Subject: A question on Renegade Space Marines

Stalwart Space Marine

Could someone please explain to me what Renegade Space Marines are? I always assumed they were just Space Marines who do not serve the Emperor or any of the Chaos gods. Pretty much just mercenaries. Is this correct or do I have it all wrong?

A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

That's pretty much on target. Some serve with Rogue Traders and other things. I believe there is an entire chapter that used to be loyal, but suffered severe casualties and never received reinforcements or something and they became a mercenary chapter.

yes you are correct, but as far as they imperium is concerned they are traitorous and heretics. of course the imperium is a bunch of paranoid, superstitious freaks who condemn anything they don't understand as heresy or spirits.

Anyone read Dead Sky, Black Sun?
Spoilers!
Centered around a ragtag unit of Renegades stranded on the Iron Warriors's homeworld. Kinda interesting to see how years of separation from their chapters had worn down their zealotry and turned (most) into bitter cynics who had little regard left for the Emperor, yet still waged a bloody guerilla war against Chaos.
