The Berserkers of Skallathrax are a warband of corrupted Astartes drawn from the World Eaters Traitor Legion. After the end of the Horus Heresy the Traitor Legions were driven by the actions of Imperial forces into the Eye of Terror, a vast Warp rift of Daemon Worlds awash in Warp Storms. The World Eaters retreated from Terra only grudgingly and fought their way to the Eye of Terror, carving a bloody swathe through anything that impeded them.

  • The Berserkers of Skallathrax are a warband of corrupted Astartes drawn from the World Eaters Traitor Legion. After the end of the Horus Heresy the Traitor Legions were driven by the actions of Imperial forces into the Eye of Terror, a vast Warp rift of Daemon Worlds awash in Warp Storms. The World Eaters retreated from Terra only grudgingly and fought their way to the Eye of Terror, carving a bloody swathe through anything that impeded them. Within the Eye, the Traitor Legions eventually established a society dedicated to the rule and worship of Chaos. Whilst within the Eye, the World Eaters' searched for a homeworld to call their own. The World Eaters constantly fought the other Traitor Legions in bloody conflict as was the nature of those dedicated to Chaos, constantly trying to prove their worth to their Blood God, Khorne. But one such conflict would finally sunder the World Eaters Legion as a coherent, unified military force on the Daemon World of Skallathrax. The World Eaters faced off against the Emperor's Children Chaos Space Marines, the devoted servants of the Chaos God Slaanesh, the chief rival among the Ruinous Powers of the World Eaters' own patron God. The two armies of Traitor Marines clashed through the planet's storm-lashed cities of black rock and ice in what was later known as the Battle of Skalathrax. City after city fell to the Khornate Berserker assaults of the World Eaters, as the chosen of Khorne hurled themselves at the Emperor's Children, slaughtering the hated Slaaneshi devotees until forced to halt their attack as the Daemon World's deep freezing night fell, bringing temperatures so low that they were barely survivable even for Astartes in Power Armour. A skilled World Eaters captain by the name of Khârn, infuriated with the refusal of his fellow World Eaters to continue to attack the enemy while they sought shelter from the falling temperatures, proceeded to burn the shelters of both his own men and those of the enemy, killing both friend and foe alike as he did so and thus earning the title of "The Betrayer". This act shattered the World Eaters Legion's already fraying unity, splintering it into multiple warbands of Khornate Berserkers that roam the Eye of Terror to this day. The Berserkers of Skallathrax are one of the larger of these warbands that split off from their former Legion.
