I was looking through all the existent chapters, and i was wondering: Which chapter is most similar to the Reasonable Marines?

I mean, are there any chapters based more on useful tactics and innovTive plans, that don't waste their time and forces waging useless bloody wars, and aren't xeniphobes like most chapters?

Blood Ravens combat doctrine involves studying enemy movements for hours, planning for every occasion, and striking with precise applications of force to disrupt operations.

They're the RTS Marines, so they follow the genre's conventions.

It's also how a combat patrol sized unit was able to hold off a Tyranid Invasion, Ork Waaagh! and Eldar Incursion simultaneously. They used expert asset denial tactics to stall the Xenos until reinforcements arrived.

Yes but don't Blood Ravens also have a strong affinity for psykers? As much as they like strategy, I wouldn't call being very interested in psykers and giving the librarians so much power reasonable in the Imperium.

Maybe if they were secretly Eldar in disguise...

None apply, really. Chapters may be willing to work with the 'lesser of two evils' to defeat a greater threat, but they are all keen on destroying all xenos. Afterall, every non-Imperial faction is a threat to the Imperium.
