From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Revision as of 18:02, 20 August 2019 by KazilDarkeye (talk | contribs)
In the 10,000 years since their creation, many Space Marines have betrayed the Emperor and turned to worship of the Chaos Gods. This is a list of all known Chaos Space Marine Legions, Chapters and Warbands.
It should be noted that some Chapters have changed their names during their history and may be represented on this list more than once under different titles.
- Renegade Space Marine Chapters that do not worship Chaos can be found here — Renegade Space Marine Chapters (List).
