Chaos Space Marines
The Chaos Space Marines (also known as Traitor Marines, Chaos Marines, Heretic Astartes or Traitor Legionnaires) are one of the most iconic factions in the wargame Warhammer 40,000. Once loyal servants of the Imperium of Man, they turned against their former master and pledged their allegiance to the Chaos Gods. They are now twisted and corrupted warriors who seek to spread chaos and destruction throughout the galaxy.
Ten thousand years ago, Horus, Warmaster of the Imperium and most trusted 'son' of the Emperor, fell to Chaos due to a conspiracy by the Word Bearers. 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.
Only when Horus was slain at the ultimate conflict of the Heresy, the Battle of Terra, was 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 Heresy, and for the last ten thousand years have waged the Long War against the Imperium.
The Chaos Space Marines have some of the most impressive figures and miniatures in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They have a wide variety of units at their disposal, ranging from infantry to vehicles and daemonic allies.
