A chapter of the 21st Founding who were, unsurprisingly, some of the unluckiest bastards alive. The 21st founding was a secret founding to eliminate weakness in the geneseed and provide additional benefits. At first the Flame Falcons seemed perfectly normal and whatever faults had been with their geneseed appeared to be gone. Time would show what a great big lie that was.
During a battle the first company of the Flame Falcons suffered a geneseed mutation that caused them to burst into flames. The flames didn't seem to hurt the Falcons at all and it protected them from enemy attacks. Soon the entire chapter was immolated in this way everybody thought this was a pretty awesome party trick until an Inquisitor who had observed the battle decided "no Flame Falcons you are the demons". Makes you think what went SO FUCKING WRONG with the geneseed experiments that it caused the cells of the Space Marines to spontaneously combust. On the flip side, these guys would love the Fire Lords and Salamanders, and if they didn't get condemned for it, the latter two Chapters probably would've very much liked a refined version of the mutation.
Fast forward, excommunicate traitoris, Grey Knights, everybody dies in a (larger than usual) fire.
Well, not quite everyone. Some Flame Falcons escaped their burning homeworld and are now at large in the Imperium. Although how you will model marines on fire is anyone's guess. A good example, though, is that at least one Falcon signed on as a Deathwatch Blackshield for the Ordo Xenos.
Though over a decade ago, GW suggested that you could try marines on fire and provided rules for them, found here (handily /tg/ updated for 6th edition)
