Chaos Space Marines are Space Marines who have fallen and been corrupted by the powers of Chaos. Once loyal warriors of the Imperium, the Traitor Legions now bear a burning hatred for the "False Emperor", and all those who serve him.

The Mark of Nurgle is a Mark of Chaos given to Nurgle's greatest followers causing them to become a living host to the powers of death, disease and decay. Heretics with the Mark of Nurgle are marked with either a physical mark corroded into their corrupted flesh or a hidden but no less permanent mark upon their soul.

Due to the nature of Chaos, and the temporal instability of the Warp, many of the very same Chaos Space Marines who revolted against the Emperor more than 10 millennia ago continue to fight against the Imperium today, having effectively been granted a tortured immortality by the will of the Ruinous Powers.

Meaning that in the Slaves to Darkness Detachment, each time they perform a Dark Pact, they receive all five bonuses.

He fought with incredible speed and skill in the gladiatorial contests Fulgrim held when the Legion was travelling from world to world.

The Chapter Tactic for the Ultramarines is very strong. The ability to Fall Back and shoot is now rare in 9th edition, making Ultramarines difficult to deal with in melee as they're able to just drop back and shoot you and, with the Fall Back and Re-Engage Stratagem, charge as well.

Mephiston is the Chief Librarian of The Blood Angels and is the most powerful psyker of all the Space Marines. Originally known as Calistarius, Mephiston is the only known gene-son of Sanguinius to overcome the Black Rage twice.

If you're looking for a few early ideas, the Ultramarines are a great place to start.
