Pandorax has a Dark Angels Successor who turned traitor.

He explicitely isn't considered one of the Fallen Angels by the Inner Circle; they have a whole different set of protocols for him.

Hm yes, but a single marine (as I read your post, not familiar with that novel) is still pretty damn good for an entire Legion

Well you can't just disregard the Fallen. They haven't all gone to Chaos, but they did betray the Imperium. So basically the Dark Angels had their betrayals done all at once, while all the other loyalist legions have been catching up over the millenia.

But one could make the point that 10.000 years of loyalty IS a feat rarely any other chapter, none the less with all successors, can claim. Plus that the Dark Angels from 30k were a Legion whereas we currently speak from chapters.
So yes, no DA Chapter or successor went renegade/corrupt/rogue which makes em loyal

But they aren't alone in that. Raven Guard have a bunch of known successors, none of which have gone rogue. Salamanders don't have any known successors, but none of their rumored successors have gone rogue either. Blood Angels have a bunch of successors that have toed the line but none of them have been declared heretic or renegade as far as I know. None of those chapters had a mass betrayal during their legion days either.

The Raven Guard definitely had a mass betrayal! It just wasn't their marines doing the betraying :-p.

While the Black Dragons and Salamanders haven't gone rogue, they've lost several members to Chaos.
