is that they're a reborn Chapter made out of II or XI Primarchs' gene seed. No other Chapter has those bone blades coming out of their arms. So my headcanon is that either II or XI Primarch had those bone blades (in a similar way Sanguinius had wings) but with a select difference that some of his Astartes developed those bone blades when no Blood Angels grew wings.

And the foundation of Black Dragons made from II or XI Primarch gene-seed was under the shadowy influence of Belisarius Cawl.

I know that the general theory is that they are potentially Salamanders lineage but the gene-seed was tinkered with alongside the rest of the Cursed Founding Chapters. TBH I haven't actually ever heard anything different. Where did you find this theory?

It's made up by me.

Ok, it's an interesting discussion point but maybe change the thread title to reflect that it's a theory you have made up. It's not one of your favourite theories, it's just yours.

Well I think that the organ (osteomorph I believe) that regulates the skeletal growth is more than enough for the mutations to appear... And all the Cursed Founding have one issue or the other.

There is almost no relationship at all between the Primarchs physical attributes and their Marine physical features, even less is we're talking significative deviation and not smaller things like eye or hair colour.
For example, no Blood Angel has (or ever had) wings, no Thousand Sons is neither a cyclop, red or giant and so on so forth...

The only possible exception is Leman Russ that has wolf attributes, and his sons become werewolf.
But I think that's the extend of bleed between Primarchs and Legions for the entire Heresy.

So, for the specific case of the Black Dragons, I think that connecting them to the 2nd or 11th Primarchs is both a stretch and not necessary to make their mystery even more mysterious

I can't condone a place where abusers and abused are threated the same: it's destined to doom, so there is no reason to participate in it.

The gene-seed defects of the BA and the SW are linked to their Primarchs but the way it manifests differs from Chapter to Chapter.
Space Wolf gene-seed is notably unstable because of the Canis Helix which is what makes the Wolves go feral if not kept in check. This feral nature manifests in the Curse of the Wulfen.
The Blood Angels and their successors have one thing in common and it's the Red Thirst. But apart from that, the gene-seed manifests in many different ways. Some Chapters share Sanguinius's beauty others have almost translucent skin or look similar to Nosferatu.
But as for the Dragons being of II/XI, I very much doubt it. The 21st Founding was dedicated to fixing flawed batches of gene-seed and occurred in M35. Any gene-seed relating to the II/XI Primarchs would be long gone by this point.
