This is what I've managed to get done so far, it's still a work in progress so please be gentle!
Any constructive comments/criticisms welcome.
Knights Of Blood
Blood Angels Successor
Founding, 7th
Home World: none
Colours, Gun metal and dark red
Battle cry, “For death and redemption!”
Chapter Master: Rimmon Damas
High Chaplain: Naberius
Chief Librarian: Andras Stolas
Sanguinary High Priest: Brother Uphir
1st Company: Death Company
Unlike many of their brothers, the Knights Of Blood aspire to join the ranks of the Death Company and see it as a great honour to become as one with their Primarch.
The Death Company are so highly revered that the Chapters veterans have stepped down and awarded the honour of the title of 1st Company to their brothers in the Death Company.
The Death Company are held in such high regard that they are not put to death even when they become a danger to their fellow battle brothers, instead they are placed in stasis until they are needed again. This has caused a great deal of friction between the Knights of Blood and Astorath the Grim as they have openly refused to allow him to perform his sacred duty and grant the fallen peace.
2nd Company: Veteran Company
3rd - 6th Companies: battle Companies
7th- 8th Companies: Tactical Companies
9th- 10th Companies: Assault Companies
The Knights Of Blood have no Devastator or Scout Companies.
Scouts are trained within the 7th to 10th companies.
The Knights of Blood are infamous for their extreme tactics and are seen as savage even by Flesh Tearers standards. They have been at odds with the Inquisition almost since their founding and relations with their founding Legion have often been tense and sometimes openly violent.
They have committed terrible atrocities including the massacres of Cadon, Obsus Prima and Helka II, for which they were finally declared renegade by the High Lords of Terra.
An Inquisitorial strike force was sent to subdue the chapter and to bring Rimmon Damas, the Chapter Master, to Terra to stand trial for his chapters crimes. The strike force was destroyed in an ambush and the Inquisitors flag ship was boarded by the Knights Of Blood.
One year later the inquisitors head was delivered to the High Lords of Terra with a note that simply read “Your request is respectfully declined”.
Since they were declared renegade the Knights Of Blood have remained at the forefront of the battles against the Imperium’s enemies but have continued in their use of extreme and brutal tactics including the Ornsworld massacre where they were held responsible for the deaths of over ninety percent of the population.
Intercepting a distress call the Knights of Blood fleet dispatched a strike force to aid the defenders against reported Chaos attackers. When the strike force arrived they found the attackers to be no more than a small detachment of Traitor Guard, numbering no more than three hundred with minimal heavy support. Disgusted by the Ratlings cowardice against such an insignificant foe they launched a full attack on the unsuspecting Guardsmen.
The Traitors could not hope to survive the frenzied attack, the first and only warning they got was the roar of Storm Ravens as they flew overhead deploying their savage cargo into the heart of the Guardsmen‘s encampment.
Ratling snipers watched the slaughter from a safe distance, terrified by the brutality of the killing they thought that another Chaos force had arrived and opened fire on the Knights of Blood. In the opening salvo six Marines were killed, moments later the Knights of Blood were among the Ratlings.
Their rage now well and truly stoked ,the Knights of Blood went on the rampage, a message was sent to the fleet about the Ratlings treachery and the first company was dispatched to teach the Abhumans a lesson.
Released from stasis, one hundred and twenty Death Company Marines descended on Ornsworld and the single greatest atrocity of the Knights of Blood’s long, brutal history began.
