The Sanguine Sons was a warband of Chaos Space Marines of unknown origin or Founding. Little else is known about this particular warband in official Imperial records. Recently, they took part in the Cholercaust Blood Crusade in the 41st Millennium.
The Sanguine Sons have demonstrated the capacity to create new Chaos Space Marines to increase their numbers. However, they have not perfected the method for the transformation and some of these new Heretic Astartes emerge from the process as corrupted mutants too mentally unstable to become true brothers of the Sanguine Sons. These failures still have a role to play for the warband and often fight besides the Sanguine Sons as they feel no pain and are capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of firepower before being brought low.
