, the Wolverines Valiant stay true to the Codex Astartes. Currently the Wolverines are understrength due to a violent opening campaign into the Charadon Empire. During the opening campaign there was mass success until the Waaagh of Bone Breka cost the 2nd, 3rd and 8th companies 50% strength in the battle for Fitz Hive on Grimdi.
Beliefs
Wolverines believe in the purity and greatness of all Space Marines. Brothers in arms will always take priority over any non-marine. Wolverines have been known to abandoned human populations to save a squad of marines and will sacrifice guardsman with little thought. While knowing the lives of all marines matter more than most, the Wolverines are truly aware their own deaths are always close. This drives their urge to fight in hand to hand combat, for it is better to die at the hands of the better enemy than to be lost in the warp traveling to the next fight. Wolvirnes have a deep distrust of the Warp and all Astropaths, stemming from the Wolverines study of the Fire Hawks. To die outside of battle and service to the Emperor is the utmost disaster to any Wolverine.
Wolverines developed a mutual respect for the Adeptus Arbites due to their ruthless rule of the land and putting the greater good above human life. On the planet of Yio XI, the Arbites executed the entire government body when found they would not utilize their own household guards in defending the city from the food riots.
Gene-seed
Taken from the Ultramarine stock the Wolverines Valiant have pure stock with no known flaws.
History
The Wolverines were also taught the atrocities brought about by the Minotaurs chapter during the Macharian Heresy. During the Macharian Heresy the Minotaurs crippled two Ultramarines successors and insulted Calgar. The Wolverines vowed to fight the Minotaurs and protect any Ultramarine chapter from the Minotaurs ruthless tactics.

Chapter Master Harbo:
Spoiler:
Like most Wolverines Valiant, Chapter Master Joimili Harbo hailed from their home world of Meshegan. His blood lines tracing back to the local PDF, where his father served as a Sargent. Harbo himself was an acclaimed scout during his training, where he boasted he could kill a Herald of Khorne himself. This was much chastised by his training Sargent at the time. Harbo found himself the opportunity at the end of the Wrilno Campaign. Legend tells of how the scout wounded the Herald with his precision fire then finished it off in brutal hand to hand combat, earning him his full honors as a Wolverine Valiant.
Through the years Harbo continued to earn honor with his merciless bolter fire tactics and hand to hand combat. Eventually he was promoted to Captain of the 5th after the previous captain *name struck from records* dishonored himself by sacrificing squads of Asartes to save the local PDF. During his time as Captain Harbo drilled his troops further and longer higher than even an Asartes was used to. He is known for grounding opponents into the ground with swarming Tactical Marines and Devastator fire, before following up with ruthless close combat tactics. He continued his mastery of Demons and earned honors throughout the sector for his training regimens.
Captain Harbo eventually caught the eye of the Deathwatch, where the Master of the Hunt called upon his expertise to fight the *CLASSIFIED*. Being the first member of the Wolverines Valiant to be called upon the honor Deathwatch he dutifully left to don the black.
During his time with the Deathwatch the Wolverines Valiant became a shell of their former glory. Multiple Chapter Masters fell in combat to the Chaos Traitors and the Chapter losses became overwhelming. The Wolverines Valiant were sent back to their homeworld to regroup and reorganize. This was when Harbo returned from his time at the Deathwatch, without hesitation the Veterans of the Chapter elected Harbo to become the next Chapter Master and rebuild their glory.
Newly minted Chapter Master Harbo has rebuilt the strength of the chapter and drills them viciously in the tactics he has honed through the years. When Harbo takes to the fiery crucible of war he is known to go into battle wearing his Artificer armor and wielding his powerfist *Righteous Fist*(a gift from the Deathwatch) and Storm Bolter.

I wanted a chapter that was a mixture of Imperial fists, and Raven Guard.
City fighters. They put a large value in endurance and the ability to fight through suffering (imperial Fist masochism).
Some use of camouflage for ambushing enemies (Raven Guard). I liked the imagery of an enemy passing a space marine statue, only for the eyes to flicker to life when they are not looking, and attack. I also really like grey.
Mine's the Honourbound. they're space samurai. that's about it. a friend of mine wrote some cool lore for them, though and I really like them. I've even built their
marines and chapter master.

I made the Sons of Iron, a Space Marine chapter with a gakload of borderline heretic tech-priests trying to do science the old way, and reverse-engineering xeno weapons. It's still a work in progress though.
