Cleaved

The Cleaved are a warband of Chaos Space Marines of unknown origin who serve the Plague God Nurgle. These mysterious warriors first appeared during the insurrection on the world of Magma Codelian. The Loyalist Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum’s 334th Iridian Regiment had pushed their way into the rebellious planetary governor’s palace after a sustained bombardment. The regiment’s Primaris Psykers realised too late that the architecture of the governor’s keep was actually a gigantic summoning circle. Amongst the choking fumes, the insurrectionists conjured reinforcements; not Daemons, but Chaos Space Marines with strange, oil-like blood oozing from the joints in their armour.
