The Chimera Legion are a /tg made Chaos Warband, a mercenary splinter group of the Iron Warriors that worships the Obliterator Virus. They excel at genetech and body modification, making living weapons out of themselves and the swarms of cultists that follow them fanatically. If you've got a siege you just can't crack, a target that just won't go down, they're the ones to call.

Organisation

The Warband itself is led by Thodos, an obliterator turned daemon prince, however when Thodos is busy in the warp, dicking about or regenerating, the warband is instead lead by his advisors, the Quintumvirate. These are Arlek the Ironchosen, High Commander Silas Warpshriek, Archanon of the Steel Soul, Orphaeus Paraphron the High Fleshshaper, and High Prophessor Tianakles.

Known members

• Thodos: Obliterator turned Daemon Prince
• Arlek the Ironchosen: A mentor then close friend and confidant to Theodorus during the Heresy Arlek accidentally exposed his friend to the Obliterator Virus and sent him down the path to Princedom. Within the legion he manages the forges and factories of the Legion. His role as liason to the Dark Mechanicus allows him to manage the finances of the legion with ease, his mechanical mind suited to such work.
• High Commander Silas Warpshriek: A raptor of exceptional clarity and shrewd cunning, Silas is Thodos' military right hand man, overseeing deployment, recruitment, and campaign operations of the Chimeras. Like a son to Thodos, Silas is fatalistically loyal to Thodos, and has learned much of commanding troops under his lord.
• Archanon: Undisputed master of the attendant sorcerer covens, the wizard offers cryptic council and mysticism to an otherwise business-like committee. The sorcerer is oft untrusted and begrudgingly listened to.
• Orphaeus Paraphron: High Fleshshaper: As the Ironchosen commands the crucibles and forges of the legion so does Orphaeus oversee the precious Chimera laboratories. From the development of new viruses to the perfection and application of mutagens, Orphaeus lords over it all. Sometimes he will trade with other lords of the craft, like Eldar Haemonculi or the Venerable Fabius Bile to further his own research.
• High Prophessor Tianakles: Held in the esteem of Thodos for his skills of Oration and control Tiankles is the father of the Chimeric Cult, the thousands of cultists ready to die for the legion falling under his direct supervision from his great pulpit.
