Read a book or two from that series. Kinda weird, but cool, in a way.

 

BTW watch out for them Chaos Marines.

Chaos Space Marines are Demonic spirits and possesed humans, in other words, :flamer: ARMY FROM HELL :flamer: (literraly). And Warhammer 40K is expensive as hell and addictive once you get into it. For example that Hammerhead Tank pictured above is $40! <--broke

 

Chaos Space Marines Demons

Khorne Demon, The Bloodthirster

Nurgle Demon, The Great Unclean One

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Ok for those of us who have no idea of what you speak (Myself for example.) could you briefly run over what this all is... Or just point to a website?

Ok WH 40K is placed in the future (41st Cen.) Earth is overopulated humanity spreads out to other planets while ruled by the few thousand year old Emperor. Humans run into aliens, the emperor is all like "ALL ALIENS MUST DIE!!! PURGE THE XENOS THREAT!" so evryone is pissed at each other and they fight. Factitions: Humans: Space marines, Imperial Guard, and Demon and Witch Hunters. Others: Chaos Space Marines Xenos (alien) Species: Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, and Necrons (none of the aliens are allied)

Basically, its Chaos :wink:

 

The Space Marines are the Emperors Elite. Chaos Marines are SPace Marines that "went over to the dark side" and rebelled. They tend to be a tad bit more ferocious than your average Space Marine

Correct The Chaos Space Marines were normal space marines but then they went into The Eye of Terror (the Hell of Space) on an exploration mission, they came out possesed by demons and generally F'ked up along with other horrors. The normal Space Marines are genetically enhanced and cloned with a small bit of the Emperor's DNA in them. The Imperial guard are the grunts of the Emperor's forces. Just pure humans, but they have the strongest tanks in the game.
