I’m working on a concept for a Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine chapter inspired by the Sith from Star Wars. Before I dive into creating something completely new, I’d love to know which existing 40K chapters might align with the Sith’s themes, combat styles, and overall vibe. The Thousand Sons come to mind because of their dark powers, but they don’t really capture the melee aspect that I’m looking for. Any suggestions on other chapters or factions that fit better?

If you’re looking for something to fit that dark vibe, Emperor’s Children or Word Bearers might be what you want. They have members with strong psychic powers and melee skills, like evil space wizards if that’s your jam! But finding a whole faction that’s unified under that melee wizard concept could be tricky.
Honestly, when you think of the Sith’s backstabbing and power-hungry nature, it kind of describes a lot of Chaos Space Marines, right? It’s like every CSM embodies that energy, so you might find relatable elements across the board!
Exactly! I’m looking for that sweet spot where psychic powers and close combat come together.
