This is as Abaddon intends, as he believes that Chaos Space Marines should have the freedom to follow the traditions of their forefathers or defy them as they please. The Black Legion, however, has no overarching culture, being a collection of whatever warbands from whatever Legions pledge their loyalty to Abaddon and paint their armor black. Several in the legion, such as Garviel Loken, disapproved of their secrecy, a suspicion that turned out to be justified when traitor marines started using them to conspire in secret. They were secret societies where the Luna Wolves could associate outside of the chains of command and speak freely without fear of reprisal. The Warrior Lodges were based off the totem-animal cults of the planet Davin, which was conquered by the Luna Wolves and the Word Bearers (who would later create similar societies in other legions as a means of spreading Chaos corruption). The aggressive Abaddon embodied the Choleric temperament, the light-hearted Tarik Torgaddon the Sanguine, the rational Garviel Loken the Phlegmatic, and the morose 'Little' Horus Aximund the Melancholic. They were selected based on their temperaments, each of them supposedly embodying one of the Four Humors, bodily fluids that in ancient times were said to govern the emotions of men. He corrupted half of his brother Primarchs, the majority of the Imperial army and half of the to his side. After seemingly being easily convinced by them, Horus turned traitor. The Heresy After Horus was severely wounded on Davin, he received visions from the Chaos Gods who told him that the Emperor would cast him and his brother Primarchs aside once he attained full God-hood. He renamed his Legion the Sons of Horus, and ordered them to repaint their armour from grey-white to to a green, or maybe green-grey, colour scheme that no one seems to know how to paint properly Forge World paint theirs a teal colour, but there are examples of green-grey, jade, and a Wehrmacht-style feldgrau out there too - and then some older art just takes the lazy approach and makes them straight-up grey. This gave him almost complete control of all the space marine legions and the Imperial Forces. After Horus won the Ullanor Crusade, he was given the title 'Warmaster' by the Emperor. They won many victories and brought many worlds into compliance.
