The Stone Prophets were an Institutorum Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter and a proud successor of the Eyes of the Emperor from the Second Founding.

Chapter Combat Doctrine

The original Marines seconded to the Stone Prophets never truly overcame the shell-shock left over from Hektor's betrayal, nor the hideous aftermath of the Scouring. Rocked to their very core, the Stone Prophets distrusted their natural tendencies as warriors and instead sought knowledge and guidance through more esoteric means. Because the signs and portents would often shift at a moment's notice, the Chapter quickly realized that to adhere to their new ways of life, they must focus on nothing, and so be ready for anything. Accordingly, though the Stone Prophets often fall short of more specialized Imperial forces, contemporary records evoke almost a sense of wonder at how freely these Marines could abandon entire swathes of tactical or strategic doctrine in favor of new techniques, almost at whim. As no man ever enters the same river twice, no opponent ever fought the same Stone Prophets more than once.

A number of Imperial observers made comments over the centuries prior to the Stone Prophets' destruction that their hypno-conditioning was far more impactful and invasive than most other Chapters, frequently placing Marines in the psycho-chambers even when no pressing need seemed evident. Inquisitoral records of the era make the supposition that in fact the Stone Prophets may have artificially implanted multiple menory-engrams within themselves, even whole personalities layered one atop another with different training indoctrinations, which the warrior might call upon at need. No proof was ever obtained of this however, and the Chapter's destruction rendered the question moot. Had the Stone Prophets lived on however, they would certainly have come under close scrutiny.
