Everything has suggested they use the Emperor's gene seed, seems a done thing. They also recruit psykers, "often drawn directly from the black ships"

Borad, to be a space marine one must have a gene seed



Aldaron, I'm interested why you think Montarion's gene seed was used? He has no psychic ability or any particular daemon killing achievements? The 8 space marines who were present at the founding were of various legions and could not create 1000 space marines from their gene seed alone.
