The Purge...oh boy, where to even begin about these maniacs? Well, I suppose we could start with the good news, and that is these guys are desperate for a galaxy with justice for all. They became sick of all the lies, all the evil, and all the corruption in the galaxy that spawned without end. They will thus employ any means they can to turn the universe to goodness, truth, and happiness again. These guys sound perfect, so what's the problem you say? The problem? They determined that the root cause of all evil in the galaxy is life.
Yeeeeah...basically, these guys hate life even more than the Oldcrons did before Matt Ward got a hold of them. Thus, doing the only thing that makes sense in this horrible universe, they have waged an endless war against humans and alien, Imperium and Chaos alike to blight everything and make it all rot and burn away. Now normally, these just sound like some guys who've been in the Warp for too long - but on second look, its not the case, as they only turned rouge/were sighted in M36. Unfortunately for everyone else, The Purge also gained access or somehow started to manufacture some of the most powerful chemical and biological weapons ever known. And furthermore, its quite clear they have the favor of Papa Nurgle or at least took the lion's share of Nurglite Warpsmiths and Dark Mechanicum, since many of their biological weapons are powerful on a scale that even the Death Guard doesn't really get to work with, and their chemical weapons are something beyond just about everyone in the galaxy.
While they don't seem to have access to the specialties of other Nurgle warbands, like the Apostles of Contagion group's specialty with Plague Zombies, the truth is they don't fucking need it. When we're talking chemical weaponry that can dissolve a guardsman whole, and given time has no major problems fucking up a Leman Russ or Macharius tank too, these moralfags mean buisness. Like I say... ridiculous. They didn't even play a particularly large part compared to their notoriety in what was a fuckhuge and exceptionally grimdark war, the Siege of Vraks. They did good work stalling the Emperor's lackeys, but that primarily was because even the psychotically loyal and stupid BRAVE men and women of Krieg can't keep fighting when they are being dissolved by rolling clouds of deathly acid, although any Commissars present probably tried to get them to try. Given that the offensives stalled out, with crazy huge casualties even by the standards of the Vraks conflict (where it was assumed that the sixth wave of twenty thousand would reach the enemy by constructing a crude armored vehicle from the remains of the first five waves), we can only assume that those commissars were unsuccessful, and/or their hats dissolved and thus robbed them of any authority.
The main reason why the Purge are memorable beyond slaughtering Kriegian guardsmen is that the areas that they fought on are even more uninhabitable than the rest of the quagmire of corpses, promethium and undetonated shells that is Vraks. Oh and they slaughtered FOURTEEN BILLION IMPERIAL CITIZENS IN LESS THAN A MONTH (in the infamous Vaxhallian Genocide)!! Holy shit! That's gotta count for something, right?
That and they also ripped off Judge Death's logic.
At some point the purge joined one of failbaddon's black crusades, where they and several other groups were charged with escorting a cruiser capable of destroying the fortifications on Cadia. The purge killed the other traitors, stole the ship and blew up several others before flying off with it.
