Swords of Khargoth

The Swords of Khargoth are a warband of Chaos Space Marines who were formerly Loyalist Astartes of the Swords of Praesium Chapter. Their current allegiance is to Chaos Undivided. Descended from two once-loyal companies of those Space Marines, these Astartes turned to the service of Chaos out of desperation after being trapped on the world of Acropolis Vega within a Warp Storm for 70 Terran years. Sometime during the 41st Millennium the forces of Chaos attacked the Imperial world of Acropolis Vega. Two companies from the Swords of Praesium Chapter were sent in response to aid the beleaguered planet. Shortly after making planetfall, a Warp Storm of great magnitude engulfed the entire star system , effectively cutting off the Loyalist Astartes from the rest of the galaxy for nearly seven solar decades.
