The '''Executioners''' are a [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] who sided with [[Tyrant of Badab|Lufgt Huron]] during the [[Badab War|Badab Uprising]]. With Huron's defeat, they were granted the [[Emperor|Emperor's]] forgiveness, subject to undertaking a 100 year crusade, and forfeiting their [[homeworld]] to one of the loyalist chapters of the Badab War. During the Badab War, the Executioners had, for unknown reasons, sided with the [[Red Corsairs|Astral Claws]]; along with the [[Mantis Warriors]], and the [[Lamenters]]out of an oath taken to pledge allegiance with the Tyrant. Haakon was reported to have said: "To side with one is to break faith with the other, but an oath is an oath. Throne or saviour, blood calls out for blood. We honour our debts regardless."
The Executioner's designate different squad types by shoulder plate colour: Red for [[Scouts]], purple for [[Devastator Squad|Devastators]], yellow for [[Assault Squad|Assault]], and green for [[Tactical Squad]]s.
