Chaos Marines, also sometimes called Traitor Marines, Renegade Marines, or Heretic Astartes, are former Astartes of the Coalition who have chosen to abandon the service of the Coalition and dedicate themselves to Chaos to achieve their own ends. Planned to be voiced by Paul Dobson, reprising his Chaos Space Marine voice from Dawn of War 1.

History

The Traitor Legions of the Chaos Space Marines represent 9 of the 20 original First Founding Legions of Space Marines who were created by the Builder from the genomes of their 20 primarchs in the late (insert) to fight the Great Crusade that forged the Coalition.

At this time Horus, the Warmaster of the Imperial forces and primarch of the XVIth Legion, the Luna Wolves, which he renamed the "Children of Horus" in his honor before the onset of the Horus Heresy to demonstrate his status as first-among-equals among the other primarchs, was corrupted by Chaos. The Warmaster then instigated the galaxy-wide Imperial civil war known as the Horus Heresy in his determination to replace the rule of the Coalition with his own.

After the death of Horus at the hands of the Wodin aboard his flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, during the Battle of Terra that saw the conclusion of the Horus Heresy, the remnants of the nine Traitor Legions fled, along with the other Traitor Imperial forces that now served Chaos, into an area of Gaiaterra 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 Coalition more than (insert) ago continue to fight against the Coalitiontoday, having effectively been granted a tortured immortality by the will of the Ruinous Powers.
