==Organisation & Doctrine==
In comparison to the other Traitor Legions and Renegade Chapters of Chaos Space Marines, the general organisation of the Sons of Malice is not that far from the norm outlined in the [[Codex Astartes]], though they maintain 11 companies of Astartes rather than the standard 10, as 11 is believed to be the sacred number of Malice.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
The Sons of Malice are vicious, brutal and bloodthirsty in the extreme. Perhaps the Chapter's most eerie quality is that the Sons of Malice reportedly fight in utter silence, and those who have fought against them cite this as the prime source of the deeply disturbing aura surrounding them.{{Fn|1b}} They also capture living foes and civilians for their rituals and to feed upon, whether these captures are human or xenos is of little concern to them.{{Fn|3}}
