The Emperor's Martyrs is a Renegade Space Marines warband from the Emperor's Wardens Space Marines chapter.

They are led by the Warden-Captain Jozief Bosch and have swore to fight against the ennemies of the Imperial Truth, preached by the Emperor at the time of the Great Crusade.

Thus, they have now chosen to be on their own, serving only the Emperor' vision for his domain and not the corrupted Imperium's leadership.

Warband History
The warband, which was the 13th Minor House of the Emperor's Wardens, has been sent in 056.M42 to protect the world of Dir Nol Prime against an incoming Ork [https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Waaagh! Waaagh!].

Unfortunately, even if they managed to evacuate the civilians of the planet, they weren't able to eradicate the xenos filth and they all have been considered dead after the Inquisition ordered the Exterminatus.

It is only decades later, when the Renegade Space Marines warband appearded, that the Imperium find out they survived the Exterminatus. One of their Librarians, the Warden-Epistola managed to send a part of the House to the Warp, which save their lives.

Then, Warden-Captain Jozief heard the voice of what he thinks was the Emperor, telling him to spread the Imperial Truth throughout the Galaxy and to save Mankind from religious superstion and fears.

Once they reappeared into the Materium, they only have one purpose : save Humanity from imperial tyranny and to conquer the Milky Way in the name of the Emperor of Mankind to rebuild the Imperium as it should be.

Warband Organisation
The warband is led by Jozief Bosch, former Warden-Captain of the Emperor's Wardens. They doesn't have a lot of full Astartes and use primarily Scout Marines and endoctrinated guardsmen during their battles.

Fortunately, they have a lot of vehicles and artillery to assist them and they still have some Apothecaries capable of retrieveing the gene-seed of their fallen brethren to create new Astartes.

They also don't have a lot of Primaris Astartes, being a former Minor House of the Emperor's Wardens.

Warband Gene-Seed
The Emperor's Martyrs share the same genetic flaw of their original chapter called the Whisper, which cause a sudden and quick aging.
