About the Space Marines' canon policy, we had a discussion of the loyalist traitors and the actual neccessity of that particular rule. Here: "There will also be no "loyalist traitors" (characters that were part of Traitor Legions and stayed loyal to the Emperor) who survive the Great Scouring. Also otherway around, there shall be no "traitor loyalists" (characters that were part of Loyalist Legions and turned to chaos) who survived the Great Scouring, except "the Fallen" and later Foundings' renegade chapters."

The bolstered text is the part I wish we'd rediscuss about. While the first sentence, "There will also be no 'loyalist traitors' (characters that were part of Traitor Legions and stayed loyal to the Emperor) who survive the Great Scouring" was written to ensure that no chapters were written which gene-seed was from traitor legions, there has been no numerous horrendous examples of traitor loyalists. Loyalist traitors always seemed to find out their gene-seed donated to one chapter or another, usually with the help of a somewhat corrupted inquisitor.

We also allow Thunder Warriors to survive the Great Scouring, so what is that with loyalist traitors.

Any ideas, thoughts?
