I know that most custom SM chapters typically involves making an offshoot of a pre-established chapter, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice for creating a chapter based on the idea of one of the unknown/redacted primarchs. I’m sure that implementing such an idea would involve a hell of a lot of knowledge concerning the lore & finagling to make things make sense & not completely break the lore too much, but I feel like I would want to try something like this for one chapter idea that has been in my mind for a while now.

 

I suppose the long & the short of it is: has anyone else ever tried to implement a new primarch into the lore & made it make sense? If so, what tips would you give to others who aspire to do the same?

So little has ever been written about the 2nd and 11th Primarchs that it is almost hard to be wrong. You can come up with almost anything you like since there is little to contradict.

 

Fulgrim mentions on one occasion that the 2nd Primarch was a particularly dour and joyless individual. Given that their brotherhood included people like Perturabo and Curze, the 2nd must have been a real party-pooper for that to stand out as his defining characteristic. You could reflect this in the lore by having your Chapter be particularly gloomy in outlook. 

Many chapters outside the big ones dont know or care who their primarch was. I wouldnt worry too much about it and just make up something fun. You can make up anything and say "Its rumoured their geneseed came from a forbidden source" or something similar.
