Purge, The

The Purge is a Chaos Space Marine warband dedicated to the Chaos God Nurgle, the Plague Lord. They despise life in all its forms and have waged war against aliens and Mankind alike across the 3000 standard years since their founding in the 38th Millennium, though their origin remains unknown. They aim to exterminate all known life in the galaxy in service to Nurgle in his aspect as the Lord of Death. When The Purge attack a world, famine, pestilence and death soon follow. They are infamous for their conduct of genocidal campaigns and the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons on civilian and military targets alike. They recently played a major role in defending the other Forces of Chaos during the Siege of Vraks by the Imperial Guard. Their current location is unknown.

Notable Campaigns

 * Antecanis Massacre (165.M37) - The Purge is known to have participated in the Antecanis Massacre in the year 165.M37 alongside the Black Legion and other Chaos Space Marine warbands.
 * Siege of Vraks (813-830.M41) - The Purge were one of the Chaos Space Marine warbands that answered the call of the Chaos Lord Arkos the Faithless of the Alpha Legion to support the defence of the Forces of Chaos entrenched on the Armoury World of Vraks from the assault of the Imperium of Man. After the Siege of Vraks ended with the fall of that benighted world to Imperial forces after a horrifically costly military campaign in 830.M41, The Purge fled off-world.
 * Vaxhallian Genocides (926.M41) - In the year 926.M41, The Purge participated in the Vaxhallian Genocides. The warband was partially responsible for the slaughter of over 14,000,000,000 citizens of the Imperium of Man using chemical and biological weapons. Afterwards, they claimed the planet Vaxhall as their own.

Warband Appearance
The Purge's Power Armour is filthy and dirt spattered, as would be expected of followers of the Chaos God Nurgle.

Warband Colours
The Purge paints the arms and upper leg plates of its Power Armour grey-green and the hands and torsos black.

Warband Badge
The warband's badge is three black flies facing each other set 120 degrees apart on a grey-green background, which mirrors the standard sigil often called the Mark of Nurgle.
