A chapter of the 21st Founding who were, unsurprisingly, some of the unluckiest bastards alive. The 21st founding was a secret founding to eliminate weakness in the geneseed and provide additional benefits. At first the Flame Falcons seemed perfectly normal and whatever faults had been with their geneseed appeared to be gone. Time would show what a great big lie that was.
During a battle the first company of the Flame Falcons suffered a geneseed mutation that caused them to burst into flames. The flames didn't seem to hurt the Falcons at all and it protected them from enemy attacks. Soon the entire chapter was immolated in this way everybody thought this was a pretty awesome party trick until an Inquisitor who had observed the battle decided "no Flame Falcons you are the demons".
Fast forward, excommunicate traitoris, Grey Knights, everybody dies in a (larger than usual) fire.
Well, not quite everyone. Some Flame Falcons escaped their burning homeworld and are now at large in the Imperium. Although how you will model marines on fire is anyone's guess.
