Can they be counted as a favorite chapter?

The Legion of the Damned are controlled by nobody but the Emperor.

This.

I also wouldn't count them as Space Marines at this point.

They may or may not have started out as such but they are not now if they ever were.

they're marines, they just have a weird version of Nurgle's rot

>>47939820
Marines have a specific structure, purpose and method behind their activities, compliance or at least acknowledgement with the Emperor's governments and require flesh to be present at least somewhere upon their old dead bones rather than just warp-fire and hate.

That sounds kinda heretical, anon

The old LotD were just flaming diseased marines. Then GW decided to go all Matt Ward on them and turn them into time traveling ghosts.

Oddly I like the change.

We already have afflicted marines of various types.

Time traveling ghosts powered by faith and hate and stubbornness is good.

Why did they remove the mystery from them?

>Traveling ghosts not cooler than diseased marines

Shut the fuck up.

There's still quite a bit of mystery. The old diseased lore was awful and this is one of the few instances of GW actually improving something.
