I understand that. Having said that it would take centuries to gather the necessary Gene-seed, even if some of it was stolen. Then there is the other resources to worry about. Epuiping a whole new Chapter (or in this case Warband) from scratch takes massive amounts of resources, and for that matter coordination from the various massive agencies of the Imperium. A small Chaos Empire wouldn't have all the necessary materials, nor the coordination necessary to perform a founding.
