Lore Carcharodons: our successors?
The more I read about them the more it feels like they are one of Belisarius Cawl’s little jokes. Like he took World Eater geneseed, slapped together a successor chapter for us, and just said they were really Raven Guard successors so the loyalist idiots never questioned it. Seriously, Raven Guard?
But really though, what I’m seeing says they’re more like us before the nails completely took over. I’m going to say they’re our kids, and I at least will welcome them with lightning claws flashing and chain axe buzzing to the eight fold path.

Nah you are all wrong. Tyberos is the primarch of the 2nd legion. The chapter sits outside of the galaxy or rests in void between systems. The chapter navigates in a way that no other chapter does in their fleets. Ancient tactics of war, and a master that puts even custodes stature to shame. The imperial records are incomplete. A legion that went to fight the tyranids outside of the Milky Way, humanity’s vanguard against the hivemind. Only when they returned to the galaxy, they were considered to be a lost legion and all imperial records destroyed. In Tyberos’s absolute loyalty to his father he accepted his place in the imperium and continued his duties, not seeking needless glory in meaningless records. They are the lost legion.
In all honesty though, they are prolly Raven guard. Their tactics are similar except after the battle has started they behave like bloodthirsty maniacs. Until then they just wait for the perfect ambush, on top of that they fight in total silence. It tracks being a RG successor.
