Cursed Founding

Hm. I think a cool defect would be the older they are, the paler they get and they start looking withered and old and they hair become really white? They can also start to become more and more dellusional and paranoid.

That just sounds like regular aging honestly.

Perhaps older marines have issues with losing their sight. Of course any blind marines will take advantage of bionic implants, except this isn't a perfect solution. For whatever reason, these implants can fail without reason, fostering a certain sense of paranoia amongst those forced to rely on them.

The chapter has quite the specific recruitment process where they will only recruit those who have died. Chapter doctrine teaches that only the dead know truth and clarity. Marshals of a medieval world, the chapter's Apothecarion are more than capable of saving those whose wounds were untreatable by their peers. In a fight between two champions, they'd prefer to take the one lying in a puddle of his own blood, providing he still matches their other criteria.

They're probably quite fond of Power scythes. 100% not affiliated with Nurgle before you ask.

Here's the dumbest thing you ever heard;

There's an inexplicable defect that, over the years they live, their skin starts to progressively burn in their suits during the heat of battle, so they have to plot their attacks heavily, or, emperor forbid, eventually have to discard their suits every once in a while while in rigorous combat.

One of the cursed founding were constantly on fire weren't they? I suppose there is a precedent for marines inexplicably burning.
