wow i know everyone knows this except me... or untill i found out... the blood ravens decended from thousand sons... how i ask if the chapter was exiled and most likely all the gene seed destroyed. but omg skeet skeet...:shok:

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

they were created before the Horus Heresy, and therefore their geneseed can still be considered pure enough to retain. however the original TS geneseed became corrupted and had to be expelled.

 

[LegionOfTheLost]

ohhhh thats right... they just didnt know where they came from.... ohhh ok thank you

 

[chrisman 007]

I thought they were created by THQ for Dawn of War

 

[loyalist42]

they were, but they're talkin' about the BRs' fluff "descendence"...just backstory

 

[Vitaeus]

Would've made sense if they were created by splicing the Blood Angels and Raven Guards' gene seeds, but oh well.

Thay say it was expelled but the mecanicus still hold geneseeds even tho the hight lords aof terra say there not aloud.

 

[Dirge Eterna]

I never understood the whole "corrupted geneseed" thing. Geneseed cannot be corrupted. It is the Emperor's flesh, or at least derived from it. It cannot be corrupted. Only the Marine in which it is implanted. If he (or she, ec. Mountain Angels) becomes corrupted, then the geneseed will slowly subvert it's own genes to become a holder of the corruption, but they can never be corrupted. The Mechanicus were stupid to destroy any of the geneseed of the traitor legions.

[Mad King George]

i would of thought blood angels came from blood ravens because if blood ravens are still pure maybe blood angels are there brothers

 

[Lemartes]

How dare you !

It was our beloves Primarch Sanguinius who fought on the Warmasters Battle Barge and gave his life.

It was our chapter that protected Terra itself.

lol oooh sang sucks le man of russ for the new emperor he is the only primarch that has defeated the emperor in two challenges

 

[Dirge Eterna]

The Emperor is dead. He melted into a pile of ooze about 1000 years after Sanguinius got himself p'wned by Horus. Horus was awesome. He almost killed the Emperor too. If the Emperor didn't weaken Horus by sending thralls like Sanguinius to die on Horus' talon.

It's all about the renegades.

Sanguinius isn't too bad but he is'nt as good as Russ, what? I like wolves

 

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Well it makes sense for the Blood Ravens to be derived in some ways for the Thousand Sons, their large amount of Psykers, devotion to scholarship and research, they have strong ties with the Adeptus Psykana and so on. I really liked the quotes from Ahriman to Brother Rhamah and others from Tempest.

 

[Wrath of Khaine]

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet plot tie-in for THQ and their Blood Ravens, as Thousand Sons rock. And their pre-heresy stuff is just plain sweet balls.

Oh, and the geneseeds were copied from their Primarchs, not from the Emperor. So if a Primarch was inherently corrupt, his seed would also have that malignancy potential.

blood angels new name in 5th ed the temeper tantrume cry babys

 

[The Wraithlord]

I had it figured that the Ravens were from Tson geneseed but where exactly has this been said as fact? I must have missed something...

Well in the book Dawn of War: Tempest, Ahriman pretty much just tells Rhamah (A Blood Ravens libarian) that the Blood Ravens come from the thousand sons, as well as the fact that he is in possession of a book which says/prooves as much, and the original is in the library on Arcadia a Harlequin library-world of law.

 

[Dirge Eterna]

I find it funny that THQ actually contradicted itself. In Tempest, the Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons decendants, in Dark Crusade, they're Word Bearers decendants.
