Editing Chaos Space Marine Squad (section)

==Overview==

Chaos Space Marines have all the strengths and skills of their loyalist kin, but are further augmented by the powers of [[Chaos]] and experience from ten thousand years of battle. So while they are as resource-stricken as a hobo on food stamps, these guys are old enough to learn a few tricks or two up their sleeves. Since the [[Horus Heresy]] these warriors have known that their entire experience is now a neverending clusterfuck that makes Game of Thrones look politically coherent. They are wholly committed to the path they now tread, and they can expect no quarter from their former battle-brothers.

There is little uniformity between squads as much of the organization and structure of the former Space Marine Legions have either [[World Eaters|nuked themselves]] [[Emperor's Children|into oblivion]], [[Death Guard|couldn't be fucked to do anything]], [[Night Lords|been productive for 10 Millennia]], [[Thousand Sons|went their own merry way to jerk-off]], [[Iron Warriors|too busy playing tower defense]] [[Alpha Legion|or is suffering from severe anonymity issues]]. In place of appointed sergeants, they follow the strongest and most merciless [[Chaos Champion|Chaos Champions]].

Clad in [[Chaos Power Armour|run-down Chaos Power Armour]] (Although OGs from the [[Horus Heresy]] still maintain their [[Mark V: Heresy Armour]]), the armament of Chaos Space Marines differs little from their loyalist counterparts, consisting of [[Astartes Boltgun|Bolters]], [[Plasma Gun|Plasma Gun]], [[Meltagun|Meltaguns]], [[Flamer#Flamer|Flamers]], [[Heavy Bolter|Heavy Bolters]] and uniquely, [[Autocannon|Autocannons]] or one-handed [[Bolt Pistol|Bolt Pistols]] and [[Plasma Pistol|Plasma Pistols]]. For close combat, they are equipped with Close Combat Weapons such as [[Chainsword|Chainswords]], [[Power Fist|Power Fists]], [[Power sword|Power Swords]], [[Power Axe|Power Axes]], or other ritual weapons. Chaos Space Marine heavy weapon squads are known as [[Havoc|Havocs]].
