By this logic, then crimson fists shouldn't have a successor chapter but they do: The Crimson Guard.http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Crimson_Guard
Or the Exorcists, their founding chapter is the GK. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Exorcists

to many chapters founders are unknown to us.

There is about 700 SM chapters that haven't been named in the fluff. You can't tell me that every single chapter is a direct desendent of the orginal loyalist chapters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991649.page GMT Black Templar Successors?
The closest to successors are the various crusades, supposedly if there's a split in any of the crusades then new off-shoot crusade forms of the Black Templars, retaining all the old Heraldry of the chapter, but with their own crusader markings and title.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991711.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991711.page GMT Re:Black Templar Successors? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991731.page GMT Re:Black Templar Successors?
As an example from this, the latest Imperial Armour Book; the Badab War Part 1, lists the parent chapter of the Marines Errant (if memory serves) as 'Ultramarines (Hawk Lords)'. It mentions that it is very unusual for a successor chapter to be explicitly named as the parent of a new chapter, and that the events that lead to the honour of the Hawk Lords being named as parent have been lost. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1991867.page GMT Black Templar Successors?

Lexicanum states that the Crimson Guard is a sucesssor to the Crimson Fists, but I'd like some more data there. Everything else about them seems to be unknown, and I can't help but feel that someone gave them that lineage because both chapters start with the word "Crimson."

I'd also like to point out that Grey Knights aren't exactly a successor to anyone. While not one of the First Founding legions, neither do they have geneseed from any known source, certainly not from aany of the 18 known Primarchs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1992407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1992407.page GMT Black Templar Successors?

Yeah, your proberly right there, we just don't know enough about so many chapters, I swear like 80% of the chapters on the list on Lexicanum are pretty much unknown.

Hopefully GW will one day get arround to telling us what happened with the GK, hopefully when the new codex come out we will know more about their founding.

There is just so much of a gap in our information about 40k]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1993668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1993668.page GMT Black Templar Successors? GK founders were likely a Deathguard Captain Nathaniel Garro and a Veteran Sergeant of the Lunar Wolves whose name escapes me right now. Flight of the Eisenstein suggests this, so the primarchs of the GK are Mortarion and Horus...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1994425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320546/1994425.page GMT
