Space Marines battle with dedication and zeal, brooking no
hesitation, mercy or cowardice. Their weapons, armour and
vehicles are highly suited to their shock role. All of these
things combine to make the Space Marines the most fearsome
warriors in the Imperium.
The Chaos Space Marines have all of these strengths and
skills, to which are added the power of Chaos and a brutal
devotion
to the Chaos Gods. Ever since the Horus Heresy, Space Marines
have been tempted by the path of Chaos, whether for selfish
reasons or greater ideals. Sundered from the Imperium, having
turned their backs on the Emperor, these super-warriors know
that there can be no peace for them, no forgiveness nor absolution.
They are wholly committed to the path they now tread, for
good or ill. |
