Tactically adaptable infantry that can be equipped with ranged or melee weapon upgrades. Data version: 2.0

Chaos Space Marines are former Tactical Squads that have abandoned their loyalties to the Imperium of Man and now dedicate themselves to the pursuits of the dark gods of Chaos. Like other space marines they are heavily armoured infantry, quite slow but powerful.
