Bloody Path Warband Colour Scheme
The Bloody Path is a warband of Chaos Space Marines that splintered from the World Eaters Traitor Legion. Most recently, during the 13th Black Crusade, this warband fought alongside the monstrous Butcherhorde, a conglomeration of multiple World Eaters warbands led by the infamous Khârn the Betrayer, who led them in the slaughter of the Imperial world of Amethal in the Diamor System against the valiant defence of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter.
Warband History
Notable Campaigns
- Diamor Campaign (999.M41) - The Diamor Campaign took place during Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade within the Diamor System. Initially led by the Chaos Lord Kranon the Relentless, his Renegade Chapter, known as the Crimson Slaughter, spearheaded the attack on the Imperial world of Amethal on behalf of Abaddon in order to obtain something the Despoiler desired. Due to the madness and unpredictability of Kranon, the execution of the invasion instead fell upon the Black Legion's Chaos Lord Xorphas. The Bloody Path would later join the monstrous Butcherhorde alliance, comprised of a coalition of multiple World Eaters warbands and led by the infamous Khârn the Betrayer. This Khornate host descended upon Amethal with but a single goal -- to take the heads of the most worthy and mightiest of the heroes of the defending Blood Angels. The resultant slaughter weakened the barrier between the Immaterium and the material realm to such an extent that the Blood Angels were forced to call for aid from the daemon-hunting Grey Knights Chapter.
Warband Appearnce
Warband Colours
The Bloody Path warband primarily wears mahogany (reddish-brown) colours, the colour of dried blood, on their battle-plate trimmed in brass, which denotes their allegiance to the Blood God Khorne. They also wear black gauntlets. Having waged a standard century-long war against the Orks of WAAAGH! Killstomp, the Bloody Path proclaim their victories with tassels the green of Ork flesh.
Warband Badge
The Bloody Path warband's icon is reminiscent of their original Legion icon -- a world being devoured by a monstrous black maw, centred on a field of reddish-orange.
