The Beasts of Annihilation are a Chaos Space Marine warband. These warriors are devout followers of the Dark Gods and frequently allow creatures of the Warp to inhabit their bodies. As such the Beasts of Annihilation field an unusually large number of Possessed squads.[1]

History
Originally known as the Annihilators, the Chapter finally succumbed to complete insanity during the anti-xenos genocidal Quietus Campaign. Those of the chapter still able to act rationally gathered at their Fortress-Monastery in the hope of finding absolution, but instead their corrupted Chaplains led them into a ritual of Daemonic possession. Every member of the Chapter was possessed over the course of a single night. Afterwards, they called themselves the Beasts of Annihilation.[2]
