The '''Legion of the Damned''' are a mysterious band of [[Space Marines]], possibly they are formed from the remnants of the destroyed [[Fire Hawks]] chapter, who . They appear unexpectedly from nowhere to help Imperial forces in times of great need.
They were introduced in [[White Dwarf 99 (UK)]] and occasionally made appearances in later editions of Warhammer 40,000. They could be used by an Imperial army as an allied force, and fought as a single unit. The Games Workshop website presently has a datasheet for using the Legion of the Damned in games of [[Apocalypse]]. Currently in 5th Edition, they are available as an elites choice for the [[Codex: Space Marines (5th Edition)| Space Marines codex]].

==Background==
 
The Legion are afflicted by a warp contagion that destroys their sanity; as it progresses their bodies decay, but they grow in supernatural strength. Each Marine is rapidly approaching the moment when he will succumb to the contagion. Combat can initiate the final stages of the disease, in which the Marine reaches a peak in power and enters a berserker state.
