So I was wondering when the traitor Space marines aren't out fighting their loyelist marines, what do they do in their spare time? Do they hang out, have a few laughs or what? Also how do they react to each other? When I was playing Tau fire warrior a few years ago, I remember their was a mission, where you were in one room, and some word bearers were in the next, I remember one of them saying something like "rejoce brothers we feast tonight".

The Chaos Space Marines spend most of their spare time preparing sacrifices for their god, gearing up for their next battle/raid and basically just being evil. I don't personally know of any fluff references to their recreation but, like loyal marines, it's probably just spent in reflection and preperation. Most of the "maintenance" repairing vehicles, creating new defilers, summoning new daemons etc is done by lesser beings enslave by the Marines, for example the Chirugeon, who function as doctors/surgeons and the Dark Mechanicum, who, although not under the direct control of the Chaos Marines, function as engineers and techies, just as the Mechanincus serves the imperium.

In DoWC there's a reference to the "basilica of torments", so I'd suggest its not all fun and games. :P

But the chaos space marine didn't like the idea of going back to it,

so I'd say that only the best CSMs get to have fun in between wars.

And the Nurgle worshipers.

You can have fun mashing people up with a whopping great chain axe, or you can pray at the chapel place and til some idiot decides to summon you or something in 2000 odd years. Which would you rather?

Actually, the impression I got was that the CSM's were tortured or something...

[Ka Sha Is]

Yeah but they're sadists ain't they? Oh... wait. That ruins my other point.

I thought they'd get to do what loyalists don't, Indulge. Specifically there whims and desires.

I know in "Farseer" by William King when they're on a ship going to towards a planet they spend there time in orgies, on drugs (these are Emperors Children though...).

I featured them feasting, torturing, self mutilating, they've had a lot of spare time in the last millennium to find something constructive to do though, im sure...
