thepowerofwar Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I had a random thought that explained a lot. Blood Angels are the Red shirts of 40k. That's why the Sanguinar died in the battle with Hourus and why we have feel no pain so we can take hits for the rest on the empire.

Xenith Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The Red shirt worn by Picard, perhaps. The Iron Hands were most assuredly the redshirts on that away mission to Istvaan V.

Quixus Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Red shirt worn by Picard, perhaps.Isn't the redshirt reference from the old Star Trek with Kirk et. al.? TNG used different uniform colors IIRC. I think in TNG the sacrificial lambs would be the yellow shirts (see Tasha Yar) The Iron Hands wereFerrus Manus was most assuredly the redshirts on that away mission to Istvaan V.

BassWave Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I guess 40k uses the system from Star Trek TNG because imperial fists die in droves. Would also explain why lamenters have terrible luck :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294820-we-are-the-red-shirts/#findComment-3771719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
