List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Vostroyan Firstborn: The Vostroyan Firstborn are the regiments of the Imperial Guard that originate from the industrial Hive World of Vostroya located near the Halo Stars in the Segmentum Obscurus. The Vostroyan Regiments have served the Emperor for countless centuries, though in truth they fight to absolve themselves of a terrible shame incurred by their ancestors over ten millennia ago when, during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, Vostroya failed in its duty to the Emperor of Mankind. When the galaxy was consumed in war and anarchy, the Emperor commanded that worlds still loyal to the Imperium send forth fighting men to help defend it against the Warmaster Horus and his Traitor Legions. Vostroya refused, arguing that it could better serve the Imperium by continuing to devote all its efforts to the manufacture of weapons for the Emperor's armies, and that to give up so much of its populace to become warriors for the Imperial Army would render it incapable of producing those weapons in sufficient quantities. The Vostroyans' refusal to provide soldiers was met with uncommon mercy by the Imperium once the Heresy had ended, and the people of Vostroya have forever after sought to atone for their mistake, promising to provide the first-born son of every Vostroyan family to the service of the Imperial Guard.
List of Astra Militarum Regiments - Vresh Grenadiers: The Vresh Grenadiers are a Militarum Regimentum of the Astra Militarum who emulate the Cadian Shock Troopers. The drilled precision and ardent resolve of lost Cadia's regiments have been emulated across countless Imperial worlds, with many Militarum Regimentos receiving training from Cadian infantry and tank officers. Cadian-derived tactics and uniforms are therefore seen upon battlefields throughout the galaxy.The Grenadiers regiments hail from the war-torn tech-slums of Vresh. A strong and violent gang culture pervades this shifting worldscape of rust and metal, and its warriors quickly learn to be cunning in combat and to follow the orders of their leaders. The Flak Armour they wear is typically fashioned from metal scrap plates, which are beaten into shape to wear during the running slum battles. Once drafted into the Astra Militarum this same armour is given regimental markings, though many of the lurid gang emblems of their former lives are retained on helmets and breastplates.

List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands: The following is a list of all known Traitor Legions, Renegade Space Marine Chapters or warbands of Chaos Space Marines operating in Imperial space.The Traitor Legions are comprised of the original 9 Space Marine Legions that betrayed their oaths of loyalty to the Emperor of Mankind during the ancient civil war called the Horus Heresy more than 10,000 standard years ago.The Traitor Legions were led by the Warmaster Horus Lupercal, once a primarch of the Imperium and the Emperor's most trusted friend, son, and adviser before he was corrupted by the promises and lies of the Dark Gods and his own inner flaws.The Traitor Legions are the most powerful component of the forces of Chaos. The flesh and power armour of these Heretic Astartes warped and twisted into new, darker and inhuman forms under the influence of the Chaos energies they were exposed to, and came to embody the corrupted Astartes' new allegiance.Following their defeat during the final epic confrontation, known as the Siege of Terra, the Emperor pronounced judgement upon the Traitor Legions. They were declared Excommunicate Traitoris.Most of the remnants of the 9 Traitor Legions fled, along with the other Traitor Imperial forces that now served Chaos, chased by the Loyalist Astartes Legions into an area of the galaxy where the Warp bled into realspace, creating the permanent Warp Storm known as the Eye of Terror.Due to the nature of Chaos, and the temporal instability of the Warp, many of the very same Chaos Space Marines who revolted against the Emperor more than 10 millennia ago continue to fight their Long War against the Imperium today, having effectively been granted a tortured immortality by the will of the Ruinous Powers.Please note: Fan-created Chapters must be posted at the Warhammer 40,000 Homebrew Wiki and not on this page. A separate list also exists for Loyalist Space Marine Chapters.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Chaos Space Marine Traitor Legions: Each of the 9 Heretic Astartes Traitor Legions fights using a different style of warfare that is defined by their Legion's culture and nature; also, 4 of the 9 -- the Emperor's Children, the World Eaters, the Thousand Sons and the Death Guard -- are dedicated specifically to the service of 1 of the 4 major Chaos Gods, Slaanesh, Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle, respectively.The other 5 Traitor Legions essentially serve the interests of all of the Ruinous Powers collectively in the form of Chaos Undivided.The 9 Chaos Space Marine Traitor Legions who joined the rebellion of the Warmaster Horus against the Emperor -- fully one half of the Space Marine Legions created during the First Founding -- are (in order of their Founding):Legion NumberPrimarchLegionLoyaltyPrimarch StatusIIIFulgrimEmperor's ChildrenTraitor (Slaanesh)Alive (Daemon Prince)IVPerturaboIron WarriorsTraitor (Chaos Undivided)Alive (Daemon Prince)VIIIKonrad Curze (Night Haunter)Night LordsTraitor (Chaos Undivided)DeadXIIAngronWorld EatersTraitor (Khorne)Alive (Daemon Prince) Currently banished to the WarpXIVMortarionDeath GuardTraitor (Nurgle)Alive (Daemon Prince)XVMagnus the RedThousand SonsTraitor (Tzeentch)Alive (Daemon Prince)XVIHorusBlack LegionTraitor (Chaos Undivided)DeadXVIILorgarWord BearersTraitor (Chaos Undivided)Alive (Daemon Prince)XXAlpharius OmegonAlpha LegionTraitor (Chaos Undivided), possibly still LoyalUnknown
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Emperor's Children: The Emperor's Children were one of the earliest of the Space Marine Legions to declare itself for Horus and his Traitors, fighting at his side against its own Loyalists during the Isstvan III Atrocity and against the Loyalist Legions during the Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V.The IIIrd Legion and its Primarch Fulgrim had been corrupted following their encounter with the Slaanesh-worshipping xenos species known as the Laer and their world of Laeran late in the Great Crusade. The rot spread quickly through the Legion, and the Emperor's Children embraced Chaos, particularly the doctrines of the Prince of Pleasure, in all their depravity.Little trace can now be seen of the original armour and equipment of the Emperor's Children, covered as it is by skins of iridescent fur or scales, jewels, or the fantastical renderings of screaming faces or rutting beasts.The Emperor's Children, now largely fractured into individual warbands, fight for sensation and sensory overload, bringing a clashing cacophony of sound, colour, and energy to the battlefield.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Iron Warriors: The Iron Warriors once formed the Emperor's legion of siege troops. They fought on a hundred worlds in the Great Crusade, laying siege to alien citadels and the palaces of merely Human tyrants with equal gusto.The Iron Warriors primarch, Perturabo, excelled in the arts of siege and static warfare above all else, and his treatise on fortifications and their reduction formed the basis of several sections of the Tactica Imperialis. The Iron Warriors betrayed the Emperor on Isstvan V, their mazes of bunkers and razor wire becoming a death trap for their Loyalist brethren instead of the sanctuary they promised to be.The Iron Warriors wear relatively unadorned armour that is commonly pieced together from the older marks of power armour for its heavier frontal protection.They favour heavy weaponry like Lascannons or Missile Launchers for long-range engagements, although well-equipped Iron Warriors Assault Squads are also rightly feared.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Night Lords: Led by their saturnine primarch, Konrad Curze (also known the "Night Haunter") the Night Lords were greatly feared even before the Horus Heresy. Curze believed in the use of terror as a weapon and his foes quickly learned to fear the night.The Night Lords were one of the first Legions to join Horus' rebellion, turning on what they saw as a weak-willed Emperor incapable of having the strength to lead and master an often-savage galaxy. Even after Horus' defeat the Night Lords have continued to wage an unremitting campaign of terror against the Imperium.The Night Lords refuse to follow any of the Chaos Gods, and have become cynical, hard-bitten, and frighteningly ruthless warriors. They fight for the pleasure of it, and for the material rewards it can bring, and not for the worship of some deity.They look down upon their more Chaos-dedicated brethren, whether they are fanatical berserker Heretic Astartes like the World Eaters, or zealous Loyalist Space Marines like the Dark Angels.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - World Eaters: Under the orders of the Primarch Angron, the World Eaters underwent psycho-surgery during the Great Crusade that transformed an already fierce Legion into bloodthirsty berserkers through the use of cortical implants known as the Butcher's Nails pioneered on their primarch's homeworld of Nuceria.When they betrayed the Imperium, it was of little surprise that the vast majority dedicated themselves to Khorne.The XIIth Legion fractured after the Horus Heresy, scattering into warbands across the galaxy. However, any member of the World Eaters is likely to be bloodthirsty and violent in the extreme.As is fitting to their patron god, the World Eaters wear armour as red as arterial blood, edged with brass and decorated with skulls and symbols of Khorne.Most disdain long-ranged warfare, preferring to close with the enemy to kill them with chainaxe, power sword, and (if need be) Bolt Pistols.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Death Guard: The Death Guard followed Horus into heresy, their sense of loyalty to their Warmaster and their primarch, Mortarion, triumphing over their duty to the Emperor on distant Terra. The rebel Death Guard Legion was marooned in the Warp during the long journey to Terra to join the attack on the Imperial Palace.A mysterious, unstoppable contagion spread through the trapped fleet, putrefying all it touched. Mortarion himself became infected and in his delirium he called upon the Nurgle to aid his Space Marines. In return for freedom from the death and the endless agony of Nurgle's plagues, Mortarion became the Plague God's foremost mortal Chaos Champion and eventually its Daemon Prince.The Death Guard survived but they continue to bear the marks of Nurgle's first blessings upon them. Their once-grey armour became stained and cracked where the bubbling foulness of their mortal bodies has erupted to the surface. They bear the three-lobed Mark of Nurgle rendered as flies or rotting heads upon banners and shoulder guards.Their bolters and chainswords are caked with filth and rust but are no less deadly. Plague and contagion have become the Death Guard's primary weapons and they can be found anywhere in the galaxy spreading Nurgle's foul blessings.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Thousand Sons: The path to damnation for the Thousand Sons Legion was longer than most, but its final plunge more complete than any. Even before the Horus Heresy the Thousand Sons' cyclopean Primarch Magnus the Red led his sons in the study of arcane lore and the practice of psychic sorcery despite the Emperor's expressed disapproval and the outright ban on such practices at the Council of Nikaea.When Horus gathered his forces, the Thousand Sons tried to use their occult powers to warn the Emperor of His Warmaster's betrayal. Disastrously the Emperor was mistrustful of anything tinged by Chaos such as the use of psychic sorcery that He had expressly forbidden at Nikaea and He ordered the Thousand Sons primarch to be taken captive and brought back to Terra for his disobedience.Leman Russ and the Space Wolves Legion were sent to devastate the Thousand Sons' homeworld of Prospero but violated their orders and sought to eradicate the Thousand Sons rather than return Magnus to Terra for judgement. To survive and protect their accumulated wisdom, the Thousand Sons sought the patronage of the Chaos God Tzeentch, the Changer of the Ways, greatest master of magic among the Chaos Gods.During the terrible battle known as the Burning of Prospero, Tzeentch transported Magnus and his surviving sons to the Daemon World in the Eye of Terror called the Planet of the Sorcerers.The surviving Thousand Sons have been split by internal schisms, their pursuit of occult knowledge estranging them from each other and even their cyclopean primarch.A cabal of renegade Sorcerers led by their former Chief Librarian Ahriman unleashed a great magic upon the Legion to prevent further mutation and corruption of its members by Chaos.This Rubric of Ahriman however reduced most of the Thousand Sons to soulless suits of animated armour known as Rubric Marines, but left the surviving Sorcerers unmatched in power.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Black Legion: The Black Legion is the only Traitor Legion to have changed its name in its ten thousand standard years of exile. In the First Founding the XVIth Legion was created as the "Luna Wolves." The Emperor subsequently allowed His favoured son Horus to rename the Legion the "Sons of Horus" in recognition of its accomplishments in the Ullanor Crusade and in honour of its primarch.The Sons of Horus willingly followed their beloved primarch and Warmaster into rebellion, fighting at the very forefront of his most important campaigns. When Horus was defeated by the Emperor at the Siege of Terra, the Legion's morale was shattered; their patron, their father, was gone.After being reorganised in the Eye of Terror by Horus' successor First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon, the Sons of Horus renamed themselves the Black Legion, changing their Legion colours to black in memory and mourning of their fallen primarch.They gave themselves to the worship of one Chaos God after another and lost many of their number through daemonic possession and madness. The hardened survivors lead warbands against the Imperium to this day, still eager to expunge the bitter memory of Horus' defeat and pursuing the goals of the Long War of Abaddon the Despoiler, who has claimed Horus' former mantle as the Warmaster of Chaos.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Word Bearers: Lorgar, primarch of the Word Bearers Legion, was a scrupulous and dedicated follower of the Imperial Cult, and in many ways was the founder of the religion of Emperor-worship called the Lectitio Divinitatus that would one day become the Adeptus Ministorum. He led his XVIIth Legion in the building of vast monuments and immense rituals during the Great Crusade to secure the faith of those that were conquered in the God-Emperor.The Emperor rejected Lorgar's efforts however, telling him that He needed His Space Marines to fight and serve the secular Imperial Truth which disdained all religion and superstition, not worship Him.Lorgar's disillusionment with the Emperor's impiety drove him to worship of the Chaos Gods during the Pilgrimage of Lorgar undertaken some 43 standard years before the start of the Horus Heresy, entities that truly demanded worship and sacrifice from their followers and provided great power in return.When Horus raised his banner against the Emperor the Word Bearers, who had largely driven Horus into corruption by Chaos from behind the scenes, eagerly followed him into rebellion along with a thousand hidden Chaos Cults they had established on the worlds they had brought into Imperial Compliance in the last days of the Great Crusade.The Word Bearers' fanatical zealotry has become dedicated to the worship of Chaos in its purest form, unadulterated by the veneration of any particular Chaos God over the others.They are the only Traitor Legion that still maintains the rank of Chaplain, the darkly twisted individuals holding this office now known as Dark Apostles and leading their brethren in heretical prayers and insane catechisms.Immense cathedrals and rune-etched monuments still rise in the wake of the Word Bearers' conquests, but now they are blasphemous dedications to the divine and hideous glory that is Chaos.
List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - Alpha Legion: The Alpha Legion was the twentieth and final Space Marine Legion created in the First Founding led by its Primarch Alpharius Omegon, who was actually a pair of superhuman twins.During the Great Crusade the XXth Legion earned renown for its strict discipline and organisation. The Alpha Legion strove hard to outshine its brethren in all things and prove its worthiness to be among the older Legions.The war-lust of the Alpha Legion easily led them into heresy when Horus declared himself against the Emperor, though some legends say that the Alpha Legion secretly remains loyal to the Emperor in perhaps the greatest of the many deceptions and ploys it has worked.Here at last was their chance to prove themselves against opponents just as tough, as battle hardened, and ferocious as themselves. The Alpha Legion did much to ravage the Eastern Fringe during the Horus Heresy, pursuing its own set of hidden and unknown objectives far from Terra. In the ten millennia since, they have continued to strike from bases hidden all over the galaxy.Unusually the Alpha Legion actively cultivates mortal Chaos Cultists and rebels, multiplying their impact many times over. The Inquisition holds a special loathing for the Alpha Legion for their part in spreading Chaos Cults and fanning the embers of heresy into the raging fires of outright rebellion.

They were corrupted after entering the Eye of Terror in 321.M37 as part of the Imperial Abyssal Crusade. During their sojourn into the Eye, the Knights Excelsior found themselves on the Dark Forge World of Temporia, home of the vile Warpsmith Valadrak. While investigating the strange mechanically-constructed world composed of endless manufactoria and machines, they were attacked by strange living Daemon Engines. Outgunned, the Knights Excelsior were forced to make a hasty tactical withdrawal, fighting their way back to their dropships. As they attempted to make good their escape, their vessels were attacked by a strange archeotech device that rendered their technology impotent, leaving the Space Marines at the mercy of Temporia's Daemon Engines. When they were last seen, they had been refashioned into the Renegade warband known as the Magma Hounds.Knights of BloodBlood AngelsUnknownThe Knights of Blood were a Renegade Space Marines Chapter that was declared Renegade and Excommunicate Traitoris by the High Lords of Terra on the advice of the Inquisition because of the terrible destruction they wrought against friends and foes alike, yet the Knights of Blood still consider themselves to be loyal to the Emperor of Mankind, if not to His Imperium. The Knights of Blood are a Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, created during an unknown Founding. The Knights of Blood are believed to have been slaughtered to the last man during the Battle of Baal. They fought in defence of the moon of Baal Prime, alongside the Flesh Tearers and other Successor Chapters of the Blood Angels against the hordes of the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan and the daemons of Khorne. Their sacrifice allowed the rest of the scions of Sanguinius to flee the onslaught.Knights of Blood (Warband)UnknownUnknownThe Knights of Blood are a warband of frenzied Chaos Space Marines of unknown origin who are most likely servants of the Blood God Khorne. They have been responsible for numerous massacres of Imperial populations including the ones carried out on the worlds of Cadon, Helka II, Obsus Prima and most recently on Ornsworld.

List of Chaos Space Marine Warbands - O: NameOriginFoundingSummaryThe Oath-BrokenBlack LegionUnknownThose that dare betray the Warmaster seldom live long enough to regret their mistake, and those who do quickly come to regret their folly bitterly as their bodies and souls are subjected to the most abject of agonies. The Oath-Broken are no true traitors to Abaddon, but merely those who failed in their assigned tasks, or got badly mauled on the battlefield and crippled by horrendous wounds. Failures and cripples invariably lose the fickle attention of their mortal and immortal masters alike, and without the blessings of the Powers of the Warp to mend their limbs or knit their broken bodies together with mutations, the Oath-Broken are forced to fashion their own crude replacements: blades sutured to stumps, xenos appendages crudely grafted into empty sockets and ragged armour patched with whatever material the Eye of Terror deems to provide. And yet, woe to the fool who underestimates these dregs of the Black Legion, for an Oath-Broken's desire to again bask in the glories that only Chaos can provide is only equal to his hatred of any who still do.Oblivion ButchersWorld EatersUnknownThe Oblivion Butchers are a warband of Chaos Space Marines that splintered from the World Eaters Traitor Legion that can trace their origins all the way back to the disaster on Skalathrax. Most recently, during the 13th Black Crusade, this warband fought alongside the monstrous Butcherhorde, a conglomeration of multiple World Eaters warbands led by the infamous Khârn the Betrayer, who led them in the slaughter of the Imperial world of Amethal in the Diamor System against the valiant defence of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter.Oracles of ChangeUnknownUnknownThe Oracles of Change is a warband of Chaos Space Marines who were originally the Loyalist Chapter known as the Lectors of Ixis but are now dedicated to the service of Tzeentch after having been corrupted during the Abyssal Crusade in M37.

Living Saint - Living Saint: A Living Saint is an extraordinarily devout servant of the Emperor of Mankind, usually a warrior of the Ecclesiarchy, who displays seemingly miraculous, supernatural abilities derived from potent faith in the God-Emperor during his or her lifetime. In almost every case, a Living Saint has been resurrected from the dead, sometimes multiple times. The belief among the faithful of the Imperial Creed is that these individuals are blessed by the Emperor Himself, and are resurrected by His will and grace to defend His servants.Most of the known Living Saints have been members of the Adepta Sororitas, particularly its Orders Militant, but several have also emerged from the ranks of the Astra Militarum.In truth, it is clear that Living Saints draw their powers from the Warp much like the servants of Chaos, but are not necessarily psykers during their initial lifetimes. Instead, a Living Saint's faith in the God-Emperor is so great that it allows them to unconsciously draw upon the Warp to fuel supernatural abilities, including the ability to resurrect from death.
