~ Marines Malevolent warcry. |
The Marines Malevolent are a notorious Loyalist Space Marine Chapter in Warhammer 40k and are considered some of the most reviled and cruel of the Astartes still loyal to The Imperium. With a complete and utter disregard for human life, they are infamous for their obscene amount of collateral damage inflicted upon innocent civilians, something that has earned them the ire of the Imperium and most other Astartes Chapters. Their cruelty and malicious tactics are so abhorrent they have been effectively outcast by the other Chapters, leaving them to fend for themselves. It should be noted that despite their atrocities, they remain loyal to The Imperium and will go to any lengths, no matter how evil, to defend it.
Attributes[]
Marines Malevolent almost universally use Firstborn Space Marine equipment, and with their pariah status within The Imperium often have to scavenge supplies from wherever they can get it, including from their own fellow fallen Loyalist Astartes. This, coupled with their wicked apathy and immense hatred towards everyone and everything has lead to them being almost universally shunned. In their beliefs, there is no such thing as innocence, all are guilty, the only difference is to what degree. Because of this, they care not how many innocent lives are lost in their campaigns, and they will happily gun down civilians with as much fervor as xenos or the forces of Chaos. Likewise, their siege and assault tactics will obliterate their targets regardless of who's at the location, and countless innocents have been lost to their siege warfare.
Trivia[]
- Although their Gene-Seed origins remain a mystery as does their founding, the sheer scale of their barbaric tactics and unrelenting apathy towards everyone including their own allies and those they are meant to protect leads many to believe the Marines Malevolent are actually a successor chapter to the Iron Warriors.
- They are the polar opposite of their Salamander cousins, and the two Chapters are constantly, and violently, at odds with each other.
