Another Warband which [[/tg/]] likes to include in the category of "Why the fuck do we even exist?", '''The Reborn''' are notable because of their heavily corroded armor and use of very old, almost antiquated weaponry [[Plasma|because antique weapons are the most effective in W40K]]. They were first sighted in 795.M40.

Just like the [[Dragon Warriors]] and about half of all other Warbands, they have potential, but due to extreme laziness, they are lost in the hole of obscurity, because who gives a fuck if they aren't [[Black Legion]] or [[Emperor's Children|an]] [[Death Guard|aligned]] [[World Eaters|War]][[Thousand Sons|band]].

Their only known event they appear in lore comes to us from [[Forge World]], where the Reborn were said to have had a hand in the events leading to the [[Badab War]]: long before the whole debacle, the warband supported a [[Chaos Cults|chaos cultist]] uprising in a key system of the Badab sector. With the help of the Reborn, the cultists managed to turn the planet into an irradiated shithole [[Krieg]]-style. The entire planet became uninhabited and the trade routes in the system began collapsing, promting the [[High Lords]] to create the [[Badab War|Malestorm Warders]]. The rest is history.

The servants of [[Slaanesh]] come in many forms, but a unifying trait is an addiction to the sensations of war. The Violators are without a doubt, one of the most crazed in this regard - considering themselves to be the most skilled and most devoted of all of the Prince of Excess's servants. Their icon, a lightning-wrapped dagger, is a fitting one, as the Violators legion is known to [[/d/|go to extremes]] to alter their bodies and and brains in the pursuit of further pleasures, often extensively surgically and cybernetically altering themselves to further this end. By far the most infamous component of their forces is that they frequently use neural implants - believed to be knockoffs of similar implants used by the [[World Eaters]] - to directly electrically stimulate the pleasure centers of their brains. Fittingly, the Violators consider the integrity of their altered (and often mutated) bodies to be sacrosanct - personal temples to Slaanesh - and will thus only remove their armor in the presence of superiors who fittingly embody Slaanesh's ideals of pleasure and perfection.

They have a personal fondness for close-combat and Chaos Bikers in particular.

In the fluff, the Violators are a small but notable warband, who have a personal murderboner for [[Khorne]]'s servants. Unfortunately, while the Violators have more than sufficient ''skill'' to meet their Khornate rivals blade-to-blade, they have neither the numbers nor fortune to be able to take them on whole-hog, and they have a hilarious tendency to get absolutely reamed by them in the fluff. They were extremely active during the 13th Black Crusade, where they basically rampaged throughout the Cadian sector drawing attention away from any of [[Abaddon]]'s actually important forces. Outside of operations for other warbands, they are known for their massive recruitment drives, which predominantly involve recruiting the worst of the worst from Imperial Prisons.

==Origins==
It's never been clear where they came from, with the most popular theories amongst [[/tg/|experts]] being a splinter of the [[Emperor's Children]] (due to patron god and general sick fuck-ness) or a Traitor warband that initiated from the [[White Scars]] (due to their tactic of choice aka a boner for swords and bikes and a lightning sigil).

==Notable Exploits==
[[File:Violators mini.png|200px|thumb|right|Their first apperance, in the 3rd Edition Chaos Space Marines Codex.]]
* '''Fall of Torvendis (Unknown Date.M41)''' - Four hundred Violators were stationed permanently on the [[Daemon World]] of Torvendis within the [[Maelstrom]] under the banner of the [[Daemon Prince]] named [[Monstergirls|Lady Charybdia]]. Led by the Violators Champion [[Demetrius]], who was entombed in a Dreadnought, the Violators fought a desperate holding action to maintain a grip on one of Slaneesh's sacred sites, located under Charybdia Keep. Unfortunately, [[Khorne]] sent the [[World Eaters]], [[Bloodletters]], and the Daemon Prince Ss'll Sh'karr, and the bulk of the Violators present were slaughtered.
* '''13th Black Crusade (999.M41)''' - Their most prominent time to shine, the Violators were one of the first forces to throw down in the initial assault against Cadia. As is usually the case, most of their operations were centered around causing as much death and havoc as possible and repeatedly recruiting from liberated Imperial Prisons and Inquisition sites. While one of the smaller warbands involved, they were also one of the ones to escape, continuing to raid supply routes and worlds in the Cadian Sector for centuries to come.
* '''Assault on Saint Josmane's Hope (999.M41)''' - The first of the inner worlds of the Cadian System to fall to the Forces of Chaos during the 13th Black Crusade was the Prison World of Saint Josmane's Hope, whose inmates threw their lot in with the invaders in the vain hope of being granted freedom. Unfortunately for them, their liberators were the Violators. The continent-sized prison was almost immediately taken over by the Violators, and many of the guards killed themselves rather than experience [[Anal Circumference|the horrors of what the Slaaneshi Marines would subject them to]]. Even God won't have a problem with suicide when the alternative is capture by Chaos or Dark Eldar. While the prisoners initially welcomed the Traitor forces, this quickly ended as once the Violators were done with murdering the Imperials, and done recruiting promising candidates for themselves, the rest were either shipped to the [[Black Legion]] as slaves, conscripted into Chaos Militias, or [[FATAL|used to vent the Violators' latent social frustrations]]. The pandemonium was sufficient that [[Creed|Usarker Motherfucking Creed]] ordered that the prison be subjected to [[Exterminatus]]. Unfortunately, even the tactical genius of Creed couldn't do a goddamn thing about the massive warfleet Abaddon had in space around the Cadian sector. Eventually, Imperial operatives landed on the planet, and did successfully penetrate the prison complex and blow the generatorium grid, causing the entire continent to sink into the planet's mantle. While many of the Violators on-site died, many survived, owing to bringing the Black Legion their tribute at the time.

The closest thing that [[Chaos]] has to the [[Legion of the Damned]]. The Warp Ghosts are a warband of undead time traveling chaos space marines with a curse that causes their bodies to rot over time forcing them to replace them by possessing other bodies. Other Chaos warbands often hire the Warp Ghosts to help transport them safely though the [[Eye of Terror]], but at a high price.

Abaddon himself encountered The Warp Ghosts before the First Black Crusade. The Warp Ghosts escorted Abaddon and his troops out of the Eye of Terror after agreeing to give away his sorcerers and psyker children as payment. They would soon become Warp Ghosts members. Somehow, by some warp fuckery and time travel, Saronos, the leader of the Ghosts, is Ashur-Kai of the [[Black Legion]].

The Warp Ghosts operate a heavily armored contigent dubbed the [[Mythology#Greco-Roman Mythology|Stygian]] Vanguard which is known to operate a [[Typhon Heavy Siege Tank]], and is heralded by all sorts of freaky and ominous signals such as the sky darkening and the sounds of a clarion coming from no discernible source. This formation has clashed three times against the [[Grey Knights]], and the [[Revilers]] and [[Exorcists]] an unspecified number of times.

Some rumors say that The [[Bleak Brotherhood]] is a faction of those creepy ass marines.
