The '''Beasts of Annihilation''' are a [[Chaos Space Marine]] warband. These warriors are devout followers of the [[Chaos Gods|Dark Gods]] and frequently allow creatures of the [[Warp]] to inhabit their bodies. As such the Beasts of Annihilation field an unusually large number of [[Possessed Space Marine Squad|Possessed]] squads.<sup>1</sup>
==History==
Originally known as the '''Annihilators''', the Chapter finally succumb to a completely insanity during the anti-[[xenos]] genocidal [[Quietus Campaign]]. Those of the chapter still able to act rationally gathered at their [[Fortress-Monastery]] in the hope of finding absolution, but instead their corrupted [[Chaplain]]s led them into a ritual of [[Daemon]]ic possession. Every member of the Chapter was possessed over the course of a single night. After, they called themselves the Beasts of Annihilation.{{Fn|2}}
