    DOW is terrible in that it makes the majority of the Chaos characters come of as more sympathetic and simply cooler than all the Blood Raven loyalists. It doesn't help either that the characters in-game believe a fair chunk of the Blood Ravens to be incompetent idiots. The derpfest that is Diomedes didn't help their case either.

    Yep I sure do... Doesn't everyone :)

    That said and aside, The Imperial Armour books allow for full loyalist play or Tyrants legion (which is when they have gone kinda sideways, and also the most fun way to play them) and then yes you could also make a chaos army. Which gives me an idea, with some clever purchases you could build and convert a set of miniatures that would work in all three roles which makes a fun construction project as well.

    Also have you seen the Non-Chaos Huron, he sure can kick some tushy (and the model is brilliant).

    There's always: Grey Knights.
    Its an Army of Psychic Power wielding, Force Weapon Armed, Demon Hunters.
    Who can field Terminators. As Troops.
    And their Elite Terminators (Paladins) get 2 wounds :D
  4. I think this thread is more of a lore thing not a tabletop discussion :p

    Lore wise,
    Having a secret Chapter made of a select few, given access to the best gear the Imperium can muster, as the warriors of the Emperor who were made to frontline the demonic incursions.

    Id say that'd be equally pleasing.
  6. GREY KNIGHTS- NOPE
    ULTRAMARINES- BORING
    BLOOD ANGELS- TWILIGHT NOPE
    IMPERIAL FISTS- DORN WILL THANK YOU.

    In fairness to this, they could have just made yet another Ultramarine successor chapter, there's some thought at least that's finally went into the backstory of the BR.
