| 14-20 | Eternally Loyal: Secret commands from high-ranking Imperial Lords demanded this chapter's secession from the Imperium, whether for unspecified reasons or for a particular mission. |
| 21-27 | Chaos Use: They somehow came to discover the power of Chaos tainted weapons, and began using such artifacts. It was not long before they were driven out. |
| 28-34 | Hereteks: Chapter began to dabble in technologies beyond them, and found themselves enemies with the Mechanicum, who forced them out of the Imperium. |
| 35-41 | Xenophilia: The Chapter was friendly with a group of Xenos and collaborated with them a bit too frequently. When the Ordo Xenos found out, they had the Chapter excommunicated. |
| 42-48 | Bitter Resentment: The chapter(s) were plagued by mutations, and became fed up with the treatment of their Chapter(s) by other forces of the Imperium, and chose to strike off on their owned. |
| 49-55 | Political Suicide: Several bad political decisions and affiliations made this chapter a victim of their own ineptitude, being declared traitors and forced to flee from their former allies. |
| 56-62 | Codex Diversitas: The Codex Astartes is a Marine's life-line, and this chapter diverged too greatly from it's rules and regulations, causing their ultimate expulsion from the Imperium of Man. |
| 63-69 | Emperor's Light: These Marines saw the Imperium as a perversion of the Emperor's will, deemed its festering bureaucracy beyond redemption, and rebelled in order to try and stay true to the Emperor. |

| 77-83 | Destiny: The seeds of their leaving the Imperium were implanted long ago, be it by their founders, another institution, or some other force this was always going to happen... |
| 84-92 | Cult of Personality: A single Champion within the Chapter(s) whose philosophy and ideals have lead the marines down their own path. |
| 93-100 | Lust for Adventure: These Marines saw a life free from the Imperium and their restrictions enticing, and left seeking high adventure at whatever the cost! |
Properties and Defects
| Geneseed Mutation Severity (d20) ( For Bitter Resentment, roll a 1d2 for either Significant or Heavy Mutation) | |
|---|---|
| 1-10 | Pure Geneseed |
| 11-14 | Minor Flaw: Geneseed takes a new form from its predecessor's. |
| 15-19 | Significant Mutation: Roll once on the Geneseed Mutation table. |
| 20 | Heavy Mutation: Roll twice on the Geneseed Mutation tables. |
| If they have one, what mutation do they have? (This doesn't include mutations passed down from their founders, like the Imperial Fists' lack of a Betcher's Gland and Sus-an Membrane.) | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hyper-stimulated Omophagea - Eat the enemy! |
| 2 | Oversensitive Occulobe - "I'm in the dark and I can see perfectly! How usefuAAAAH THE SUN'S COMING UP HOLY EMPEROR MY EYES" |
| 3 | Mutated Catalepsean Node - Yeah, just go here. It's basically the same effect. |
| 4 | Oolitic Secretions - Weird-coloured skin. Yeah, that's it. |
| 5 | Disturbing Voice - Ranges from speaking like a creaking floorboard to having a deep, booming voice. |
| 6-8 | Lost zygote - If you don't understand this one, why are you even trying to make a Chapter? |
| 9 | Doomed - the Chapter has either lost the ability to generate Progenoids or the Black Carapace, stopping future neophytes from being created. Unless they fix this fast, they're fucked. |
| 10 | Multiple instabilities - roll d3 more times on the table, rerolling multiples of the same result. |
| If one exists, what is the Chapter's Flaw? (d10) | |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Acute paranoia - The renegades believe that everyone is out to get them and the Imperium looks around every corner to purge them. They trust no one but themselves and are extremely cautious. |
| 3–4 | Pride in the Colours - The Chapter hates doing anything that covers their livery, including wearing Deathwatch black. |
| 5–6 | Kleptomania - The renegades tend to take anything valuable not nailed down, and then rip up the things that are nailed down. |
| 7–8 | Eye to Eye - The Chapter hates any method of warfare other than running up to the enemy and punching them. |
| 9-10 | Chapter Cult - The practices of the Chapter are wierd and probably quite unsavory. |
Lastly, add a name, colours, and heraldry. God-Emperor help us all.
