	The Astral Claws saw their first depiction in a publication covering the Badab War, printed sometime in the mid-1300's. Unfortunately, the poor bastards looked like they were designed by a blind Jackson Pollock, sporting an atrocious tiger-stripe color scheme. Needless to say, most people didn't give them a second glance. Not to mention the fact that the fluff surrounding the Astral Claws in the first [[Badab War]] book was hella weak, even by Games Workshop standards. Anyway.

	The Astral Claws received a much-needed makeover in Forgeworld's <u>Imperial Armour Volume IX: The Badab War Part 1</u>. The 'Claws got a new, significantly less horrifying design, and the old Tony the Tiger pattern was pushed off onto one of the Astral Claws' successor chapters, the unfortunate [[Tiger Claws]]. With IA nine came a slew of new background for both the Astral Claws and the Badab War itself.

	Huron was (and still is, if a bit loony) the spiritual love-child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The first mention of this sonnovabitch comes in the form of an account of his having killed an Eldar Warlock with his bare hands. While he was still a scout. No, I'm not making this shit up. From that point on, Huron enjoyed a meteoric rise to power, ascending in rank and prestige from [[Devastator Squad\|Devastator]] Marine, to 1st Company Veteran, to 3rd Company Captain, to Pope, to Lord of the Dance.

	It should come as little surprise then that when the time came to elect a new Chapter Master in the wake of old Chapter Master Placeholder's death by [[Ork]] choppa to the face, the majority of Astral Claws entered their vote as "Fuck yeah, Huron." Huron led his Chapter to all new echelons of facerape in the name of the [[God-Emperor of Mankind\|Emprah]], riding a mechanized polar bear into battle at the forefront of the mighty Astral Claws.

Huron led his Chapter to all new echelons of facerape in the name of the [[God-Emperor of Mankind\|Emprah]], riding a mechanized polar bear into battle at the forefront of the mighty Astral Claws.

	Huron and his allies quickly set to work in crushing Chaos cults, [[Ork]] incursions, and all other forms of bullshit that plagued the Maelstrom zone. However, not even the greatness of the three chapters was enough to keep a lid on the brewing shitstorm that was bubbling up all over the Maelstrom zone. An attempted coup on Badab Primaris, the Astral Claw homeworld, led to a short-lived civil war on the Hive World. Huron's boys quickly put the rebels in their place, and proceeded to mete out swift justice upon those involved via bolter. In the wake of the conflict, Huron decided he'd had quite enough of little shits throughout his system trying to take what was rightfully his, and proceeded to execute most of the existing body politic on the planets his was bound to protect. Taking on the utterly awesome title of "The Tyrant of Badab", Huron made the Maelstrom zone his personal pocket empire, and began ruling it with an adamantium [[Powerfist\|powerfist]].

	In <u>Imperial Armour IX</u>, the history of the Astral Claws was expanded upon considerably. For those of you that give a damn, the chapter was formed sometime in M35 as a crusading chapter, and was responsible for kicking ass from one side of the Imperium to the other. Eventually, the chapter racked up enough victories and battle honors that even the [[Ultramarines\|Ultrasmurfs]] would have have a bitch of a time being unimpressed. When the [[High Lords of Terra]] decided that the [[Maelstrom]] zone was becoming disturbingly rife with tomfoolery, they looked to the hardest motherfuckers they could find to put things in order: The Astral Claws. Together with the [[Mantis Warriors]] and [[Lamenters]] [[Space Marine]] chapters, the Astral Claws formed a collective known as the Maelstrom Wardens. And, to quote a historian of the 38th millennium, "they got shit done." This is what happens when chapters that are honestly devoted to destroying threats are founded. Unlike nearly every other chapter who basically sit around all day doing nothing while waiting for a “worthy” threat to appear, these three chapters and the few others like them threw themselves into the Eternal War mind, body, and soul.

	The '''Astral Claws''' were a [[Space Marine\|Space Pirate Marine]] chapter of unequaled badassery and the top dogs in ship-to-ship fighting and boarding actions. After having served the Emperor faithfully for over 5,000 years, decided they'd had enough of the [[High Lords of Terra\|ungrateful fuckheads]] who ruled the Imperium and would rather do it alone. Their ensuing war of secession, known as the [[Badab War]], dragged dozens of [[Space Marine\|Spess Mahreen]] chapters into the fray and killed countless millions of innocent civilians and worthless Planetary Defense Forces. Overall, it was pretty cool.		The '''Astral Claws''' were a [[Space Marine\|Space Pirate Marine]] chapter of unequaled badassery and the top dogs in ship-to-ship fighting and boarding actions.

			Also, the Tiger Claws, one of their aforementioned 3 successors, suffered devastating casualties and had their last fleet go MIA at this time. The survivors were absorbed into the Astral Claws.
