Background
The Executioners are a Space Marine Chapter who sided with the Lufgt Huron during the Badab Uprising. With Huron's defeat, they were granted the Emperor's forgiveness, subject to undertaking a 100 year crusade, and forfeiting their homeworld to one of the loyalist chapters of the Badab War. During the Badab War, the Executioners had, for unknown reasons, sided with the Astral Claws; along with the Mantis Warriors, and the Lamenters.
The Executioners Chapter was created in a Founding during 598.M35, created to help relieve the White Scars in monitoring and countering the many threats taking refuge within the Maelstrom. The gene-seed of the Executioners is seemingly derived from the Blood Angels. The main evidence of this is their Chapter organisation and unit markings which are the exact same as the Blood Angels Chapter and their successors.
The Executioner's designate different squad types by shoulder plate colour: Red for Scouts, purple for Devastators, yellow for Assault, and green for Tactical Squads.
