The Eschaton Lords, as a chapter, are single-mindedly devoted to the finality of their judgement, and as such they resort to Exterminatus more often than most chapters. The marking most well known within the chapter is the "Hand of Death", which is represented as one of the marine's arms being colored entirely white, representing the annihilation of all life on a planet. A marine earns this honored mark upon their participation in an exterminatus action. The left arm signifies that they took part in the act, while the right arm indicates that they have personally given the order.

The Eschaton Lords are a Dark Angels Successor Chapter created during the Second Founding. They are led by Marduk Sedras, a veteran of the Dreadwing and one of the oldest living space marines at the time. In the current era indomitus, he is still one of the oldest living marines, though he now resides within the hull of a leviathan-pattern dreadnought. He still carries his sword, 'the Death of Worlds', having added the fragments of so many broken planets to its blade that it is now large and heavy enough that only a dreadnought could wield it effectively.

The chapter's most well-known marking is the "Hand of Death", which is represented by an astartes' left arm being colored entirely white, representing the annihilation of all life on a planet. A marine earns this honored mark the first time they participate in an exterminatus action.

The Eschaton Lords are known for their devotion to the complete annihilation of their foe in each battle. They swear to let none escape or surrender, and have even chased survivors through the immaterium itself to secure their kill. In service of this goal, they primarily rely on some of the most sinister weapons of the 1st legions vaults, preserved for millennia in the halls of their fortress monastery on Triplex Galatia. Dedicated to finality as they are, they have a penchant for carrying out exterminatus actions, even sometimes unauthorized, or on worlds that may still be saved. This betrayal of the Imperium's people and destruction of its resources is one of the chapter's most closely guarded secrets, kept even from the rest of the Inner Circle.
