Chaos Space Marines
The Emperor's Traitors - Eternal Warriors of Chaos
Chaos Space Marines are former Adeptus Astartes warriors who turned their backs on the Emperor and devoted themselves to the forces of darkness. They have endured thousands of years of corruption, receiving gifts and curses from the Chaos Gods, and have become ever more dangerous adversaries. Each one is a killing machine, driven by hatred, revenge, and a lust for power.
On the battlefield, Chaos Space Marines combine their original Astartes training and weaponry with the supernatural abilities bestowed by Chaos, their ranks filled with demonic allies, mutated monsters, and fanatical cultists.
