The Man of Time

It was the time of life when a man looks back on his life and sees if it is what he
wants.
TIme is a thing of malificence, robbing all of thie rpotentiall and serving up
dissatisfaction.
It is the thing that ends us all, for we shall all end. Our reward is nothing, no
thing.
Insubstantiality and unconsiousness.
It is tne same as the thing that we come from, that dark and unkowing space.

Ten
ihousand
years
ago !he
Imperiumwas
racked
by a
lerrihle civil
warcalledIheHorus
Heresy.
The
rebellion
was led
byWarinaster
Hoois,
the
most trusted
of
the
Emperor's
Prirnarchs,
who had
been
led tobelieveby (he
Chaos
gods
thatit
was he, not Ihe
Emperor,
who
should
be
the
leader
of
Humanity.
Almost
half
of the
Space
Marine Legions of
that
time sided
wilh
Horus,
plunging
the
Imperium
into
a
terrible
galaxy-wide
war
from
whichit has
never
fully
recovered.
The war
encfed
wilh
the
death
of Horus at the
hands
of (he
Empi-iror,
but the
Emperor himself
was
mortally
wounded
and ig now
only barely
kept
alive
by a
life-support
unit
called
the
Golden Throne.
With
the
defeal
of
Horus,the surviving
Space
Marines
that
had
followed
him
lied
to the Eye of
Terror
- the
greatest
warp
storm
in thu
galaxy.
The
Chaos
Space
Marines
of the
Traitor
Legions,
as
I
hey are now called,
lurk
[here
lo
(his day,
consumed
by
(heir
hatred
of
Ihe
Emperor,
the
Imperium
and all
Mankind.
Twisted
by
continual contact
with
the
Chaos
gods,
Chaos
Space
Marines have
become
a
terrible
conker
thai
eats
at Iheheartof the
Imperium
andthey might,
one
day,
have
iheir
revenge...
WHY
COLLECT
A
CHAOS
SPACE
MARINE
ARMY?
A
Chaos
Space
Marine army
is
very
similar
lo a
normal
Space
Marine
army:
Ihe
bulk
of its
troops
are
elite
and
verytough, they wear excellent armour
and are
armed
with
a variety of
devastating
weaponry.
The
only
real
weakness
of a
Chaos
Space
Marine
compared
lo his
Imperial
counterpartis
that
he has a(very
sensible)
desire
to
preserve
his own
skinandtherefore
does
notbenefit fromIhe
'And
They
Shall
Know
No
Feat'
rule
that
prevents
loyal
Space
Marines from
running
away.
On
(he
other hand,
a
Chaos
Space
Marinearmy
has
access
lo an
assortment
of
unique
iroop
types
no) available to any
ol
her
army.
The
most obvious
of
these
are
Ihe
myriad forms
of
Daemon
that
a
ChaosSpace
Marine army
can
summon
to
help
defeal
Iheir
enemies.
As
Daemons
must
be
kept
in
reserve,
their
points value
is
raiher
lower than
their
abilities
would
suggest
and
they
make
excellenl
assault
troops
wilh
which
to
back
up a
Chaos
Space
Marine
force.
In
addilion
to
Daemons,
there
is a
wide variety
of
Chaos
Space
Marines
who
follow
weird
and
exotic cultsandhave exotic abilitiesto
match. Examples
of
these
include Khorne
Berserkers,
Pfague Marinesand
Noise
Marines
amongst
many
