[40k] Violators marines

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

I'm interested in painting up some Violators. Just for kicks I thought I'd
see if anyone had any info on them other than the codex EOT stuff. I've been
seeing the picture of the one berserker style Marine for a few years. I'm
hoping there was a write up in WD that I missed that might give some idea of
their fluff and special rules.
I would be most appreciative if one of you could point me in the right
direction.

what he means is:

they're a renegade chapter dedicated to slaanesh. there are no dates or
information concerning their founding or defection, but given the general
context of the book I got the impression that the latter would have been
fairly recent in 40K terms - they still use imperial-style equipment like
thunderhawks (albeit possessed ones...), assault squads with jump packs, and
assault cannons (there are no terminators mentioned, but their commander is
a dreadnought). the story is set in the maelstrom, and the violators
contingent is described as being roughly 4 companies strong, or "a third" of
the entire chapter - there's no hint of where the rest of the chapter is,
how or why it's divided, but one has to assume they're elsewhere in the
maelstrom. I won't tell you what actually happens to them during the story,
but I'd definitely recommend the book; it's far better written and more
enjoyable than the majority of BL pulp.

Thank you Al.

That helps immensely.
