Blight Butchers

The Blight Butchers are a newly emerged Chaos Warband made up from the renegade elements of the traitorous Storm Zealots, Space Naga, and Thousand Blades Space Marine Chapter. The creation of the Blight Butchers were followed by the end of Skabbian Heresy in M42, where the traitorous forces were spirited away by the forces of Chaos Gods shortly before the destruction of Indravari II. The Blight Butchers are created from vengeance and bitter defeat the traitor Zealots, Nagas and Thousand Blades suffered from their former brethren. The Blight Butchers are masters in Berserker Assault as well as employing Virus weapons and daemons.

History
After a bitter defeat suffered during the infamous Skabbian Heresy, the traitorous forces from Storm Zealots, Space Naga, and Thousand Blades were spirited away by the Forces of Chaos. Taken to a Chaos Spawn infested Space Hulk named Shadow Crone inside the Maelstorm, the remaining 340 Astartes led by Lord Skabbian decide to conquer the Space Hulk and claim it for the outcast. It took nearly 8 Terran Days for them to finally conquer the Space Hulk from the forsaken Chaos Spawn. As the Heretic Astartes freed 80 Heretecs and activate the engines of the Space Hulk, Chaos Lord Skabbian, Lord Berzerker Morkas, and Chaos Lord Devadatta form a new warband called the Blight Butchers. The warband sought to destroy their loyalist former brethren and cause destruction upon Imperium Worlds.

Combat Doctrines
Being shadow of their loyalist brethern, the Blight Butchers are masters of Close Combat Assault, Chemical Warfare, and Daemonic Conjurations.
