Sons of Antaeus

Overview
Part of the Cursed 21st Founding, the Sons of Antaeus has led a mysterious existence. It is unknown what exactly went wrong, if anything, in the creation of these mysterious Space Marines.

As with many other Space Marine chapters, the Sons of Antaeus are inspired by cultural aspects of certain societies, The Sons of Antaeus are inspired by the Greek/Berber mythological figure of Antaeus, an incredibly strong and near invincible character descended from Gods.

The obvious links with Herculean mythology could hint at a link between the Sons of Antaeus and the Ultramarines chapter, but there is no official evidence to back up this assumption.

Notable Campaigns
The only official Imperial record that lists the Sons of Antaeus is the Chronicles of the Third Inter-Guild War of the Inca Sector 850-901M41. Captain Rakman of the Subjugators chapter reported that the Sons of Antaeus showed up unexpectedly and opened a 2nd front forcing the Eldar pirates to attempt to redeploy. This resulted in the destruction of the Eldar raiding force.

As soon as the Eldar were defeated and the Subjugators were victorious the Sons of Antaeus vanished as mysteriously as they had arrived.

It is reported that they have been seen in action by other reputable Imperial forces. There are many conflicting stories, but two things remain constant.

The Sons of Antaeus battle brothers are capable of withstanding damage that would kill any normal Space Marine in seconds. There are many rumors as to why they are so difficult to destroy, ranging from reinforced skeletons to ancient genetics. At this time, the truth is not known.
