War of Lies

The War of Lies was a retribution campaign conducted by the Corpse Kings Renegade Chapter against the 'false' Star Hunters Space Marine Chapter upon their Chapter homeworld of Zulool II. The Corpse Kings were originally known as the Star Hunters until their fall from grace and eventual excommunication. Incensed that the Imperium had the temerity to create another Star Hunters Chapter, the Corpse Kings vowed to right this 'wrong' and eradicate the newly created upstart Chapter. Attacking in a lightning assault, the Corpse Kings utterly devastated the ranks of the young Chapter, and to add insult to injury, the plundered their Chapter armoury and stole several relics and powerful weapons of antiquity.

History
The Corpse Kings Battle Companies, under the leadership of Chaos Lord Melgorath Soxxerath himself, return to Zulool II after learning that a new Star Hunters Chapter was formed to cover up the excommunication of the Corpse Kings. Managing to crush the young Chapter and leaving them grievously under strength, the Corpse Kings left after looting the Chapter's armory when the upcoming arrival of the Inquisition reaches their ears.
