Wildfire Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Were the Blood Drinkers listed as 2nd Founding in codexes prior to 5th? I could have sworn they were, but in the latest BA 'dex they're listed as "unknown founding".

Gv0zD Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 In Codex: Space Marines of the 3rd edition there is a chart with all the Legions and their 2nd founding successors. Blood Drinkers are included. The same chart is also contained in C:SM of the 5th ed. However neither Codex: Angels of Death nor Codex: Blood Angels (3rd and 4th ed) state the exact founding of Blood Drinkers.

Vodunius Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Codex Angels of Death explicitly stated that both the Blood Drinkers and Flesh Tearers were not 2nd Founding. The Flesh Tearers retcon was confirmed by their IA article however the only source for the Blood Drinkers being so is the aforementioned chart which has never a matter-of-fact list but merely a list of chapters which are noted as such in a book published a thousand years after the incident (tho there's plenty of people who'll foam at the mouth and ignore you if you try telling them that.. often whilst muttering 'Soul.. Drinkers.. Stab.. Counter..Stab'). Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215896-blood-drinkers-founding/#findComment-2573413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
