The Argent Hammers is a Space Marine Chapter. A majority of the Chapter was corrupted into the Chaos Space Marine warband known as the Talons of Anathrax during the Abyssal Crusade in M37.[1]
History
The chapter were among the thirty Chapters whose homeworld lay in the path of the Warp Storm Dionys that appeared in M37. In Dionys wake did the levels of mutation and cultist activity rose dramatically and the Chapters caught in it had their gene-seed corrupted. When the powerful and influential Saint Basillius heard of this, he declared all those Chapters whose homeworlds had become corrupted to be rendered into his judgement. Such was his influence that the High Lords of Terra agreed to the decision, and 30 chapters were found to be corrupted. Basillius ordered that the 30 Chapters take part in the Abyssal Crusade into the Eye of Terror, and one by one the Chapters solemnly undertook their quest of certain doom in 321.M37.[1]
By unknown means was parts of the Argent Hammers corrupted into Talons of Anathrax.[1]
Upon return from the Eye of Terror the surviving loyalist Argent Hammers, in the company of Fists of Olchis, were attacked by the Red Talons Chapter who described both as "outcast Chapters", and both were almost completely wiped out [2]
