The Warhammer<\/em> 40,000<\/em> universe is full of heroic factions like the Ultramarines and terrifying alien threats like the Tyranids, but that’s only a fraction of the whole picture. As seen featured in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2<\/em>, the Thousand Sons are a group of Chaos-corrupted Space Marines with a penchant for magic and the occult. However, the Thousand Sons are more than just evil wizard marines. Their past is marked by tragedy and the fickle hands of fate, truly showing that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.<\/p> Undoubtedly, one of the most significant and influential forces in the Warhammer 40K<\/em> universe is Chaos. It manifests in various forms, from daemons summoned through ritual to heretic Adeptus Mechanicus members creating diabolical homunculi of steel and flesh. However, the most iconic representation of Chaos is the heretic Astartes. Each warband can trace its lineage back to one of the traitor Legions from the Horus Heresy civil war, and most have willingly surrendered to the ruinous powers, seeking a share of their dark might.<\/p> The Thousand Sons were one of the Legions marked as traitors during the Horus Heresy, but it’s not as cut and dry as the other heretics. While there is no excusing the vicious actions of the group in the lore’s current standing, for quite a while, the Thousand Sons were acting in the best interest of the Imperium.<\/p><\/iframe> A tragic past<\/h2>
