I've made my own SM chapter, just for fun. I'm going to traslate the information into English bit by bit (it's a lot!)

Basicaly, they're a 21st chapter whose corpses gradually rot. Loyal astartes zombies, that's the idea.

Okay!

So there slowly dieing as they live and a chapter of zombie marines?

That sounds strange but fun.

Zombie Marines, sounds cool.

Their color scheme

Why aren't they listed as heretic or too mutated to be acceptable? Do they never remove their armor, and keep this a secret? What's their relationship to nurgle? Does the rot hurt? Do they've any benefits due to being corpses?

They seem like a chapter of plague marines in denial of their Papa Nurgle's love.

1-Because they save the life of a Grey Knights' brootherhood. It's long to explain, but they prove their loyalty and the Inquisition preefer to work in more urgent things. They don't like them, but another things are more important.
2- Everytime they can, avoid being seen without armor. If they can't, they use long robes with hood, mask and linen sales.
3- They HATE Nurgle. Their gene-seed is on unknown origin, but apparently was to cure some genetic defect of another chapter (probably Raven guard but... who know). They hunt specialy Nurgle's servants and more recently necrons to prove their loyalty.
4- YES. But is a cronic pain. Bit to bit, when the years come decades and decades come centuries, it grown up. Neophites are not too much diferent form antoher chapter's neophites, but veterans can be horrible to see.
5- No. It's just a problem. Apothecaries are searching a cure, but they don't find it. They known a drug to postpone the rot and mitigate the pain. The most rotten individuals form a special company, the "Last Companie" of suicidical and martyrs.
