Third War for Armageddon (998.M41) - The Marines Malevolent deployed two full companies to fight in the Third War for Armageddon.The Marines Malevolent desperately needed technological upgrades at this time to retain peak combat efficiency. Many members of the Chapter such as Sergeant Lokar's entire squad still wore Mark VI Corvus Pattern Power Armour and used antiquated versions of the Mark Vb Godwyn Pattern Bolter. It should be noted that although the Marines Malevolent had no legal claim on the Forge Ship's contents, in their defence they had desperate need of it. Tu'Shan honoured the agreement made by Captain N'Keln, but warned the Marines Malevolent that their arrogance would not be forgotten. Salamanders Chapter Master Tu'Shan later faced down Captain Vinyar on the Salamanders' homeworld of Nocturne after the return of the 3 rd Company, accusing Vinyar of shadowing Vulkan's Wrath to extract revenge. Later, after Vulkan's Wrath crash-landed on the planet Scoria, Captain Vinyar arrived in time to rescue the survivors of the Salamanders' 3 rd Company, but only after the 3 rd's Captain, N'Keln, agreed to return the salvaged weapons to the Marines Malevolent. The Marines Malevolent and Captain Vinyar only relented when threatened with the superior firepower of the Salamanders' Strike Cruiser Vulkan's Wrath. While the Salamanders were there as a rescue force looking for survivors, Sergeant Lorkar's squad of Marines Malevolent arrived to claim salvage to the Astartes armour and weapons on board, contrary to the traditional agreement the Adeptus Astartes have with the Mechanicus to return such items to their keeping. Archimedes Rex Incident (Unknown Date.M41) - A squad of Marines Malevolent under Captain Vinyar faced off with the Salamanders aboard the Adeptus Mechanicus derelict Forge Ship Archimedes Rex.Though ultimately cleared of heresy, they were censured by the Holy Ordos for their actions.

The Star Phantoms engaged the Marines Malevolent in a bloody and protracted conflict, resulting in the Marines Malevolent's near destruction at their hands. But with the death of the Lord Solar in 400.M41, they became swiftly embroiled in the Macharian Heresy - the civil war and factional division that followed among Macharius' generals and war leaders. The Marines Malevolent served alongside the morose Star Phantoms Chapter during many of the campaign's most deadly engagements. Macharian Crusade (392-399.M41) - The Marines Malevolent deployed the entirety of their Chapter in support of the enormous undertaking known as the Macharian Crusade under the command of one of the Imperium's most notable commanders, Lord Commander Solar Macharius.

This has resulted in many forces of the Imperium refusing to serve alongside this infamous Chapter. Though none would gainsay their effectiveness in battle, several other Space Marine Chapters consider the Marines Malevolent belligerent, antagonistic and wanting in brotherhood with their fellow Adeptus Astartes. This callous disregard for the fate of others has proven less than popular with those who serve alongside them, and on one occasion has almost resulted in an outright feud with the Salamanders Chapter.Īlthough the war record of the Marines Malevolent can be described as exemplary, many of their erstwhile wartime allies have questioned this Chapter's conduct in the prosecution of a campaign. This Chapter's reputation for aggressiveness and general disregard for innocent life has brought it into conflict with fellow Astartes Chapters as well as calls for Inquisitorial censure and investigation. Despite its zeal for prosecuting wars against the enemies of the Imperium and the Emperor, allegations of excessive use of force against civilian populations have long been leveled against its battle-brothers even by other Astartes Chapters, as have accusations of collateral damage against fellow Imperial forces. The Marines Malevolent is a Space Marine Chapter whose name has long been a byword for carnage and devastation. Marines Malevolent Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by a Firstborn Space Marine.
