Once the Crimson Sabres Chapter of Loyalist Space Marines, the Crimson Slaughter began its descent into heresy on the world of Umidia in M41.22:33, August 27, 2012 (UTC)The Imperial Fist (talk)
The planet's inhabitants were, according to the Crimson Sabres, attempting the summoning of a powerful Khornate daemon. The Space Marines purged the entire planet. This led to them being declared renegade due to signs of psychological instability and over-zealous prosecution of their campaigns.
As punishment (or possibly reward) for the bloody annihilation of his worshippers, Khorne cursed the Crimson Sabres to be haunted by the voices of those they killed. Subsequent bloodshed could silence the voices, but only for a short time. Sevastus Kranon, Chapter Master of the Crimson Sabres, led his warriors into the Eye of Terror to slaughter traitors instead of spilling the blood of innocents, thereby gaining a temporary respite.
Within the Eye of Terror, the Crimson Sabres, now remade as the Crimson Slaughter, were blessed with many gifts to enhance their combat prowess. Sevastus Kranon, reborn as Kranon the Relentless, learned of the mystical Hellfire Stone and led his warriors in search of it.
Joining forces with a more powerful Traitor Legion in the midst of a Black Crusade, the Crimson Slaughter rampaged across the southern rim of the galaxy. They eventually engaged the 5th Company of the Dark Angels on the world of Stern's Remembrance, leading to the deaths of many Adeptus Astartes, including Company Master Zadakiel. This earned the Crimson Slaughter the undying need for vengeance of the Dark Angels and the newly-ascended Company Master Balthasar vowed to hunt down the renegades and bring their heads back to the Rock; the space-borne fortress-monastery of the Dark Angels.
The hunt took place across a dozen worlds, until the Crimson Slaughter were finally tracked to Bane's Landing...or were the Dark Angels lured there instead?
