The Doom Eagles are an official Space Marine Chapter, descended from the Ultramarines in the Second Founding.
They are extremely grimdark. What, the fact that they're called "Doom Eagles" isn't enough? Their homeworld is dying, and they only choose Gathians who have lost everything of importance to them to become Aspirants. Here's what one of their Librarians has to say about them:
"All of creation suffers, young ones. Only in accepting our own mortality can we make a difference. Only in bearing the burden of our failures can we find the strength to go on. Only in detachment from glory, or honour, or jealousy... from life itself can we hope to spare others from grief. We are Doom Eagles. And we are dead already."
They use a LOT of Jump Packs and are considered to be some of the best practitioners of the Jump Assault, much to the chagrin of the Raven Guard and Blood Angels. Blood Angels and Raven Guard are repeatedly acknowledged to be the best at it.
The Blood Magpies stole a matching power axe and plasma pistol combo off them.
Also not to be confused with the Doom Legion, another Ultramarine chapter with similar name and colors.
The above quote mentions that the Doom Eagles seek to prevent other people from suffering. This automatically makes them one of the few chapters to give a crap about the rest of humanity.
