The most diverse of all the Chaos Space Marine Legions are the Black Legion.
Able to field any troop type, it is not uncommon for Black Legion Berzerkers
bearing the Mark of Khorne to march side by side with Black Legion Sorcerers
of Tzeentch under the command of a Chaos Lord with the Mark of Chaos Undivided.

The Lunar Wolves are the only Space Marine Legion to have changed their name, becoming the Sons of Horus and finally the Black Legion.
COMBAT DOCTRINE
The Legion is a flexible fighting force, that can perform well and adapt quickly
to any combat situation. It was trained to respond sharply and decisively
to the tactical orders of its Warmaster and consequently the chain of command
within the Legion was very efficient. This suffered significantly during the
early years of exile when the Legion was leaderless, but Abaddon has done
much to restore discipline, mainly through fear and horrendous violence inflicted
on those that displease him. Horus's favoured doctrine of 'tearing the throat
out of the enemy' by eliminating their high command in a swift strike, remains
a well-used tactic.
