The Black Legion often enlists the support of these insane warriors for their rabid devotion and incredible skill. A Black Legion Commander must remain weary, though, for often his skull could be added to the collection of the Bezerkers. Often Bezerkers of the Blood Company will march with a Black Legion army, eager for blood to spill.

The squad consists of 3 to 20 bezerkers. In addition, the squad may be led by an Aspiring Champion.

Bolt Pistol and Frag grenades

Khorne Bezerkers enjoy the Mark of Khorne and thus are frenzied. Also, they may triple their charge range and they can parry while frenzied.

Bezerkers are subject to rapid fire and frenzy, from their Mark of Khorne.

The Black Legion will often make use of these disgusting but potent warriors. However, they always maintain their distance from these loathsome soldiers.

Boltgun, Plagueknife and Blight Grenades.

Power Armour (3+ save)

Nurgle Plaguemarines bear the Mark of Nurgle, and thus add +1 to their toughness (indicated in the profile above). The Plagueknife is infected with a deadly disease, thus any living opponent wounded by it dies on a roll of 6, no matter how many wounds they have.

Thousand Sons Marines can only be taken as a bodyguard for a Chaos Space Marine Sorcerer. See Codex: Chaos for details.

The Black Legion never make use of Noise Marines, as it was troops of their kind responsible for the humiliating cloning of Horus after the Black Legion's early defeats in the Eye of Terror. The Black Legion will only serve with troops bearing the mark of Slaanesh in the most extreme of circumstances, with the exception that Chaos Space Marine Sorcerers may take a mark of Slaanesh and still serve with the Black Legion.
