The Sons of Malice are a Renegade Chapter of Chaos Space Marines who turned to the service of the Chaos God Malal or Malice some time prior to the start of the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. They are the enemies of the Imperium of Man and the other Forces of Chaos alike and have battled both successfully during the recent campaigns fought against Abaddon the Despoiler near the Eye of Terror. They seek to reclaim their lost Chapter homeworld of Scelus and carry forth the plans of Malice to unleash the wrath of the Renegade God upon both his fellow Ruinous Powers and the "Corpse Emperor" of Mankind.
