Kol Saresk Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So essentially at this current moment, there are two factions calling themselves the Knights of Blood. The first is from the 4th Ed C:CSM and features black armor with a red blood dripping paint scheme an has a Juggernaut symbol. The second is the Renegade Chapter from the C:BA and has a completely different color scheme and symbol. Which brings me to my question: Are these two factions related or are they separate entities that happen to have the same name? My personal theory is that when the Chapter was declared Renegade, it continued to battle with the Flaw and some of its members actually went Renegade, and simply kept the name. But what do you, the actual Blood Angels players, think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 There is not enough evidence either way... Its entirely possible that a small traitorous warband who had never even heard of the existence of a chapter of marines call the the Knights of Blood exist and chose that name randomly. Its also possibly that they did know, and chose that name deliberately as a taunt to the loyalist KoB. Its also possible that they are, as you speculate, a true traitorous offshoot of the rest of the (renegade) KoB. Personally, i suspect that they are not the same entity (as in the whole chapter is not the warband seen on C:CSM), though there may well be some relationship somewhere in the past. Maybe the chaos warband is responsible for the actions that finally caused the rest of the chapter to be excomunicated...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I think that they are the same, but that their 4th ed. Chaos depiction is lies spread by the Imperium to demonise and discredit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm speculating GW chose the name intentionally to give some mystique to the renegades, or chose the name without noticing. Much like the 3.5 and 4th renegade warbands who happen to share copypaste designs and paints while having different names and backstories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Our Knights of Blood are not renegade! Just because they have been declared excommunicae doesn't mean they have turned from the Emperor's light. It just means that the Inquisition are a bunch of wimps.
