Astral Blades
The Astral Blades were once a loyalist Space Marine chapter before they turned to Chaos.[1]
| |||
In 121.M37 they are led down the path to Chaos by their prideful Chapter Master, who has been possessed by the Daemon Etherak the Unrepentant. The Daemon’s servants use sorcery to possess almost every battle-brother within the Chapter’s subterranean fortress monastery one by one, slaughtering those strong enough to resist. As the blood of the last of the fallen is still cooling, the possessed Space Marines plunder the Chapter’s gene-seed stores and set off for the Eye of Terror. However, when their Battle Barge, Sword of Stars, reaches high orbit, the Grey Knights are waiting for them. In the furious battle that ensues Grey Knights Terminators teleport onto the bridge of the Battle Barge and banish Etherak back into the Warp in the midst of a furious melee. Broken in body and spirit, the Chapter Master of the Astral Blades accepts the Emperor’s mercy delivered at the hands of his ‘saviours’.[1]
