Wow-wee, the ''Steel Cobras'', sounds like the name of a biker gang. Made during the 23rd Founding, these guys were tasked with supporting the Imperium in places where it needed the help. Sadly, the Cobras got a visit from the [[Ecclesiarchy]], and when the cardinal saw how the Cobras worshiped the Emperor via animal totems, he got his Excommunication on. [[Sons of Malice|Sounds familiar, no?]] From there, the Steel Cobras joined [[Chaos]], and now have probably the most insane hideout outside whatever the [[Alpha Legion]] uses the most. Their base of operations is a set of [[Awesome|seabunkers on the bottom of an ''ammonia ocean'' on the icy world of Tukareo VII]]. What makes this even funnier is that the Imperium ''knows'' they're there, [[Fail|it's just they won't commit the resources]], let alone an entire chapter, to go down there and fish them out. No reason why they don't just [[Exterminatus]] the planet, though; if your planet is cold enough to have ''liquid ammonia'', you're beyond a [[Death World]]. This ''could'', as in it ''should'', mean that these guys are '''Water Marines'''. Or, more likely, hazardous environmental operation marines...or hilariously, ''Piss Marines''. In the September 2019 issue of ''White Dwarf'' they came back since they debuted in 3.5 Edition, now fully supporting Nurgle and going under the name ''Children of Blain'' or ''Chil'Blains'' for short because their [[Chaos Lord]], Akhasis Blain, said so. Why exactly Games Workshop miniatures designer Alexandre Dumillard chose these guys to flesh out is anyone's guess. But hey, they actually got to keep their color scheme, and all it costed them was teeth and bone mutations. | |||

Wow-wee, the Steel Cobras, sounds like the name of a biker gang. Made during the 23rd Founding, these guys were tasked with supporting the Imperium in places where it needed the help. Sadly, the Cobras got a visit from the Ecclesiarchy, and when the cardinal saw how the Cobras worshiped the Emperor via animal totems, he got his Excommunication on. Sounds familiar, no? From there, the Steel Cobras joined Chaos, and now have probably the most insane hideout outside whatever the Alpha Legion uses the most. Their base of operations is a set of seabunkers on the bottom of an ammonia ocean on the icy world of Tukareo VII. What makes this even funnier is that the Imperium knows they're there, it's just they won't commit the resources, let alone an entire chapter, to go down there and fish them out. No reason why they don't just Exterminatus the planet, though; if your planet is cold enough to have liquid ammonia, you're beyond a Death World. This could, as in it should, mean that these guys are Water Marines. Or, more likely, hazardous environmental operation marines...or hilariously, Piss Marines. In the September 2019 issue of White Dwarf they came back since they debuted in 3.5 Edition, now fully supporting Nurgle and going under the name Children of Blain or Chil'Blains for short because their Chaos Lord, Akhasis Blain, said so. Why exactly Games Workshop miniatures designer Alexandre Dumillard chose these guys to flesh out is anyone's guess. But hey, they actually got to keep their color scheme, and all it costed them was teeth and bone mutations.
