Editing Green Men (section)

==Warband Combat Doctrine== 
The Green Men are truly adept at jungle combat. But, unlike other Chaos Marine forces who are merely good at fighting in rainforests, the followers of Galen actually turn the jungle into their ally. With a combination of blasphemous biomancy and dark sorcery, they make the forest itself attack their enemies and slow down their advance. They especially like to manipulate the paths through the jungle, wearing the enemy down by making them walk in circles for hours on end, leaving them lost in the thickets or splitting them into several small groups and finishing them one by one. 

What makes them even more unique is that they always bring the jungle to battle with them. In preparation for every battle they sow the battlefield with genetically engineered seeds that quickly grow to full-sized trees. They then use the resulting rainforests as fortresses, moving into their thickets and waiting for the enemy to come and get them. Using flamers and melta weapons to burn down the jungle instead of venturing into it had been a viable strategy against the Green Men a while ago, but they eventually adapted to it, breeding mutant trees whose smoke is amongst the deadliest of chemical weapons.

Since most vehicles cannot fight effectively in the jungle, the Green Men do not use make an extensive use of them. Nevertheless, they value Rhinos and Land Raiders as transports for their troops in open spaces. Many of their fellow Warbands find the Green Men cowardly for their refusal to fight in the absence of cover, yet this approach has successfully kept them one of the most numerous Warbands in the Eye of Terror for millennia.

===Warband Equipment===
The arsenal of the Green Men includes many unique biological weapons, most of which were personally created by their spiritual leader, the deranged savant Nikephoros Galen.

====Lash of Torment====
This dreaded scourge is essentially a long, sturdy thorny vine, the roots of which are hidden in a special hydroponic compartment of a Chaos Marine's backpack. With its thorns long and sharp as knives, it can slash an unarmoured target in half with a single strike. But it is also effective against armoured foes, since its thorns constantly secret a caustic venom that corrodes and softens ceramite. A skilful user can use the Lash of Torment to completely strip his opponent of his power armour in the middle of the battlefield.

====Death Belcher====
A disgusting parasitic mushroom looking like a wet sponge, Death Belcher grows on the suits of power armour worn by the Green Men and feeds on the blood spilled by them. It gets easily agitated by the noise of close combat and activates its defensive mechanism, emitting great clouds of acidic spores that burn and corrode everything they touch. Once cloaked in these clouds of death, the Green Men become almost invincible in melee, making sure that they get to spill enough blood for their Death Belchers to feed. Thus functions their perverted symbiosis.

====Brambleseed Gun====
Without a doubt, Brambleseed Gun is the most notorious of Galen's inventions. Its bullets each contain a seed of a diabolical parasitic plant. Once inserted into a living organism, it takes root in its intestines within seconds and, with startling speed, starts growing thorny vines similar to organic barbed wire that tear its unfortunate victim from within. To this day, this gun remains one of the most feared weapons wielded by the Traitor Legions; its mere mentioning is sometimes enough to make whole regiments of the Imperial Guard desert.

====Galen's Net====
The Rhinos and Land Raiders used by the Green Men are always covered in thick foliage, the vines of which constantly writhe like a mass of snakes. This is no mere decoration, as many a fool who tried to attack those tanks in close combat has learned the hard way. Whenever its vines sense a creature of flesh and blood approaching, they lash at it like tentacles, ensnaring it in a thick, sturdy net and choking it to death. Even if the victim manages to avoid suffocation, the deadly poisons contained within their thorns are sure to finish the job.

===Warband Naval Forces=== 
The warband's focus on regular incursions dictates the necessity for a large, well-maintained fleet. Although most of the spaceships controlled by the Green Men hail back to the Battle of Rai, over the millennia spent in the Eye of Terror they have captured or commissioned a number of new vessels to meet their growing needs. The spacecraft they are most associated with is the Hesperide class battle barge, created by the Hereteks of Dark Mechanicus specifically to suit the unique needs of the Green Men. Its layout includes extensive orangeries that house all of the numerous plants and fungi that Galen's followers take with them to battle. Their decks are completely overgrown with foliage, resembling winding paths and glades of a jungle thicket rather than interiors of a spaceship. According to different sources, the Green Men possess from ten to fifteen battle barges.
