For ten thousand years, there has been a canker at the heart of the Imperium. For ten millennia, the Traitor Legions have waged the Long War against the Emperor they once served. From within the Eye of Terror, the Chaos Space Marines sally forth to despoil and pillage, to destroy and conquer the worlds of the Imperium. Once the finest of the Emperor’s warriors, at the forefront of the Great Crusade to conquer the galaxy, the Traitor Legionnaires have become twisted, hate-filled warriors intent on annihilating those who turned their backs on them and cast them into exile. Their dreams will not be achieved until holy Terra itself is reduced to a smouldering husk, bringing about the ruination of all that the Emperor sought to build.

Superhuman warriors invigorated and changed by the warping power of Chaos, these renegades are awesome killers whose abilities outstrip even those of the loyal Space Marines. With them come foul and terrifying Daemons, manifestations of Mankind’s darkest horrors and ambitions. The ground trembles beneath the tread of clawed and beweaponed engines of destruction fuelled by the energy of the Warp. Led into battle by mighty Daemon Princes, horrific fighters with the power of Space Marine and Daemon combined, a force of Chaos Space Marines crushes any opposition with a swift and ruthless strike. Terror spreads before them, and devastation is left in their wake.
