As the partnership between Anubis and Magos Ma'Ta grew, the trust between the two grew. Anubis allowed the magos to harvest some of his own gene seed, just enough to replicate it and grow the legion once more. Also the dead in the legion were donated to him to work upon. With the view of the legion that they never truly died, a sentience was implanted into a marine, and he would lead his gun servitors to battle.

Sons Of Anubis - The Dark Mechanicus

As the time progressed the legion acted as vultures, dropping out of the warp to pick upon their foes and then stepping back into the great ocean to vanish again. Due to the manner of the warp the legion passed around time and space, striking like pirates would to plunder and then retreating to strike again. It was one such occurrence where the legion was spat into the dark of space on the brink of the eye of terror. The planet with the legion set its targets on would forever change the legion, for the better or worst that decision lay with the decision maker.

A forgeworld was being slowly sucked into the eye of terror, this was a forgeworld whos magos's had been probing into the forbidden technologies and had the ideologies that all knowledge is worth knowing. This lead to similar goal between the legion and the head magos Ma'Ta. 

Rumors were heard that a giant beast, with a canine head, twice the height of a marine, and resembled a daemon from legend, was seen on this forgeworld.

Once the legion and the forgeworld had alligned priorities it is said that the forgeworld just vanished from known space into the warp. And too this day people make up stories about a planet that was taken into the warp, and now the mad magos builds it up as a fortress in the warp, a way station for the corrupt and diseased, a place where death calls home. 

The Tomb of Anubis.

Here is my warpsmith/magos if I play them using the mechanicus rules.

Sons Of Anubis - Chaos Lord on Juggernaut/Bike

Here is a WIP of my chaos lord, to be used as either a lord on bike or juggernaut and equipped with a powerfist and lightning claw. 

Using this model: (Kazyk-the-Befouled)

Sons OF Anubis - Chaos Spawn

With the inevitable roll on the boon table and wanting to spread to some fast attack choice i made some spawn. Using the standard spawn kit. I am thinking i might use the AOS crypt ghoul for the other 3 spawn to go in the unit. Then that unit to be lead by a lord on bike/juggernaut.

Sons Of Anubis - Daemon Prince

With gaming, and with the vain hope of getting the good role on the boon table I made a daemon prince using the ogre/troll from AOS warshrine kit.

Sons Of Anubis - Nurgle Herald

With worshiping death it was actually cuddly old papa nurgle that answered the legions calls into the void, and with that came their use of daemons as a weapon to deploy against their enemies.

Here is my nurgle herald.

Sons Of Anubis - Chaos Lord/Chosen Rhino - The Warshrino

Sons Of Anubis - Special Weapon Marine - Plasma Gun

The Wych Fires spoken of in the rumors and myths surrounding the Sons Of Anubis were stretched truths that referenced the legions love of plasma weaponry. The legion would always overcharge their plasma guns of their did not fear death, they thought of themselves as at one with it. This lead to the notorious blue glow that can be seen in the fog as the legion advances.

Here is a plasma gun marine.

The Sons Of Anubis - Backstory

Welcome,

I have constructed my own chaos space marine legion, that fluff wise is portrayed as a fallen legion.

To expand further they were the second legion, that was expunged from the imperium's records during the time of the old night.

The homeworld of the legion was a barren place, and the populace of the planet were in constant turmoil. Then a leader emerged from the clan that lived upon the edges of the toxic swamps, and he marched out of the gaseous swamps with his army of the like none of the towns of the planet had seen, There had always been myths and old wives tales about a strange tribe who dwelled in the toxic wastes, who worshiped death itself.

So on the day that the endless tides of armoured knights strode out, the towns of the world saw this as judgment day approaching. And they were right to think this, the tides of Anubis's warrior kept marching. Nothing quelled their pace, and nothing halted the tide. The just keep marching, their blue wytch fires the only thing visible through the fog that seem to follow them where ever they went.

Once the planet had been purged and all offered up to the one truth in the universe, death, they set about turning the planet as a whole into a temple to honour Anubis.

Due to the amount of record lost during the old night, and the legions purging from the records much is not clear about Anubis himself. But many speak of him as a primarch, but one who lost his way.

When the emperor came into contact with the planet (the only name known for the planet now is 'The Old Kingdom'), he brought Anubis into the fold and brought his devout warrior followers into the legions fold.

It is said that the emperor and Anubis were known to have long debate about the universe and its truths, with Anubis never baking down from his ideology that there is only one constant and that is death, and with this death needs to be regarded above everything else and it respected as a way of life. The emperor always disagreed, and there was always friction between the creator and his creation, but the emperor always thought of this as purely debates and there was no more to it.

Over time the legions tactics were regarded as cruel and designed to wreak the maximum amount of death in the slowest way possible. The pinnacle of this was when Anubis released one of his experimental viruses, birthed from the immaterium, onto a planet. The plague caused the populace to slowly become crippled and weak, this occurred over decades, and then the legion would deploy and march over the planet destroying everything that stood in their path. But when the emperor sent emissaries to recall Anubis they got to the planet and no bodies were found, just the dark and heavy fog that followed him everywhere. When the emissaries caught up with the legion at the next planet in the system they witnessed what Anubis and his priests had been working on, and they witnessed the punishment that they wrought on the unsuspecting planet. Titan class drop pods were deployed to the surface, but they did not carry titans. Also the cargo doors blew open on these gargantuan pods, tides of corpses flowed out. But then the corpses started moving, and a wave of endless dead spilled forth and devoured the planet.

With this news the emissaries returned to the throne world to report their horrific findings, and as soon as this information was made aware to the emperor he departed straight for the system where Anubis was wreaking destruction.

When the emperor found the flagship he boarded with his custodes by force and sought out Anubis. What he found eventually lead to the sparks that created the old night and brought the universe into turmoil. He faced Anubis on the bridge of his flagship and the full force of the emperor personal legion of custodes was deployed to bring the legion to heel.

The emperor found that the death priests of Anubis's court had been delving into the forbidden arts of necromancy and as Anubis himself had put it, becoming one with death itself will allow you to conquer it. Even his legion had changed their helms to more resemble their primarchs canine like features, which made him so distinguishable.

The emperor could not comprehend the death and pain the Anubis had wrought unprovoked, and he destroyed him where he stood and banished his soul to the warp as punishment. The legion was slaughtered, but in the massive space battle that occurred the chapel barge that was the home of Anubis's priesthood escaped into the warp with a couple of companies of the legion on board.

From then on the legion and Anubis was purged from the vaults of records, and then old night took hold.

It was rumoured through out the old night that fringe worlds would cease communications with everyone, and when people went to investigate the whole planet was deserted, no bodies, but a heavy fog encompassing the whole planet.

So back to current day there have been sighting from the far edges of known imperium space of canine headed warriors in the fog, just their blue wych-fire shimmering. It would appear that they did become one with death, and Anubis is never dead as his sons march on endlessly and unwavering.
