I "have" two:

Knights Pacificus
A fleet-based chapter of 7 companys. They once produced marine pilots (Land Speeders, Tempests, Thunderhawks) second only in skill to those of the Dark Angels Ravenwing Company. Now wiped out except for a lone Veteran called Hunrik who remains on permanent attachment to the Deathwatch.

Nova Lords

Also a fleet-based chapter, originally followed a crusading fighting and recruiting style similar to the Black Templars. Over the years they became disenchanted though and swayed from the light of the Emperor. Their recruitments became focused primarily from seven planets scattered across the Imperium. They had been secret chaos worshippers for some twenty years before the events of the Pennatus Crusade.
The Pennatus Crusade was launched by the Imperium to repulse the growing mini-empire of the Daemon Prince Pennatus. One of the threatened planets was Lorna, one of the key recruiting worlds of the Nova Lords.
As such, the entire chapter, numbering some 1,400 marines, amassed alongside nine guard regiments to defend the jungle-covered planet. At the key moment in the opening stages of both the major space enguagment and the ground assaults by the forces of chaos, the Nova Lords showed their true colours and fell upon the guardsmen and imperial warships with abandon, now fighting alongside the chaos forces.
The Nova Lords have since been branded Excommunicate, but not before Lornas defenders were wiped out to a man and the planet left in ruins, unwanted by either side.
There are several Inquisitorial reports on the turning of the Nova Lords and the unusual events which took place on Lorna, which is now believed by some to be an Eldar maiden world.

The Nova Lords have since renamed themselves the Nova Legion and are suspected of retreating to a system in the Maelstrom controlled by their new allies, a traitor chapter known as The Ghosts Of Damnation.


The Nova Legion are my new chaos space marine army - all this fluff was developed IC on The Conclave as part of the Pennatus Crusade, a monumental RP with about thirty people taking part in events on eight different planets.
