'''The Scourged''' are a [[Chaos Space Marine]] warband that follow the [[Chaos God]] [[Tzeentch]]. Blessed by Tzeentch, the Scourged are said to hear every lie spoken by man. Though this gives them unparalleled knowledge, it eventually drives them all mad with the constant voices in their heads.{{Fn|1}}

==History==
Originally a [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] working for the [[Inquisition]] known as the '''Seekers of Truth''', the Seekers and their [[Chapter Master]], [[Gallus Herodicus]], were being drained of their morale through excessive orders by the Inquisition to murder innocents. Herodicus would pray each night to gain the power to know when a man was lying so that he may only kill the guilty. However, [[Tzeentch]] was listening and granted his prayer. From that moment on, Herodicus and his men could hear every lie spoken by mankind. The Chapter went rogue within days from the insanity when they realized how many falsehoods existed in the Imperium they were serving.{{Fn|2}}
Since going rogue, the chapters battlecry has become ''"The lies, the lies, the lies..."''{{Fn|2}}
