Ordo Chronos

[Charlo]

Hey guys, is there any decent info on these and which books is it in?

 

Anything in one of the Dark Heresy Supplements for example?

[WarriorFish]

There is little on them, but GW gives some acknowledgement at least: there was a regimental standard on them a while back; information is thin. Perhaps fitting given their role, but not useful if you want to read up on them Dark Heresy Ascension has some stuff on them I gather, but not much.

Thanks bud!

 

I understand now, THEY DO NOT EXIST.

[Cadius]

I think there is mention in one of the Necromunda books.

I found myself curious about this Ordos when I was just bored reading wiki and lore sites. Not much info about it but some info here https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Ordo_Chronos

This is out of my last editions Imperial Agents dex.........

 

Few have heard of the Ordo Chronos, and fewer still have any inkling of its mission, which is to study the effects of Warp travel and the passage of time. It is common knowledge that a vessel occasionally arrives at its destination much later than its Navigator intended, the crew experiencing the passage of many months, whilst centuries pass in the real world. Such events are the subject of many legends, but accepted as one of the risks associated with Warp travel. Far less common, but by no means unheard-of, are those occasions when a vessel has become embroiled in a Warp phenomenon that results in it being expelled into realspace before it actually set out.

The Ordo Chronos are concerned with preventing and combating any anomalies created by such events. Its members are motivated by the concern that travellers appearing in the past might somehow alter the proper flow of events, or otherwise disrupt the Emperor’s intentions. It is hard to gauge their success or failure, partly due to the paradoxical nature of their work, but also because the entire Ordo is said to have disappeared without trace. Of course, this would not be the first time an Inquisitorial Ordo has ‘vanished’ – over the millennia, many have gone quiescent, or simply stepped so deep into the shadows that even their brother Inquisitors cannot find them. Nevertheless, those few who knew of the Ordo Chronos’ existence believe that there is a deeper meaning to its silence, though no two Inquisitors can agree on precisely what that meaning is.

Are there two Ordo Chronus? In Perty's primarch book its an ad mech faction that helps him with a weapon to fight the Hrud's time shifting abilities. 

[Darkwrath121]

Guilliman talks about them (and some conflict in their ranks) to an extent in Dark Imperium.

 

That's the most recent mention in canon of them.

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

I don’t think there are two Ordo Chronos but there are almost certainly puritans and radicals within its ranks, and these would feud against each other as in the other Ordos.

Since the name just means Time Order, I’d be amazed if there wasn’t something going by that name at least once per planet.
