Extinct chapters

This page is dedicated in remembrance of all those Space Marine Chapters that are entirely and definitely very dead. This does not include chapters that fell to Chaos, so all those lost (wiped out, turned heretic, barely survived or still missing) during the Abyssal Crusade aren't listed here, for that see Judged.

Astral Knights

Sacrificed their chapter to destroy the Necrons' World Engine in 926.M41.

Crimson Castellans

This chapter was fighting against renegades from their own chapter when a Tyranid Hive Fleet came by and ate them both

Crimson Consuls

Seriously, don't put crimson in the chapter's title if you want it to live. Supposedly this chapter was taken out piece by piece by an alpha legionairre.

Emperor's Swords

Destroyed by the Alpha Legion who contaminated their recruiting pool and implanted subconscious triggers in their recruits.

Emperor's Swords again

Based on Bellicas, which turned out to be a tomb world. Begin face-palming.

Fire Hawks

Lost in the warp. Surviving members may or may not make up the Legion of the Damned

Knights of Blood

Sacrificed to a man in a desperate effort to protect Baal from the Tyranid and Khorne-Daemon smackdown. Due to their reputation as borderline-heretics, it wasn't rebuilt in the Ultima Founding.

Knights of Eternity

Another chapter presumed to have been eaten by the Kraken.

Obsidian Glaives

Chapter destroyed by the Red Waagh. Detailed in Sanctus Reach campaign.

Shadow Wolves

Fought along with the Black Templars defending their homeworld against a hive fleet. Notable for dying to a man with the last to fall being a battle brother keeping the chapter banner aloft; hardcore.

Tiger Claws

Lost in the warp, surviving members absorbed by their founders, the Astral Claws.

Wolf Brothers

Succumbed to the instabilities of their gene-seeds. Any survivors are now feral wulfen
