Chaos Marines

Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marines Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

The Chaos Marines are a faction from UK-Based Games Workshop's Tabletop Wargame Warhammer 40,000. The Chaos Space Marines (also known as Traitor Marines, Heretic Astartes or Traitor Legionnaires) are counted among the most powerful servants of the Powers of Chaos.

Ten thousand years ago, Horus, Warmaster of the Imperium and most trusted 'son' of the Emperor, fell to Chaos. Besides the Space Marine Legion under his direct command, the Sons of Horus, eight of his brother-Primarchs and their legions also joined him in the Horus Heresy against the Emperor. Horus was slain at the ultimate conflict of the Heresy, the Battle of Terra, the rebellion broken, and the defeated Traitor Legions hounded into the Eye of Terror, which remains both their prison and sanctuary to this day. The Chaos Space Marines have not forgotten their defeat in the HOrus Heresy, and for the last ten thousand years have waged the Long War against the Imperium.

Within the confines of the hellish zone of the Galaxy known as the Eye of Terror, the banished Chaos Space Marines have created their own Imperium of Chaos. In the most Chaos-saturated region of the galaxy, time flows differently, and few in the ten thousand years of their exile have escaped mutation in some form. Within the Eye, the Chaos Marines fight among themselves for gene-seed, resources, or for the greater glory. The Traitor Legions are far more driven by their hatred of the Imperium than by internecine rivalry. From the Eye of Terror, the forces of Chaos Marines emerge to exact their vengeance upon the Imperium, continuing the Long War they begun ten thousand years ago.
