Mistaken renegade chapters (such as the Lamenters, etc, from the Badab War)? Yes.
Minor point, but for anyone using the 'standard' 40kRP timeline (815-816.M41), the Badab War hasn't happened yet. Lufgt Huron had neglected paying his required tithes for the last sixty years or so, but it wouldn't be for another 85 years or so until the Badab War actually starts...
...which, interestingly, means that the Astral Claws chapter haven't yet become the Red Corsairs, and thus could easily turn up in a game of Deathwatch...
Good point! 
I'd forgotten about the "canon" date in Dark Heresy.
Yea, that'd be.... interesting

I do not speak in any official capacity for FFG, all my posts are my own opinion, speculation, etc.
One of Three Founders of Dark Reign
While the inquisition would probably not recruit from traitor legions (barring Dark Angels), I can certainly see a campaign being run outside of the background provided. Who says the marines you're playing need to be Deathwatch recruits. I'm sure they'll be room to incorporate home brew or heretical chapters in the game and you can basically start a campaign against the Imperium with your kill team instead.
As far as heretical marines working for the Inquisition and Ordo Xenos, I'm going to say Space Wolves and Blood Angels are the only acceptable heretics in Deathwatch that I'm aware of. Darn gene seed and it's instability. Dark Angels are heretics for a whole different reason.... but since the Imperium doesn't know about that, it really won't hurt them.... yet!

Traitor Marines that have been declared Extremis Traitoris (such as Alpha Legion and Soul Drinkers)? No. Not in a million years.
Yup, I agree with Millandson here. Could make for a fun chronicle, though. The player plays, for example, a Lamenters officer who is seeking penance in the eyes of the wider Astartes by becoming an ultra dedicated Deathwatch marine.
Its the one case where Space Marines may actually be able to go undercover. Finding a deceased space marine the Lamenter dons the dead marin's armour in the hopes of finding salvation using the name of another.
life is not a box of chocolates. At least that has an ingredients list.

I'm wondering what whould happen to a SM who is member of a traitor legion but was serving already in the DW when his Chapter was declared "traitor".
Of course he has no link with the relevant events so what whould his fate be ?
Most likely he would get lumped in with his brothers "just to be safe".
Honestly I think it would have more to do with how long said marine was assigned to the Deathwatch. Short time then likely to be purged, long time 50/50 chance of being allowed to continue service with the Imperium.

That would fall under "most likely".
Death is the only truth.

holy crap are you serious? now THERE would be one hell of a delema
Another lost chapter that we could conceivably see represented in the Deathwatch if the timeline meshes up would be the Astral Knights. I don't believe the battle against the Necron World Engine took place until the late 900's of M.41. How fun would it be to be playing an Astral Knight when word came through that 772 of your chapter brothers died destroying a Necron Weapon that could destroy planets?
"While I grieve for the passing of my battle-brothers, they fought the good fight and destroyed a powerful threat to the Imperium... What's that? A new founding? The Sable Swords, you say? Needs a core of veterans, they do? Sign me up."
