Background
A Traitor Chapter mentioned in Soul Drinker and Daemon World. A fleet based chapter of Imperial Fist gene seed stock, they were one of the chapters, that wished to assist with the Second Siege of Terra during Lord Vandire's ill-fated reign, but became lost in the warp during transit. When they re-emerged, they had all gone insane. They fled into the Eye of Terror. After a time they were butchered by the Word Bearers. Their fate was planned from the very beginning. The chapter master had wanted to chain all their spirits in to his power armour but he was the first to fall.
Since that day the Thunder Barons have become mad spirits that animate the power armour of fallen Space Marines. When they do this they search for a piece of an amulet that will make the possession permanent, as they can only animate objects for a short time, and the longer the delay, the madder they become. The amulets location is unknown, though it is thought that, as an extremely powerful artefact of Chaos, it may be in the Word Bearer's possession.
