Chaos Space Marines (along with the Lost and the Damned and the Chaos Daemons) are arguably (very, with the other primary contenders being the Necrons and the Tyranids, some suggest that the Orks would fit the bill but most regard them as being too disorganized to seriously contest the title) the main antagonists in the Warhammer 40K universe. Basically Space Marines who have channeled their Faith in the Emperor to something more worthy of worship, like say, a Chaos God. The majority of them are the 10,000+ year old Veterans who stood by the Emperor during the formation of the Imperium. Now, they want nothing more than to tear it down. Why? For the lulz, of course, particularly due to the fact that a great deal of them can't even remember why they rebelled in the first place.

Seeing as how they're basically very experienced and potent Veteran marines further enhanced by the Powers of Chaos, Chaos Space Marines are generally stronger combatants than their loyalist brethren. Basically they exist to show that Space Marines aren't complete Mary Sues. They come in 5 exciting flavors;

  • Khorne - Close quarters badasses full of RAAAAAAAAAGGGEEEE!. Best dedicated melee fighters in the setting, second to NONE. Insane, ruthless, barbaric and continually lusting after BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE. Khorne's dedicated marines are known as Berzerkers and are famed for their revolutionary use of the Chainaxe, which is basically an Eviscerator Chainsword on steroids and reforged into an axe, and fucktastically fearless charges. Kharn is a fine example of a Khornate Marine and the World eaters are the most famous Chaos legion dedicated to Khorne.
  • Tzeentch - Tricky, conniving psykers. Unlike Khorne, who hates magic users 'cause they're un-manly skirt wearers, Tzeentch is something of an equal opportunity employer among the Great Gods. And has no qualms with physical brutality and tremendous strength and combat skill when it can suit him. So his warriors, though not nearly the equals of Khornate Berzerkers, are quite fine in a good 'ol scrap. The Thousand Sons are the most famous Chaos legion dedicated to Tzeentch.
  • Slaanesh - What you get when Space Marines start going hookers and blow, they wanna get higher than high while banging an absurd amount of chicks.....while being high. Slaaneshi marines are looking for the next high and have more drugs in their system than........pretty much every junkie in the world. Combined. With that, they get Penis fingers to give them the extra edge and guy-on-speedballx20-like awareness, which is kinda like being able to see bullets flying at you and actually evade them. Doomrider is one of the most famous Slaaneshi champions and the Emperor's Children are the best known Slaanesh-following legion.
  • Nurgle - Rotting, diseased, decaying racks of flesh who can take hits that would kill a squad of Terminators. Something of a meat shield as far as Chaos is concerned. They've contracted every disease in creation and then some. Despite them looking like a bag of things best not described, Nurgle's followers won't hesitate to give you a big, long, family hug. Dawww. The Death Guard are the most famous legion dedicated to Nurgle.
  • Undivided - Asshats who lack the balls to commit themselves to a Chaos God.

Overview

Basically SPESS MEHREENS who, for whatever non-reason, decided they were too cool and edgy for the Imperium of Man, so they redirected their homolust for the Emprah to something else...like a Chaos god. During the height of the Horus Heresy, they went all evil and did a lot of nasty on their former comrades until they were forced to retreat to the Eye of Terror due to Smurfs. Who were not on the other side of the galaxy when this occurs., disregard that, the Smurfs didn't even participate in the defense of Terra.

Naturally, they fight just like Space Marines, except on the average, stronger, more experienced and older, given that the majority stood with their Primarchs during the Great Crusade. They keep using shit they were equipped with prior to the Horus Heresy such as bolters and the ever useful Space Marine plot armor, which would explain why they haven't fist fucked each other to death before reaching the Eye of Terror or why they would follow the lead of a particular Saturday morning cartoon villain. Chaos Marines are also commonly known to compensate their aging weapons (which didn't really age much considering how fucktarded Imperium tech support is) by using demon magic, giving themselves penis fingers for that extra edge in combat. (Daemon steroids for Khorne's followers, for example )

They're the oldest fogies (or at least the ones from traitor legions are anyway) in the setting, barring the homosexual faggots, That one angry viking dreadnought, who's about their age, and the Emo Tomb King expys and maybe a few of the Omnivorous Space Bug Lizards. Because of this, they irritably refer to the Loyalists as "Pups", "An army of Children" and "Those FUCKING whippersnappers." Frequently mocking their methods of Warfare as un-manly, and shouting such phrases as "THIS IS HOW WE DID IT MY DAY!!". Except when they meet Bjorn the Fell Handed, then they just crap themselves.

The Traitor Legions

When the Horus Heresy struck, nine of the original twenty legions turned against the Emprah and most of them devoted themselves to a particular Chaos God or devoted themselves to Chaos itself. There are about a Hundred Thousand Chaos Space Marines per Legion, however they are mostly widely scattered, it's very rare to see more than a grand company (equal in size to a chapter) of them at a time. The list of the 9 legions:
