Bad Monkey Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How do folks, Been a while since iv posted on here, but after a while away I thought id give another DIY a go. What I'm planning on doing is the Kinghts of Blood, who can been seen a scheme only chapter in the chaos dex. So before I jump headlong into it, i thought I might as well throw up my current thoughts on them, and see what you chaps and chappettes think. - Khornate renegades, a fair obvious point going my the name and the jugger icon they have but thought i need to put it up for those that aren't aware - Not blood Angels Successor. After a quick google search most people sem to peg them s such, however just because they have the word blood in there dont make em sons of baal. - Homeplanet was ruled by brutal warlords, based roughly on dark ages lords and other nasty characters in hisotry. - The Lord of the chapter either killed a load of juggers or rides a jugger...or both, carries the honorific gorelord. - MAny records of the chapter lost in a schism that tore the chapter apart. - Thier main aim is to carve out an empire or blood and suffering.... ...Thats pretty much all I got the now, I hope to flesh out these bare bones. Im particulry interested to hear if aybody else has done these guys and how they approached them, however all input is always welcome. P.S, did there not used to be a spell check here?

Guest Mordray Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Sorry to break this too you however the Knights of Blood are a GW recognized BA successor chapter... they even still 'help' their gene-cousins. It's all covered in the new BA codex where a fair amount of new fluff is available about them. iirc they have a hard time controlling their rage and when fighting on the same side as the BA (or a successor) they make sure not to make direct contact though their actions do aid the Imperial war effort. So it would appear that the Knights of Blood are loyalists declared renegade. edit: after a quick check of Lexicanum it seems there is potential room for a warband argument. However, the only mention in the current fifth of them as chaos renegades is in the Imperial guard 5th edition codex pg 25. I looked over the quote and it could still be used to argue for the loyalists declared renegade Knights of Blood as it's rather ambiguous in that it states over 90% of a planet's population was wiped out before the Imperial Guard arrived. It doesn't state what happened after they arrived nor if the marines were still around to be engaged. Hell could well have been that the Knights of Blood had arrived to purge heretics from the planet and defend those still loyal... they have gotten carried away though that seems to be what they do best...

Bad Monkey Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Gutted.com... ahh well, suppose I'll just need to come up with a different name, Hears a few ideas that i have come up with; - Lords of Blood - Blood Lords - Hounds of Blood (sounds like a gore-core rip off of a Kate Bush song) Im leaning towards blood lords, seems to run off the tounge a bit better. No doubt I'll think of more in the next few days. Anyhoo cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213532-knights-of-blood/#findComment-2541247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soddinnutter Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Or you could flesh out the Knights of Blood chapter. So far it's little more than a name that GW has called dibs on.

Bad Monkey Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 I could, but im not overly keen on the links to the BA. Nothing against BA, just feel that the gene-flaw that BA dosn't suit the background that Im going to go for.

skawolf Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Honestly, I would just go with the knights of blood. The BA codex is awesome and the renegade who thinks he is still loyal aspect really is appealing (to me anyway). Thye have a nice color scheme and could be painted up quickly. Also, you could use the rules as mephiston, but represent him as some sort of daemonhost and that would be awesome. If you wanted daemons in your army they can very easily be represented by sang guard, imagian them as deep striking and extremely fast khorne daemons. There are so many oppurtunities for awesome with this theme and I would say go with your initial interest in the knights of blood and come over to the blood angels section and show them off. Edit: The fact that you have a space marine chapter named the thunder cats is awesome in so many ways. *end edit* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213532-knights-of-blood/#findComment-2541347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normish Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Before long, Shinzaren's going to come in and suggest "Planet Rapers" again. So, before he does, let me suggest "Gore Knights".

Shinzaren Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Blast! Beaten to the punch! Might I humbly suggest: "THE PLANET RAPERS!" Seriously though... Think about it. Plus... Chaos... Come on man. It's tailor made just for you... EDIT: This is really just my way of coping with the stress of the last 7,000,000,000 Name threads. EDIT EDIT: Seriously though.... Planet Rapers.

Valkyrion Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The Knights of Blood are a chaos warband, who follow Khorne and have a Juggernaut's head as a chapter icon. Everything in the OP is fair game, as they clearly aren't the Knights of Blood Blood Angels successors, but the Knights of Blood Khorne warband.
