How heretical would the following be?
Space marine chapter (Forge Born) with close ties to admech, adeptus biologicus in particular.
biologicus provides recruits via iron wombs and a eugenics programs
Chapter has no home world its based in/on a fleet which protects a space station called the labyrinth
The labyrinth is used to cull and train recruits
Chapter has very low numbers as a result
Chapter is focused on small unit tactics

It's not that heretical, it is scorned upon, but not heretical. Krieg does something similar to that.

Problems would arise if the Biologicus are dicking around with the geneseed. That tends to draw unfavourable attention from the Inquisition and any relevant First Founding Chapter, unless the Adeptus Biologicus had sanction from them in the first place.

Good to know thanks anons
What colors do you think would fit?
What kind of Sigil? Maybe a maze?

Mechanical wings, call them Sons of Icarus or the Icarian Brotherhood or something along those lines.
The eugenics programs isnt heretical, the Crimson Fists tried one by using the offspring failed aspirants as recruitment pool, they stopped because it wasnt working and the mechanicum develop their babies on tubes rather than wombs. Krieg is seen as almost heresy for whatever technology they are using, probably some sort of speeding process so tube-babies are born faster like the DEldar use.

I think any colours will work. Just find a combination that looks good. You could go with Gunmetal or a galvanized black metal colour if you want to tie it in with the name.
Since they're called the Forge Born, then maybe an anvil or hammer paired with some other symbol(s) like a bolter, a sword, a lightning bolt, eagle wings, anything Imperialish that looks good.

I like the idea of metallic colors, it makes a lot of sense.
I really prefer using some kind of simple maze as the chapter symbol.

It's not viewed as heresy, just as exceptionally brutal and inhuman to the point where it makes even Commissars uncomfortable to think about.
The two are very different things.
