Chapter History

Metamarine Marine — Metamarines Chapter Colour Scheme

Notable Campaigns

The Anshur Summoning (892.M38) - A rebellion led by devotees of the heretical Charnel Cult engulfed the isolated Hive World of Anshur, until elements of the Metamarines Chapter of Space Marines were despatched at the request of the Administratum to reclaim Anshur's industrial output for the Imperium. In a meticulously planned campaign of surgical strikes and scorched earth assaults, the Metamarines decimated the cult's ranks, and in sheer desperation the cult's leaders invoked the name of dread An'ggrath, summoning forth the Daemon Lord, who annihilated every living thing on the world of Anshur in a seven year long orgy of violence and death.
13^th Black Crusade (999.M41) - The entire Chapter of the Metamarines participated in the defence of Cadia during the 13^th Black Crusade against the Forces of Chaos.
