I´ll keep it as brief as possible. I tried to oppen a thread on this matter, but I either failed or requires validation. Given how general rules and M42/Primaris elements conform this thread (though granted mainly focused on the official date) I thought it appropriate to voice my querie here, I apologize if I am incorrect.

My question is, given how the events and information disclosed during the Dark Imperium novel regarding the access to traitor/lost geneseed, particularly Belisarius Cawl´s insistance to Guilliman in the many benefits of its use, (the whole conversation with the Cawl Inferior on the matter could be quoted) together with his disregard for both Imperial and Martian law, subtly suggest that he has indeed at least toyed with it, '''would the loyalist-based only space marine chapter creation policy be open for debate? '''

Even with suspicious official examples (Sons of the Phoenix), similar canon Astartes chapter cases are mentioned in those same policy articles as just speculation, so I would guess the answer is no. But after reading the novel I imagined Cawl hybridizing geneseed to create safely compliant templates to pass under Guilliman´s nose, like for example balancing the Night Lords ruthless justice with some Blood Angel compassion and righteous fury (and finally with write my way into this 40k fan-hall of heroes with a twisted enough idea).

But I also know how annoying snowflake fanfics sound, and with the arrival of the Primaris you must be tired of it, so I hope my pitch is not much so. Thanks
