Chaos Space Marines

Chaos Space Marines – Traitors of the Imperium in Service to the Dark Gods

Chaos Space Marines, also known as Heretic Astartes, are former defenders of the Imperium who turned their backs on the Emperor to follow the dark ways of Chaos. The traitorous Chaos warrior warbands are made up of renegades, pirates and mighty legions capable of wreaking havoc across the galaxy Warhammer 40,000. Their organization, though twisted and chaotic, often follows specific structures, from smaller raiding parties to massive invasion forces such as the Black Crusades, who seek to destroy the Imperium of Man under the leadership of their blasphemous leaders.

Heretic Astartes - Soldiers of the Eternal War

Chaos Space Marines are the elite within the ranks of Chaos, once immortal warriors of the Emperor who turned against their creator to serve the Dark Gods. Their devotion to the Chaos Gods is fanatical, and their mission is to spread chaos and destruction in the name of Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch or Slaanesh. From the lowest renegade to the veteran of many Warp battles, each of these Corruptors is willing to sacrifice everything to gain power in the eternal war that rages across the galaxy.

Chaos Space Marines seek the power granted by the Dark Gods. They pray for unholy gifts, in exchange for which they offer the most blasphemous sacrifices. Their Masters, often embodying the corrupted traits of their patrons, lead armies in devastating campaigns to spread chaos and destroy the Imperium. Their devotion to the Chaos Gods makes them some of the most ruthless and unpredictable opponents on the battlefield.

Chaos Space Marine Factions - Legions in Service to the Dark Gods

In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, each Chaos Space Marine faction follows a different Chaos God, and their actions are inspired by different aspects of Corruption:

• World Eaters - Devoted to Khorne, the Blood God, the World Eaters are Legionaries who live only to to fight and shed blood. Their brutality and ruthlessness on the battlefield are unmatched, and their every attack is furious and devastating.
• Death Guard – Followers of Nurgle, the god of decay, they are masters of biological warfare. Death Guard are immortal warriors who radiate disease and corruption. Their resilience and indestructibility make them one of the most dangerous opponents.
• Thousand Sons – Legionnaires of Tzeentch, masters of magic and spells. Thousand Sons wield the power to alter reality, using magic to deceive enemies and change the course of events. Their psionic abilities make them dangerous and unpredictable opponents.
• Emperor's Children - Devoted to Slaanesh, the God of Pleasure, the Emperor's Children are legionaries who thrive on pain and destruction. Their fighting style is both brutal and sophisticated, and their hedonistic desires drive them to commit the most monstrous atrocities.

Black Crusades and the Long Wars

The Chaos Space Marines have waged their Black Crusades for centuries, constantly attacking the forces of the Imperium. The most famous of these campaigns are those led by Abaddon, the Chaos Warmaster, who is hell-bent on the complete destruction of the Imperium. The Black Crusades are not just brutal invasions, but carefully planned operations that aim to spread chaos and heresy on a grander scale.

Veterans of the long wars of the Warp, such as the Iron Legion, Night Lords, and Alpha Legion, are corrupted by centuries of fighting, becoming even more dangerous and treacherous. Their experience and hatred of the Imperium make them exceptionally dangerous opponents, willing to sacrifice everything to bring about the Imperium's downfall.
