1.) What Space Marine chapter(s) are the most likely to be okay with a Radical Inquistors. I'm not talking about the lolchoas kind who are bad news. I mean the kind that really are trying to do the right thing but are doing things that are not too puritan. Kind of like Eisenhorn and Ravenor. (Please let's not make this a debated about if they are right or wrong. Start a new topic for that)

2.) Are there any loyalist Space Marine chapter(s) that tend to produce Marines that just tend to fall to chaos? Maybe not tend to fall, but it happens more to their chapter more then others, but not enough to consider the whole chapter corrupted?

Answer to number 2? Dark Angels

For #1, the Fire ClawsRelictors spring to mind. In fact, they may well be the perfect example for such a development. Not anymore, however, since the Chapter was chastised, so they are more of an object lesson as to what could happen to other Chapters, rather than a Chapter that would still do such things "now".

#2 is more tricky, simply because most armies' fluff focuses on heroic exploits and epic victories rather than such dark hours, and this "romanticism" runs especially strong in most material about the Astartes. There is precious little background on Chapters with such a critical flaw that did not outright turn them into Renegades. However, in the CSM 'dex there was this bit about a number of Space Wolves on the strike cruiser "Wolf of Fenris" turning their guns on their former brethren and joining up with Huron's Red Corsairs as their ship was being boarded, apparently preferring switching their loyalties to Chaos rather than being slaughtered in a battle whose outcome was already decided. Assuming that the troops stationed on this ship were an average selection from amongst the Chapter, this could reveal a dangerous streak amongst the SW, which however fits to the individualism propagated by the Chapter's culture. Other than that ... I can't think of any obvious betrayals - unless we expand this definition to also include Chapters at risk of falling victim to a dangerous mutation of their geneseed, such as the Flesh Tearers, or at least some of the Chapters created by Inquisitorial mandate during the ill-fated Cursed Founding.

They would either be regular Space Marines unaware of his radical nature who would turn on him if they discovered it, or renegades who have allied with him out of necessity (like they decided to help him use a daemon sword to avoid some greater calamity, which damns them in the eye of the greater Imperium, so they stick with the Inquisitor as a renegade Chapter so they can continue to serve).

I'd say Exorcists, since possessing marines with minor daemons and then banishing them to build a resistance is kinda radical, but I feel Eisenhorn and Ravenor went a step further.

Hmm... Blood Ravens are the latest Chapter to have a large portion go Chaos, and their high percentage of psykers and questionable geneseed origin coughmagnuscough
