Welcome to "Codex Chaos", a one-stop resource for background information regarding the Chaos Space Marine armies of Warhammer 40K. All documents listed herein are copyrighted Games Workshop. With the exception of spelling and grammar editing they remain in their original form, no words were changed or moved from their original print in Codex Chaos ©1996. I created this site as the old codex is out of print and the new Codex Chaos ©1999 lacks this information, which I feel is necessary for truly understanding the army as it is used in the game. | |||||||||||||||||||

As news of the Warmaster's defeat spread out from ancient Terra loyalists attacked rebels with renewed vigor. Hard on the heels of the news came loyalist reinforcements and the tide of battle turned decisively against the rebels. The battles still raged on long and hard for a full seven years before the last strongholds were crushed and the last rebel formations were destroyed or exiled. Those rebels that could flee to the Eye of Terror did so. Many had declared for the Warmaster without comprehending that demon worship was the rebellion's cause. They rapidly fell victim to the Traitor Legions, who, it is said, grew bored of a diet of human flesh. With the future of the Imperium assured the Emperor passed judgment upon the rebels. They had broken faith with him and trafficked with demons. They had become enemies of humanity and could not be suffered to live in the Imperium of Mankind. All record of the Traitor Legions would be expunged and they were to be driven into the dust nebulae and hell worlds of the Eye of Terror, banished from the material universe and obliterated from history. It would be as if the Traitor Legions had never existed. In this decision the Emperor tempered his vengeance with reality - the Imperium was so weakened by its inner struggle that no other punishment was possible. But the Eye of Terror remains a dreadful canker in the heartwood of the Imperium, an open wound that drips corruption into surrounding systems and serves as a haven for deviants and heretics. Worst of all, the Traitor Legions still lurk in the Eye of Terror, consumed with hatred of the Emperor, the Imperium and all mankind. | |||||||||||||||||||
