which chapter of the Adeptus Astartes hates xenos the most?

is it Black Templars for their devotion to Imperial Cult? or maybe Invaders for how they hate Eldar? or perhaps Minotaurs or Imperial Fists or some other chapter?

but Dark Angels have the watchers, which are abhumans at best, which makes them look quite radical

We don't know what the watchers actually are though. They could be some sort of servitor, on the idea of cherubs.

I don’t believe the watchers in the dark are abhuman but they probably are some form of xenos. However being non threatening and helping since the days of the lion they have earned a position as one of the dark angels many contradictions and hypocrisies.

They get on well with the eldar so are probably psychic. They could be a creation of the old ones abandoned on Caliban but they also seemed to have accepted events to unfold in a certain way that suggests they can see into the future.

You’d expect many of them died during the destruction of Caliban but they didn’t appear to react to it at all as far as I am aware

I would say that every chapter except the bastard 3rd founding Ultramarines. Damn pointy ear lovers, they even had a half-eldar Librarian for Emperors sake!

I believe they have been described as having mysterious/magic powers, so I don't think they could actually be something as simple as serviors.

Plus they predate Imperial Occupation of Caliban. Servitors were not a thing back then.

They have always been described as psychic beings that have always been on caliban, and they cannot be harmed in any way.

The Black Templars hands down. Their xenophobia is lightly seasoned with intense religious fervour.
I'd say the Deathwatch but it's not really a "Chapter" in the normal sense.

Unfortunately, while that is their only job, they are not a "chapter" being made up of volunteers from many chapters as an ordo strike force.

Plus "job" isn't necessarily tied to feelings of hate. It could be, but it could also be just proffessionalism towards a certain task.

They use things like necron phase swords and whatever, so I think the Deathwatch actually might hate xenos less than a normal chapter.

The Deathwatch are put in torture chambers where they're bombarded with horrific deaths of Space Marines at the hands of Xenos to make them even more xenophobic than before. However, as has been stated, the Deathwatch are not a "true" Chapter rather a gathering of volunteers from the many other Chapters as a specialised group spread across the Galaxy at large. Astartes seconded are meant to gain knowledge and return to their Chapter to spread it amongst their brothers, thereby strengthening humanity's bulwark. Some do choose to remain in the Deathwatch but this is often rare.

good suggestion! i believe that the Red Scorpions take the cake for now

i'd say that Black Templars' hate is more focused on the heretics, while Red Scorpions direct their hate more towards whatever's not Mankind's superiority. but perhaps there are some more chapters i'm overlooking.

Black Templars seem like they're the most hateful chapter generally. But there's not much in it, is there? All Space Marines are hypno conditioned to despise aliens.

Strange how the Space Wolves are exempt from this thread. Same with the Iron Hands and their derivatives. I would also guess that White Scars and their foundlings would be hostile.

wait, is this true? That's fething hilarious. I love marine lore lol, it always finds ways to make itself dumber and dumber to the point where I question if its even real

It feels like I do this every time and I always go "this one CANT be real" and then I go look it up and, nope, its real. Like recently my buddy was like 'yeah a dreadnought tries to hit on a sister of silence in one of the horus heresy novels' and I thought it was a joke, but nope!

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Yeah really. In one of the Deathwatch novels, we get a glimpse as to what it's like and it's essentially:
You're a member of the Crimson Fists on Rynn's World, oh look you've just been bisected by an Ork Nob.
Now you're an Ultramarine on Maccrage fighting Behemoth, oh dear your the entire left side of your body has been dissolved in acid.
This time you're a Raven Guard in the Damocles Expanse and, oh wait no your whole squad was just wiped out by a unit of Ghostkeels.

It's got some cool things like the corrupted feudal soldiers and the rig workers realising the Imperium is evil and bargaining with the Kroot for safe passage but damn so much of the book just hurts to read.

All Space Marines are hostile, I think Space Wolves, Iron Hands and White Scars would just be vanilla-hostile by Space Marine standards.

Well, because they _are_. There are chaos-corrupted squads, companies or entire chapters from every single gene-line. The idea that they have some super duper dark secret version of the common ailment that warrants their constant murder and abandonment of allies is patently absurd.
