At this point in my campaign the players are about to witness the launch of a retaliation fleet formed by the Mechanicus, more specifically the Divine Light of Sollex Cult under the leadership of a new Archmagos, against a group within the Expanse. It is not uncommon for such a force to be accompanied by Space Marines to provide extra support.
Which Chapter within the immediate vicinity would be most likely to respond? More importantly perhaps, which Chapter would also be an interesting group for RP when the Explorers arrive at Port Wander where the fleet is massing and interact with them.
My first guess were Storm Wardens and Iron Hands as they are both close by, yet I know little of the Storm Wardens beyond what Deathwatch has taught me and from that they seem too secretive to provide a force to such a large and very public endeavor. Meanwhile with the Iron Hands I see the problem of having the Space Marines act too much like their Mechanicus allies, I feel like I would just be playing the same vibe as the Magi of the Sollex Cult just in power armour.
Next on the list would be Imperial Fists, but do you guys have any suggestions for me that I may have overlooked?
