I was wondering if anyone would have a problem with me creating my own small faction for 40k? Basically a small group of renegade space marines (not heretics), some imperial guard, and a small imperial knight force. I am primarily looking at this from the lore prospective. I want them to be loyal to the emperor, just not the Imperium.

I do mean purely lore wise, and why would people turn down a friendly game over something made-up?

I've essentially just painted my force similar to the black legion (black and gold), and then come up with some cool characters to use as leadership. But i'm not exactly sure where to go as far as the finalized creation of a faction. So really the only thing I have for the groups base is that they are still loyal to the emperor but dislike the Imperium due to it's corrupt nature.

I should state that I have used the regular SM codex for my army.

Although I have looked at the dark angels codex as my army is sorta terminator heavy

The idea of the space marines being out of contact with the imperium since the heresy sounds great! It would also explain all the cataphractii armour...
