The Red Thirst Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi all, was just wondering if anyone knows a rough figure on the Blood Angels casualties as a result of Signus Prime? I've read Fear to Tread but cannot recall anything refering to a figure other than the 500 that died to Ka'Banda's axe . I havent yet read Unremembered Empire, but is their some indication as to how many survived?

Augustus Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 In UE. Sang tells the Lion that they are effectively at full strength. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292003-signus-survivors/#findComment-3708711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Thirst Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks Augustus, although im a little perplexed that the daemons on Signus didn't at least kill a few thousand, oh well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292003-signus-survivors/#findComment-3708714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotonic Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well a few thousand spread out amount a whole legion would be still 90%+ effective even for a small legion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292003-signus-survivors/#findComment-3708791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Im pretty sure the BAs are described qs having 300 companies (the obly indication of company size being that 5th company was 500) as well... might be misremembering of course.

Balthamal Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Think it's quoted in there that they have around 110k so even losing 10% would see them at the top end of the 90k mark Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292003-signus-survivors/#findComment-3708930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKnight Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The DA were crusading against the Night Lords for three years & The Lion described them at being at close to or at full strength so I guess those numbers get diluted in a 100K plus legion, especially just during one battle like the BA went through.

Leif Bearclaw Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Of course they're at full strength, Swallow's been writing them and he has previous form for forgetting that his protagonists have suffered attrition. Specifically in Deus Encarmine, where single volleys of enemy fire drop dozens of BAs, when only dozens had survived the previous engagement, and still enough of that task force survive both assaults on the Word Bearers to contest the whole BA civil war plot.

Augustus Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 They're all probably recruiting still. Perhaps even using super quickfast techniques since apparently the Raven Guard don't anymore ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292003-signus-survivors/#findComment-3709324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
