Codex: Chaos Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines are genetically augmented transhumans who seek only to conquer; slaughter; and despoil. Clad in baroque power armour bedecked in macabre trophies and infernal iconography; Chaos Space Marines do battle alongside growling battle tanks; monstrous Daemon Engines; and thronging masses of cultist thralls. Some are possessed by daemonic allies; others bear Chaos-tainted artefacts or wield warp sorcery. No matter what form they take; they pursue their Long War with pitiless brutality; slaughtering any who stand in their path in an ever-escalating campaign of vengeance; conquest and apocalyptic violence.
