→Known Attempts
*In [[M31]], due to the heavy losses the [[Raven Guard]] [[Legion]] sustained during the [[Isstvan V]] massacre, [[Corax]] attempted to replace his numbers and return to combat readiness as quickly as possible. Due to the secretive nature of the Raven Guard chapter, little is known of the success of the chapter's attempt at cloning, however many rumours circulate in the ranks of other chapters describing the outbreak of [[mutants]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
*In [[M41]], in the wake of the disastrous [[Arkio]] Insurrection, [[Apothecary Majoris]] [[Caecus]] of the [[Blood Angels]] proposed using replication. Commander [[Dante]] disapproved, but Caecus continued his research in secret. Caecus believed he had succeeded with the aid of a mysterious [[Magos Biologis]], but his creations, the [[BloodfiendBloodfiends]]s, though at first promising, turned into bloodthirsty monsters, manifesting extreme versions of the Blood Angels' geneseed flaws, the [[Black Rage]] and the [[Red Thirst]]. It is uncertain how much of this catastrophe was accident caused by Caecus's incomplete knowledge, and how much was deliberately engineered by the Magos (who turned out to be the traitor [[Fabius Bile]] in disguise).{{Fn|1}}
