WORLD EATERS STORIES

THE WRATH OF KHARN

Blood for the Blood God! bellowed Kharn the Betrayer, charging foward through the hail of bolter fire, towards the temple of Superlative Indulgence. The bolter shells ricoheting off his breastplate didn't even slow him down. The Chaos Space Marine smiled to himself. The ancient ceramite of his armour had protected him for over ten thousand years.

THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD EATERS

Even before the Hersey the World Eaters where noted for their savagry and where censured by the Emperor for the use of psycho-surgery on new recruits to turn them into frothing madman. Nonetheless the World Eaters were invaluable troops in the Great Cruisade and fought at the forefront of all of the greatest campaigns. However their ferocity made it a simple matter for Horus to quickly pervert the World Eaters' bloody legion rituals to the worship of Chaos.
       Once renowned for their unswerving loylaty to the Emprorer, the World Eaters became reknowm for carnage and terror during the Heresy. They always fought in vanguard of the Traitor Legions and their legion records show that it was they and not the Sons of Horus who first breached the walls of the Imperial Palace. The World Eaters retreated from  Terra only grudginly and fought their way to the Eye of Terror, carving a bloody swathe through anything that impeded them. All the evidence points to the World Eaters continuing and strengthening their blood traditions while in exhile. All pretence of forming balanced, tactical forces has now fallen away and they are now armed entirely with pistols and close-combat weapons, chain-axes, and chainswords becoming the favoured tolls of bloodshed.
