Unleashing the Fury: The Tainted Legacy of the Flesh Tearers
Born from the ashes of the Horus Heresy, the Flesh Tearers, a Second Founding chapter of Space Marines, inherited a fatal flaw that would forever seal their fate. Their gene-seed, tainted by the Blood Angels’ curse, predisposes them to succumb to the Black Rage, a state of uncontrolled fury that threatens to consume them.
A History Written in Blood
From their inception, the Flesh Tearers have been marked by their ferocity and thirst for blood. The War of the Beast cemented their reputation for savagery, and numerous incidents of massacres and uncontrolled violence have marred their history. Their homeworld of Cretacia, a Death World, has played a significant role in shaping their culture and behavior, breeding a fierce and resilient people prone to violence and aggression.
Condemned by the Imperium
The Flesh Tearers’ actions have not gone unnoticed. Inquisitorial investigations have condemned their behavior, and the Sisters of Battle have withdrawn their support, calling for the chapter’s destruction. Despite this, the Flesh Tearers continue to fight on behalf of the Imperium, their loyalty increasingly questioned.
Embracing the Savagery
The Flesh Tearers have come to accept their fate, seeking to leave a bold legacy in keeping with their proud traditions. They consume blood between battles to control their bloodlust, maintaining large farm-like facilities on Cretacia to supply themselves with fresh blood. The introduction of Primaris Marines has stabilized their gene-seed, bringing the Red Thirst and Black Rage under control, but at what cost to their identity and culture?
A Legacy of Bloodshed
The Flesh Tearers forge their own path, embracing the savagery that has gained them infamy. Their legacy will be one of bloodshed, but also of notable victories and a commitment to securing the galaxy in the name of the Emperor and Sanguinius. Notable members, such as Nassir Amit, Gabriel Seth, and Harahel, have shaped the chapter’s history, while vessels like the Victus and Strike Cruisers have been instrumental in their battles against heretic forces.
Strike Forces and Squads
The Flesh Tearers have participated in numerous battles, including the Crusade of Fire and the War of the Beast. Notable strike forces and squads include Strike Force Seth, Assault Squad Cainan, and Tactical Squad Micah. Though their history is shrouded in controversy, one thing remains certain: the Flesh Tearers are a chapter of unyielding fury, dedicated to the Imperium and the destruction of its enemies.
