I going with the Minotaurs. They have a good Greek aesthetic which they make use of. They also have the best weapons available because of their ties with the High Lords which has its own little appeal. There's also a good chance that they're loyalist Iron Warriors which really turns me on

>>51654663

I always thought they were loyalist World Eaters.

>>51640545
Marines Malevolent, because they're such fucking assholes, even by 40K standards. I wish there was more lore on them.

Also, I like the Red Scorpions' colours and Mk IV armour fetish.

>>51651822
They're pretty good when a reasonable author writes them. Less so when you get the "Space Wolves Wolf Lord Wulf "Wulfenwolf" Wulfsson on Thunderwolf, equipped with wolf pelts and wolf claws" shit.

>>51647344

>>51654880
There evidence for them being World Eater/War Hound or Iron Warrior descendants. World Eater of course because of their aggressive tactics and being known for attacking even friends in the midst of battle.

However there is also evidence that they could be Iron Warrior. For example the Iron Warriors were known for both overwhelming firepower and aggressive melee, even without the butcher nails that the World Eaters later had. Another thing that could point towards them being IW descendants is that they always keep their numbers high and Perturabo had one of the most stable geneseed. For me personally, their Greek nature marks them out as loyalist Iron Warriors considering their home planet was called Olympia.

>>51654368

Something like that yeah. Less specialized and more just generally sneaky and tactical though.

>>51655030
Could also be neither. "Angry dudes" and "not-Greeks" are archetypes that tend to get used quite a bit, so it could be that the resemblance is because they draw on the same character types and source material. Don't fall into the trap of assuming that every Chapter is a clone of its founding Legion.

>>51655045
And less Rambo.

>>51655854
They do have successors, they just didn't have any in the Second Founding due to low numbers after the Drop Site Massacre. The Black Dragons and Storm Giants are Salamander Successors.

>>51655854
They have two suspected cases. I suspect the tendency to avoid using them could be because they've always been smaller than other Chapters, and not the most Codex-compliant structure-wise. Maybe they can't afford to spare the gene-seed for Successors.

>>51656046
How can a successor chapter to the Salamanders only bee "suspected" when their primary geneseed mutation turns them literally black with glowing red eyes? Seems to me like that would be a dead giveaway.

Storm Giants because there's fuck-all lore about them, and Black Dragons because their gene-seed is probably too mutated to even be recognisable. Also, you're making mistake of assuming that GW writers know their own lore.

A while back I kept going back and forth between which Chapter I really liked. It's really hard to pick a chapter that isnt super angsty (BA/IF) or super WE ARE THE BEST AT EVERYTHING, LOOK AT HOW GREAT WE ARE (BT/SS). I used to like Imperial Fists before I found out about the pain glove. After that I fucked off on that idea trying to get away from the teen angst and finally settled on some dudes who just fucking kill shit well and don't swing dicks about it. Crimson Fists.

>>51656534
Crimson Fists have a Land Raider more badass than most chapters, choice approved.

Well the Sons of Medusa got kicked out for hating too hard.

Kicked out of the Iron Hands.

For hating too hard.

Think about that

>>51656657
Naw, they got nobledarked recently, thanks to the Black Templars.

>>51656739

Sons of Medusa kicked all the other clans out for not hating ENOUGH.

>>51656821
One way or another, sons of Medusa called the iron hands - who once killed a third of a sector for the crime of getting conquered - a bunch of soft beta pussies.

>>51656681
>They are not my hands.

>This fact is forgotten by my brothers - inexplicably, it has always seemed to me. The hands are strong, to be sure, and have created great things for us all, but they are not mine. And that counts for something.They forget that the silver on my arms comes from a beast that I vanquished. It is the mark of a great evil that I ended, and yet it persists within me... I would struggle to remove it now... I will not remove the silver from my flesh because I have learned to depend on it. The fault is with my mind. I rely on the augmentation given to me by my metal gauntlets, so much so that the flesh beneath them is now little more than a distant memory...

>A day will come when I will strip it from me, lest I lose the power to master myself forever. Already my Legion's warriors replace their shield hands with metal in my honour, and so they too are learning to doubt the natural strength of their bodies. They must be weaned off this practice before it becomes a mania for them. Hatred of what is natural, of what is human, is the first and greatest of the corruptions. So I record it here: when the time comes, I will strip my hands of their unnatural silver. I will instruct my Legion to recant their distrust of the flesh. I will turn then away from the gifts of the machine and bid them relearn the mysteries of flesh, bone and blood. When my father's Crusade is over, this shall be my sacred task. When the fighting is done, I shall cure my Legion and myself. For if fighting is all there is, if we may never pause to reflect on what such devotion to strength is doing to us, then our compulsion will only grow. Already I see the madness that path leads to, and so I shall excise the silver from my hands. In doing so I shall weaken myself and my sons, but nonetheless it must be done. The hands are strong, and have created great things, but they are not mine.
