Notable Campaigns
- The Anshur Summoning (892.M38) - A rebellion led by devotees of the heretical Charnel Cult engulfs the isolated hive world of Anshur, until elements of the Metamarines Chapter of Space Marines are 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 decimate the cult's ranks, and in sheer desperation the cult’s leaders invoke the name of dread An'ggrath, summoning forth the Daemon Lord, who annihilates every living thing on the world of Anshur in a seven year long orgy of violence and death.
- 13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - The entire Chapter of the Metamarines participated in the defence of Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade against the Forces of Chaos.
