Located in the Jiminex System near the borders of the Segmentum Pacificus and Segmentum Tempustus, the Tempest Sons protect the Imperium from alien dangers beyond the borders of known space. As the newest Successor Chapter of the Dark Angels, recruitment is at a high point to fill the vacant ranks of the Chapter. During a campaign in the Talleo System around 990.M40, The Tempest Sons encountered a Chaos Marines warband led by the Chaos Champion Lord Refutus. In a mighty struggle, the Tempest Sons discovered that Refutus was actually a Fallen Dark Angel who used to be named Archos. Led by the Chapter Chaplain named Reverend Kai, the revered Dreadnought Dravus the Seeker, and the Tempest Sons' Gemini (Third) Company, Archos and his war band were defeated. Archos was then brought to repent his sins under the careful hands of Reverend Kai, adding another pearl to his Crosius. In 005.M41 the Tyranid Hive Fleet Perseus was detected near Solstice, an Imperial world. The Imperial naval base at Bakka responded with several fleets. The Tempest Sons, although still small in number as they proceeded with their initial recruitment procedures, sent their entire Chapter to intercept the Hive Fleet. A large battle ensued in the skies of Solstice. A small Tyranid force invaded the planet where they were met by the Tempest Sons. The hive city Ramadan fell under seige from the Tyranids. The Tempest Sons held off the Tyranid attack for 56 hours. Depleted in number, but not in spirit, the Tempest Sons held fast against the threat to protect the city. When their defeat seemed inevitable, Grand Master Poe faced the invasion's Hive Tyrant in hand-to-hand combat. Using his Staff of Righteousness, he was able to slay the Hive Tyrant. Their link to the Hive Mind damaged, the Tyranids retreated and the hive city of Ramadan was saved.

The Thousand Sons are a Traitor Legion of Chaos Space Marines wholly dedicated to the service of the Chaos God Tzeentch who were once one of the First Founding Space Marine Legions before the Horus Heresy. Their Primarch was Magnus the Red, an unusual mutant Primarch who possessed potent psychic powers and a deep knowledge of sorcery. Magnus the Red is presently a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch. The Thousand Sons also had an unusually high number of psykers in their midst, a number which only increased after they swore themselves to the service of the Changer of Ways, who is the Chaos God of Sorcery. Due to the workings of a potent sorcerous spell called the Rubric of Ahriman, none of the Thousand Sons Chaos Marines possess organic bodies any longer; instead, their souls have been directly fused with their suits of ancient Power Armour. The Thousand Sons may also have possessed a small contingent of Space Marines who remained Loyal to the Emperor during the Heresy and split off to form their own Loyalist Chapter. The descendants of these Marines may be the current Blood Ravens Chapter, which like the Thousand Sons possesses an unusual number of psykers among its Battle-Brothers.

They were described in detail in two Epic articles in White Dwarf magazines 126 and 136, circa 1990-91. The status of the Valedictors changed in White Dwarf 235, where they are said to be of a "later founding," (post-Second Founding). Therefore, in the most recent canon literature, the Valedictors are no longer a First Founding Legion. The Valedictors' Power Armour is oak-leaf green with a teardrop on the kneecap plate with a Roman numeral inside to denote the company. The Chapter symbol is a winged "V".
