In the grimdark future of the 42nd Millennium, there is War and a small glimmer of hope. A Primarch has returned, and the Space Wolves are strong once more. The Black Rage has been cured, and the Blood Angels have been freed of their Father's death curse. And against the odds, the failure of the Astronomican has been averted by the sacrifice of the Iron Hands. The Imperium stands still, many centuries into the Age of Ending, and it has much to thank for. And many believe that it is the 27th Founding that made it so.
The 13th Black Crusade is still a painful memory, and the War for Baal has been pronounced the 14th Black Crusade. Both have claimed the lives of thousands of marines, consumed entire Chapters in the furnace of war. The 27th Founding brought new life into the Adeptus Astartes, and despite a tumultuous beginning, they quickly proved their worth, leaping into action entire decades before a more traditional Master would consider them fit for duty - and not only surviving, against the odds, but thriving.
But the work of this so-called Miracle Founding is not yet complete. The Imperium is still beset on all sides by their countless enemies.
Survival isn't guaranteed. Success is not even visible. But they shall do their duty, and stand beside the Imperium.
The 27th Founding, and all their Brothers before them, shall stand against the Long Night.
And they shall have Glory or Death.

The Emperor works in mysterious ways. Some of those ways stand in His light, others are cloaked in unknowable darkness, but many of them walk the epehermal Grey Path that only the righteous may follow without sin or heresy. All of them follow His grand design for His Imperium that we all serve with our lives, working for the survival of the whole, even if to the detriment of the individual. Great as the species of Man is, to have conquered the stars twice amidst the countless foes arrayed against it, they are but mere mortal men. And mere men must make do with cooperation, each a vital but ultimately replaceable cog in the grand machine of the Imperium of Man. You, however, are no mere cog in the system. You are a mover, a changer, one with purpose and the means to advance it.
You are a Space Marine, one of the Emperor's Finest, and one that bears His touch through the holy Gene-Seed, the diluted might of the Primarchs themselves, the sons of the Master of Mankind. More than that, you are a Chapter Master, one who stands above all but a scant few of his brothers, his fellows in leadership. Your name resounds across Sectors as a stalwart defender of man, a curse by your many foes and a rallying cry by the countless many you have saved. You are a warrior without equal, a tactician without flaw. You stand as Peer to Inquisitors, Fabricator-Generals, even the High-Lords of Terra themselves. You are one of one thousand, in an empire of quintillions. And you will enact His will, for in these dark days of the 42nd Millennium, His Will is the only one that ensures mankind's survival.
The paths that you walk are many, not all of them immediately beneficial, and none of them easy. But you shall walk them regardless. For you are a Space Marine. And Not Even In Death Does Duty End.
[X] Glory or Death: The year is 200.M42, and the Crimson Crusaders are a Chapter in Recovery. Fresh from the fires of Krumpburny, they emerge triumphant beneath the thromping feet of a Legion of Titans. Aurelius Asterion leads them, and though he is called Deviant and Heretic by many a man, few can doubt his loyalty, his will, and his skills with a sword. Though the War for Baal has ended a decade ago, he is confused and troubled. He needs time to think, to brood, to reaffirm his own path. But his Chapter will go on, as it always has. And when he has finally put the Ghosts of Acheron to rest once more, he will return, and paint the foes of Man crimson with their own blood. Continue the Story - Chapter Master Quest

I'm torn between continuing of as Aurelius or voting for the one set in 44k.

Is it possible to play this as the Crimson Crusaders? I don't want to give them up, as Aurelius and the rest have grown on me, but playing post-canon would be very interesting...
My favorite would be Thousand Sons (since I love the idea of having a chapter full of psychics) but the Iron Warriors are certainly an interesting alternative.

Nah, Sons have the Blood Ravens.
But the Warriors, I kinda like them.

Yes. In fact, you're playing the Crimson Crusaders.
...Kind of. Of the forty thousand Space Marines left, you're going to be one of the five hundred Blood Angels left alive.
