Formerly Pale Green; formerly Grey 'I recognize in thieves, traitors and murderers, in the ruthless and the cunning, a deep beauty - a sunken beauty.' - Jean Genet 'Just because I'm a murdering, thieving, cowardly, traitorous sort doesn't mean I can't do my job properly.' Owen The Black Legion (Legion XVI) are one of the nine legions which betrayed the Emperor during the Heresy. Their Primarch was.

Originally called themselves the Luna Wolves before changing their name to The Sons of Horus. After the HH they changed their name to The Black Legion, possibly due to being ashamed to carry the name of one who failed to conquer the Imperium, or as a mourning, together with the black armor. Opinion likely differs between warbands. Canon has now been muddled further with the new ADB novel series, where Abaddon officially dissolved the Sons of Horus, and merged its old forces in with Abby's friends from the other Legions into an entirely new Legion. This narrative making it clear that anybody who joins the Black Legion is NOT just changing the name of the guy who is signing the paycheck, but rejecting their previous Legion or Chapter identities and committing to fighting the Long War. The Black Legion was depicted as the 'vanilla' Chaos Space Marine legion in the past, similar to how the are with the loyalists.

For a long time they were mostly overlooked fluff-wise, because, like the Ultrasmurfs, they weren't that interesting being the 'middle-of-the-road' chaos marines. Now though they have their own Codex Supplement and are an elites oriented army with possessed, chosen, and terminators being the norm for a fluffy BL army. Power Armor maintained and ready? Well, off to the next Black Cru.wait, what? Did what again? Another crusade foiled well, I guess we're going to Terra now!

When they were still loyalists, there were known as the greatest and most powerful legion during the, the Luna Wolves. This epithet they earned during the pacification of, the first battle of the Great Crusade, against the local gene-cults, as when the cults conceded defeat they asked the Emperor to 'call off his wolves.' They won many victories and brought many worlds into compliance. After Horus won the Ullanor Crusade, he was given the title 'Warmaster' by the Emperor.

This gave him almost complete control of all the space marine legions and the Imperial Forces. He renamed his Legion the Sons of Horus, and ordered them to repaint their armour from grey-white to to a green, or maybe green-grey, colour scheme that no one seems to know how to paint properly Forge World paint theirs a teal colour, but there are examples of green-grey, jade, and a Wehrmacht-style feldgrau out there too - and then some older art just takes the lazy approach and makes them straight-up grey.

The Heresy [ ] After Horus was severely wounded on Davin, he received visions from the Chaos Gods who told him that the Emperor would cast him and his brother Primarchs aside once he attained full God-hood. After seemingly being easily convinced by them, Horus turned traitor. He corrupted half of his brother Primarchs, the majority of the Imperial army and half of the to his side. After Horus' defeat during the siege of Holy Terra, the Traitor Legions fled to the Eye of Terror. You know, instead of saying 'Well Horus is dead but so is your Emperor' and continuing to attack the Imperial Palace where they might have won. Rowboat Girlyman was hot on their heels along with The Lion and The Wolf tag team.

Kinda the whole reason Horus wanted to finish it decisively. Post-Heresy [ ] When the Traitors fled to the Eye of Terror, the blaming each other for the failure at Terra began.

The Sons of Horus took the brunt of this blame, and proceeded to retreat to the world of Maeleum, where they built a fancy tomb for Horus's body and sat around feeling sorry for themselves, not even bothering to select a new commander. The bitterness between the Legions broke out into war once the Emperor's Children decided they needed more slaves for their Slaaneshi-related. Being the Legion that had suffered the least at Terra (due to being occupied with the aforementioned shenanigans), the Children began to raid other warbands for their slaves and resources, culminating with sacking Maeleum, killing most of the remaining Sons of Horus, and taking the body of Horus (and Worldbreaker) for Fabius Bile's genetic experiments. The former Justaerin captain Falkus Kibre, with the assistance of several other Chaos warbands, eventually managed to track down Abaddon and the deep within the Eye of Terror, and told him about the theft and cloning of Horus. This news finally got Abaddon off his ass, and he and the few remaining legionnaires available to him used the Vengeful Spirit to crush the Emperor's Children at the, with Abaddon personally killing the clone of Horus with his own Talon.

Their leader,, is known for launching 13 against the Imperium, all of which have (obviously) failed to overthrow it. While his 13th crusade may have won him a foothold in, it is technically a Pyrrhic victory due to the remaining Black Legion forces having no way of reinforcing their current forces with the Imperial Navy beating back the Chaos fleets. In turn, this forces a war of attrition, which Space Marines never win anyway as such a war is devoted to who can replace their losses the quickest, and doubly so for Chaos Marines who need to come up with to replace losses. Lord Topknot is thus the constant butt of jokes by 40K fans for his cartoon-villain attempts to destroy the Imperium, all of which have seemed to end in failure. A Black legionnaire in the thick of combat on Cadia.

Why's there a head in his armpit? It is, however, exactly the sort of combat where the Imperial Guard shines. It is unknown exactly how they managed to survive for so long due to Failbaddon's incompetence and poor leadership skills (plus, his failed Black Crusades could have left them largely undermanned).

And they can't actually do anything to him due to the Chaos Gods protecting him from possible assassinations or getting Sindri'd, and likewise, Failbaddon cannot do anything to them due to not having arms (He could still try to kick them, but it would have little to no effect). It may be possible that they receive millions of volunteers due to their paint job looking awesome. Another reason is because they allow Chaos Marines from other Chaos Legions (or from renegade chapters) to join them in their ranks (an example is Eliphas the Inheritor, who originally came from the Word Bearers). The new ADB novels indicate that the Black Legion is an open institution for anyone who is serious about waging the Long War against the Imperium (and not just raiding / pillaging / winning favour with the chaos gods / feeling sad about it) and is strong enough to prosper. The founding members came from a variety of different legions. Newer fluff, however, indicates that Abaddon's Black Crusades are part of a larger scheme to destroy the Imperium, and all achieved at least some of their goals.

Abaddon knows that his forces are not large enough or organized enough to break through the massive quantities of Imperial forces that stand between him and Terra, and thus plans to cause enough chaos (heh) to allow legions of daemons to enter realspace and overwhelm the defenders of the Imperium. This has received a mixed reception among the fanbase. Prior to Talon, there had only ever been five awesome members of the Black Legion:,,,, and (who wasn't even originally from the Black Legion). And the middle two are kind of iffy on the cool factor. Neroth is a whiny bitch, but he makes up for it by shitting free doombolts. Kain knows better than to speak given most of Chaos' shitty Abaddon admiring script, which makes him cool. With the new fluff we've gained an impressive cast in the Black Legion's founders, taking in a former Thousand Sons sorcerer, a World Eaters Havic, an Emperor's Children swordmaster and a Fallen Angel.

However it is only a matter of time before someone overthrows Abaddon, we're betting on Eliphas, a revived Araghast, or.probably Eliphas (it's in his name after all, Eliphas, the Inheritor of the Black Legion).but still.BRING ARAGHAST BACK! Have done a good job for their, it's full of energy and fury towards the False Emperor and his slaves! Culture [ ] The Luna Wolves had a culture that was based primarily on that of the hive gangs of their home planet, Cthonia. There are two informal institutions of note in the Luna Wolves: the Mournival and the Warrior Lodges. The Mournival was a group of four captains who acted as advisers to Horus. They were selected based on their temperaments, each of them supposedly embodying one of the Four Humors, bodily fluids that in ancient times were said to govern the emotions of men.

The aggressive Abaddon embodied the Choleric temperament, the light-hearted Tarik Torgaddon the Sanguine, the rational Garviel Loken the Phlegmatic, and the morose 'Little' Horus Aximund the Melancholic. The Warrior Lodges were based off the totem-animal cults of the planet Davin, which was conquered by the Luna Wolves and the Word Bearers (who would later create similar societies in other legions as a means of spreading Chaos corruption). They were secret societies where the Luna Wolves could associate outside of the chains of command and speak freely without fear of reprisal. Several in the legion, such as Garviel Loken, disapproved of their secrecy, a suspicion that turned out to be justified when traitor marines started using them to conspire in secret.

The Black Legion, however, has no overarching culture, being a collection of whatever warbands from whatever Legions pledge their loyalty to Abaddon and paint their armor black. This is as Abaddon intends, as he believes that Chaos Space Marines should have the freedom to follow the traditions of their forefathers or defy them as they please. The only thing that unites them is a dedicated conviction to the Long War. Several Sons of Horus warbands refused to join the Black Legion and continued to wear their original colors. The Black Legion refers to these legions (FAIL) Warbands as the 'Thrice-Cursed Traitors'. The Ezekarion [ ] Beneath Abaddon is the Ezekarion, the co-founders and senior warlords of the Black Legion.

They are Abaddon's closest brothers and advisers, providing him counsel in the and are the only ones allowed to call him by his first name. They've also gathered some hanger-ons over the years.

Known members include: • Falkus Kibre: Former of the in the Sons of Horus's First Company, now the leader of the Aphotic Blade/. He's essentially the of the Black Legion. • Sargon Eregesh: Former of the Brazenhead Chapter, now the Lord-Prelate of the Black Legion.

He's essentially the Chief of the Black Legion. He was captured at some point prior to the 13th Black Crusade, where he went insane from captivity (well, more insane).

•: Former Captain of a line Company in the First Fellowship under, now the Lord-Vigilator of the Black Legion. Basically, he's Abaddon's premier hitman, eliminating those who threaten the Warmaster's plans but refuse to face him in open battle. He surrendered to the Inquisition just before the 13th Black Crusade, to deliver a message to the Emperor: the Long War is about to end.

• Telemachon Lyras: Former Captain of the 's 51st Company, now Herald of the Warmaster and commander of the Shrieking Masquerade, a warband of. His former company abandoned Khayon's at Terra, and Khayon took vengeance by making Lyras dependent on Khayon's presence to feel anything.

Though Khayon freed him later, the two formed a rivalry which threatened the Black Legion's stability at one point. •: Former Captain of the 50th Company and commander of the War God's Maw.

Probably the closest thing to a friend that Khayon had, he was killed by the during the 7th Black Crusade. • Ashur-Kai Qezremah: Former Librarian of Khayon's company and former mentor, later the void-seer of the Vengeful Spirit, the Chaos equivalent of a. He was taken by the Warp Ghosts as payment for leading the Black Legion through a Warp storm to launch the First Black Crusade. • Ceraxia: A of the who was made Mistress of the Armoury. Yes, a woman has a position of leadership among the largest coalition of Chaos Space Marine Warbands. • Valicar Hyne: A former Captain of the, later Master of the Black Fleet.

• Vortigern: A who was Captain of the cruiser With Blade Drawn and leader of the Black Lions. Yes, one of the Fallen is part of the Black Legion's leadership. Oh, to see the reaction of the. • Amurael Enka: Former Medicae Quintus of the Sons of Horus, later the de facto Chief Apothecary of the Black Legion. Some wild daemons of Khorne sliced him in half, forcing Abaddon to place him in a. • Ilyaster Faylech: Former Apothecary of the who defected from the Legion Host and helped Khayon try to kill its warlord, Thagus Daravek.

• Moriana: A former who helped found the resurrectionist faction of the and spread the Cult of the Saviour Emperor after the Horus Heresy. For reasons unknown she became a dedicated servant of the Chaos Gods seer of Abaddon, telling him of Drach'nyen and the. Probably the one member of the Ezekarion that all of the others hate. On the Tabletop [ ] The Black Legion had their own 7th edition supplement, which was essentially the same as the base Chaos 'dex with the exception that everything that can must take 'Veterans of the Long War.' The book gave them some formations, relics, and a few unique missions. It should be noted that this book offered the only way that Chaos can get an Eternal Warrior character without incredibly lucky rolling on the Chaos Boon Table.

The rules from said supplement, however, have since been recollected and expanded upon in the 'Traitor Legions' supplement. This retains the usual elite-focused army by making Terminators and Chosen troops, while giving them permanent hatred against Loyalist scum. And their decurion gives them first turn deep strike!
