Warband History

In 888.M37, the Emperor's Tarot indicated a Chaos threat from the Goreworlds in the Eye of Terror. The Emperor's Wolves were sent to destabilise the threat. After many solar weeks of searching, their 8^th Company located a twisted hermit, known as the Red Prophet, as he preached to worshippers of Khorne from a pillar of gushing blood. Soaring on their Jump Packs, the 8^th Company carved their way to the Prophet and cut him down amidst the geyser, but all those touched by the blood instantly became devoted to Khorne. The Blood Disciples, as the 8^th Company is now called, have led raids against the Imperial worlds of the Segmentum Obscurus ever since.

Warband's Organisation

Due to the fact that the 8^th Company of the Emperor's Wolves had originally been designated as one of that Chapter's Assault Companies, the Blood Disciples possess an unusually large number of Chaos Raptors, the Chaos Space Marines' equivalent of Assault Marines.

Warband Beliefs

The Blood Disciples believe that they have sinned againt Khorne when they were still the 8^th Company of the Emperor's Wolves. They believe that they have wronged Khorne by killing his Red Prophet, thus, they seek redemption in the eyes of Khorne by destroying and raiding Imperial worlds.
