Warhammer 40k Wiki

The Crimson Swords is a little-known Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels Chapter, created during an unknown Founding.

Like many of the younger Successor Chapters of the line of Sanguinius, the Crimson Swords were greatly affected by the twin genetic curses within their blood, known as the Red Thirst and the Black Rage.

Over several standard centuries, the Crimson Swords slowly slipped into blood-mad insanity, edging ever closer to the precipice as their inner darkness gained control.

Like their fellow Scions of Sanguinius, the Knights of Blood, the Crimson Swords have also gone down in infamy for the terrible destruction they wrought against both friends and foes alike.

Their ultimate fate is unknown, but it is generally believed that they were completely wiped out amid unwinnable conflicts of their own creation.
