Ah yes my marines... The Adjective Nouns.

one of those fantastic twists of this hobby. Going ahead and tryin to make something more "ours"

There are a lot of space marine chapters listed in the official list of space marines over at Lexicanum, they exist in name only so that's a good place to go to get ideas for a new chapter, sometimes there is one photo of what they look like which helps. Good luck!

I made a chapter called "Dark Phoenix." Most of the legonaries are psykers and primarily use power swords, axes, and bolter pistols and use a phalinx formation to get up close to unleash superhuman psyker wraith upon their enemies. They can trace their liniage back to the dark angels however they are more interested in protecting civilians as they believe honor is found in protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Their mortal enemies are tyranids, all eldar, and the Tau

The chapter I created years ago was called the Tempest Marines. I love the spit color paint schemes so I did left half white, right side teal. I had a devistator squad called Heavy rain that was all missle launchers. Might be time to start them again now that there are cool rules for successor chapters.

Used this to create My "The Drakes Ascendant" salamander successor chapter, I gave them a mix of vulkan and dorn gemeseed, mainly sticking with black templars but with more yellow for higher ranks as an omage to imperial fist heratige, they defend with walls of fire ahead of built defenses, pushing enemies back away from the immoble defenses, using heavy weaponry, armour and fire. They usually stand fast sending out distress signals so other chapters can arrive to help attack while they defend.

Been working on my own chapter as my first army. The “Salvators” are a listed officially as an “unknown founding” chapter, their true lineage known only to the inner circle of captains and the chapter master. (Spoilers, they’re Lunar Wolves) They are an incredibly adaptable chapter, able to tackle most situations they have to, but come with a penchant for holding ground and working with heavy machinery. They are excellent craftsmen, their home world both being incredibly rich in minerals and orbiting a forge world, granting them lots of relics, ancient patterns of armour they stole when they split from Horus, and a rather potent fleet complement. Their main concern is the preservation of human life, seeing that as the only path to redemption for the sins of their gene-father. Their cry exemplifies this: “The sins of the father, on the blood of his sons!” As for colour scheme, they are coloured teal with a gold trim, and both left arm and leg are gold as well. The top of their power pack, the plat on the back, the midsection plate and the bottom of Primaris helmets are also gold. Some come with an iron coloured Aquila as well as Indomitus symbols. They appear very knightly, as I try to replace the helmets with old Horus heresy heads and give them as much robes and scriptures as I can. The robes are typically a bright red or a tan colour. Overall, pretty happy with them so far. Working on a consistent colour scheme for the sergeants, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. Loving what you’re doing here mate, keep it up!

The chizzle wizzlers- they try to ally themselves with anything that can communicate with their charismatic demeanor

I’m new to 40k. Known about it for years and thought now was the time to delve in. Watching this gave me an idea of making a splinter chapter of the Space Wolves using Klingon Star Trek Micromachine ships as parts for the Marines. I have a tone of ships from when I was a kid so this video sparked my imagination. We shall see.

My chapter is the 'Brothers of Mars' I started with adeptus mechanicus but I wanted to beef up my army with space marines so I made a chapter of primaris marines that were the test subjects of Belisaurius Cawl and his elite task force.

Cataphracts of the Gorgon, a purple host with a love of terminators and dreadnoughts that’s determined to inflict the pain they felt at istvan on their enemies

Love this, very simple way to introduce people to homebrewing chapters! Definitely used a variety of these same steps to come up with mine; decided on The Exculpators, a Dark Angels successor chapter. Got the name from the verb Exculpate, or to "declare someone not guilty of wrongdoing". Felt it was perfect, considering their connection to the Fallen, and of their mission is to 'exculpate' their progenitors of their blemished history.

Hit and run with that kid in the jeep is hilarious

Here’s a introduction for my custom chapter. The Steel Vultures The Steel Vultures are a renowned Space Marine Chapter known for their relentless pursuit and obsession with technology, whether it originates from mankind or alien civilizations. Their insatiable thirst for knowledge and mastery of technological advancements sets them apart among the Adeptus Astartes. Founded during the early days of the Imperium, the Steel Vultures' origins can be traced back to the remote Forge World of Cygnus Prime. The Chapter's gene-seed is believed to be derived from the illustrious Iron Hands, a lineage known for their affinity with machinery and cybernetic enhancements. This connection to the Iron Hands has heavily influenced the Steel Vultures' focus on technology. The Chapter's fortress-monastery, known as the Technomar, stands as a testament to their dedication. Located within the heart of a vast forge complex, the Technomar serves as a hub of innovation and experimentation. Within its hallowed halls, the Steel Vultures constantly seek to expand their understanding of technological marvels, studying both human and xenos artifacts. The Chapter's Librarians play a crucial role, utilizing their psychic abilities to unlock the mysteries hidden within ancient texts and data fragments. The Steel Vultures' obsession with technology extends to their combat doctrine. They excel in siege warfare, utilizing a wide array of heavy weaponry and armored vehicles to devastating effect. Their tactical flexibility allows them to adapt swiftly to various battlefield conditions, leveraging their technological expertise to gain an advantage over their adversaries. In their relentless pursuit of technological superiority, the Steel Vultures are known to go to extreme lengths. They will embark on perilous missions, infiltrating enemy strongholds and xenos worlds to acquire rare and powerful artifacts. Their scavenging nature has earned them a reputation as opportunistic hunters, preying upon the spoils of war and the remnants of fallen empires. The Chapter's obsession with technology, however, has not been without consequences. Some criticize the Steel Vultures for their single-mindedness, claiming that their thirst for knowledge sometimes eclipses their duty to the Imperium. Additionally, their relentless pursuit of alien technology has caused friction with other Imperial forces, particularly those who hold xenos artifacts in disdain. Despite these criticisms, the Steel Vultures remain steadfast in their belief that the power of technology can be harnessed to protect humanity and advance the Imperium's cause. They see themselves as the vanguard of progress, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and utilizing every tool at their disposal to ensure victory. In summary, the Steel Vultures are a Space Marine Chapter driven by an insatiable obsession with technology. Their pursuit of knowledge and mastery in this realm sets them apart, making them formidable warriors on the battlefield. While their single-mindedness may draw criticism, the Steel Vultures remain unwavering in their belief that technology holds the key to humanity's survival and progress within the Imperium. What are your thoughts?

I had some fun making my custom chapter, the Heralds of Judgement, mostly because they are a loyalist successor chapter to a traitor legion. Specifically, their first chapter master was a Night Lord who basically had a mid-battle shock of realization that while Konrad supposedly stood for justice and punishing the guilty, they now were the guilty and had fallen completely into little better than criminals. So he gathered a group that felt similarly to him, slaughtered a squadron of Night Lords and faked their own deaths, before throwing themselves on the mercy of the Raven Guard, asking for the chance to redeem themselves. They are officially listed as a Raven Guard successor to hide their true origins, though a lot of suspicion falls on them due to no one actually being able to find where they came from, and they seeming to be a fixation of the Inquisition, with an extremely high number of them being used under Inquisitorial and Deathwatch service. So they have spent the following 10 thousand years doing nothing except training to fight Chaos Marines while hunting and killing them anywhere they can, even splitting into 9 distinct brotherhoods that each focus specifically on one of the traitor legions in their training and methods.

If I made my own chapter it would either be the Sons of the Phoenix (which is a pre existing color scheme admittedly, white with a purple arm and knee pad and gold trim) or the Celestial Lions (gold but with blue helm and shoulders), and imperial fists successor. Ultramarines are still about the most cool looking though...

My chapter is the 'Cadian Emmisaries'. An Ultramarine sucessor chapter, founded after the fall of Cadia, to track down and eliminate Black Leigon sympathisers. Their armour is painted in the same colours as Cadian Shock Troopers, and the lenses of their helmets are a light purple, to honour the purple eyes of the citizens of Cadia.

You know I hope someone sees this, but I am currently building my custom chapter that I named Atla's Legion. Simple but I used the titan Atlas as inspiration since Atlas and the mythology around the character have a great deal of meaning to me

My homebrew are "the golden wraiths" a chapter of mercenary space marines selling there services to planetary governor and rouge traders at a price. they use this money to buy relics. As the first box I picked getting back into 40k was betrayal at cauth and therefore I need an excuse for my marines to have 10,000 year old relic armour and gear. Since then the army has swelled.
