[@ramonvicentevallesterosric7802]

LtCWest they literally stole a huge gun from IG back in Kronus...

[@ramonvicentevallesterosric7802]

Akabans I think back when they made the logo... It was meant to be Ruby Crows... See they draw really bad and when they hired the artist and show the drawing the artist thought the ruby was blood and when the final emblem was submitted for approval to the high command mistakenly dubbed the chapter as blood Ravens instead of the ruby crows...

[@crackedhammer4612]

I love in the dawn of war games how the wargear say that they were gifts from many chapters. But let's be honest...... They stole all that shit

[@SpoopySquid]

They didn't steal, they just borrowed without permission

[@Kareszkoma]

Yes, they borrowed without permission .. FOREVER. *Khaine's pants*

[@mateopesic2062]

No we're just "recovering" our long lost relics

[@TheTrueFeleas]

All those pictures of Space Marines from "other chapters" and from the Thousand Sons Legion, were all in fact Blood Ravens wearing wargear that was "gifted" to them. /sage-nod

Please let the Blood Ravens be able to reach Magnus The Red and be able to lead him back The Emperor's side.

[@Eonwenian]

uf that would be a too nice story. In that case i think Magnus would get an redemption story but die in end

[@doobledeeschmoobledee2211]

They will "acquire" him and the whole Planet of Sorcerers if they have to.

[@j123yay88]

It would be nice since Magnus had intentions to help anyways but since theres no emperor to recite "the prodigal son" up in this bitch he will probs be killed.

[@Kareszkoma]

One day they are going to steal that guy. Tzeench be like: "Where is magnus...?" While the Blood Ravens are laughing, because they "borrowed" more wargear.

[@skrivbordsradikal9792]

[@primetyrant2891]

Just another "acquired" set of armor. They have one set of CUSTODIAN power armor with set of weapons for crying out loud. Surely, both Blood Angels and Flesh Tearers kindly "gifted" those pieces to them ;)

[@coliimusic]

Yes, they "Borrowed" evetything that wasn't nailed down. And then "Repossessed" all the things that were nailed down

[@TEXASUSA45]

who wants their armor back?

[@mateopesic2062]

It's was a blood angel video but we "recovered"it.. For the Blood Ravens.. FOR THE EMPEROR

The most known items they have collected are some Custodian Armor (Then again the TTS custodians could have simply given them the armor), Forge Breaker, and most recently...And Imperial Knight!

Strange that i found my old copy of dawn of war 1 yesterday and installed it to replay the campaign, and today you upload a video on the blood ravens which the campaign is based on.

[@spartana1116]

Magnus will have one heck of a Father’s Day with all the relics the bloodravens stole

[@RevolutionCPT]

This. This is why I get so angry at the majority of Space Marine video games. There are so many things that individual Chapters have. High number of Psykers for the Blood Raven. The Minotaurs with their superior, ancient tech. The Dragon Claws from the Black Dragons... The entire Sons of Antaeus chapter are basically Plague Marines. But what do we always get? Bare bones Space Marines. With a one Librarian. Especially the Blood Ravens, a _chapter Made by Relic_, that was given a massive amount of Pskyer might.... developed the game as Blood Ravens being bare bone marines. But even though there are Chaos Marines who don't have any particular favor of any Daemon prince... No, every game must have Chaos Undivided and they can pick and choose from their favorite powers all the time. Make a game with five chapters/Legions/warbands. Have them be unique instead of re-skins. USE the lore of Warhammer 40k that we actually love instead of just showing us pretty colors.

[@majorapat]

Technically, the Blood Ravens were around before the games, but they hadn't been fleshed out. They were fleshed out for the game, and went from there.

[@comandercarnis]

Actually the sons of antaeus aren't remotely close to plague marines. Rather it's implied that they're chapter may have been founded by death guard loyalist.

Fuck yeah Blood Ravens! Thanks one mind Syndicate! Good video! Can't wait to see more.

[@Ianassa91]

Thousand sons theory is really cool. Always love a random loyalist in the ranks of traitors, like that lone lonar wolf marine. But having the Ravens be descendant from one of the two unknown legions is just as fine too to be honest.

[@antonintresl1761]

Did no one noticed that there are blood angels in the video itself? Not just the thumbnail and the first picture.

[@sheepfly]

The first picture is from the Flesh Tearers

[@antonintresl1761]

Few of them are

Antonín Trešl yeah i wrote that before finishing the video

[@kevlaraformercommunist117]

I know the joke: "Blood ravens coming? Hide all the artifacts!" Its even in Dawn of War 2, a chainsword from blood angels, no evidence of it being given to blood ravens exists.

[@2013Arcturus]

I just started my Blood Ravens army, specifically because of how badass their lore is (and the color scheme makes me think of Rome)

what if one of the two lost Primarchs is connected to this chapter? nothing is known about those two Primarchs, for the records of them have been purged and intentionally erased by the authority unknown nothing is also known about the origins of the Blood Ravens because it is locked away by the inquisitorial seal. what a twist it would be.

[@jasonparrish8670]

So, I get the Space Wolves losing track of their 13th Company when they dived into the Warp galloping after Russ. On the other hand, I find it hard to believe the better part of the Thousand Son's fleet and an entire house remained in the materium, and Magnus just can't seem to even remember they were there. It's also suspect that no one in the entire SW Legion or the accompanying Custodes noticed how light the fleet resistance was.

[@ThatCampingOwl]

Great stuff, thank you for uploading and taking your time explaining it all!

[@kirashinji]

Okay, so I've been watching your videos and I'm totally hooked in the whole 40K universe. Which games should I play as a sort of "entry point"?

[@bogdankoldunenko8430]

Hell I thought I was the only one struck by that madness about Blood Ravens descending from the Thousand sons. Note I have not read all there is on Warhammer (halfway through the Horus Heresy books), but sheer visual likeness and similarity of character. Seriously see some fan art on the pre-heresy Thousand sons and then look at the DoW1 launcher Icon...(pretty much all Blood Ravens in DoW bear those features with the exception of Cyrus)

[@derrabbit7289]

Perhaps Magnus is forefather of the Blood Ravens. With some modifications

[@OliverDemari]

I imagine the reason for the history and lore origins being destroyed is because they are a successor chapter of one of the traitor legions.

[@ramonvicentevallesterosric7802]

Royal and probably their recruitment came from captured master thieves... 😁

[@wendellsawyer4386]

Probably because they stole their own records of their own lore and history.

[@Mandy-og2tb]

How to know a blood raven has enterd your fort 1 you have no armour on and no more gun in your hand 2 your relics are all gone and relicly empty 3 you are now a blood raven how? Think about it how do they have 13 companys they "claimed" other battle brothers.

[@cryingweevil4345]

"Hippity-Hoppity where the fuck is my property?" -Blood Raven Battle Cry

[@achronos178]

am I the only one who thinks Magnus isn't a traitor?

[@Frostblitz20]

He honestly wasnt. it was because of horus that he was backed into a corner to the point it was him and his entire army wiped out or run and join chaos. the god king gave Russ orders to bring him back to terra for questioning for trying to communcate whit him threw the warp but he told Horus to give russ the orders which at the time horus was under the influance of chaos and insted order Russ to kill them all. if Magus could of gotten back to the king in time to deliver the message in person his legion and him would of still been a loyalist legion. and also Magus would prob be on the throne right now insted of the god king as its stated The god king or magus are the only 2 known to be able to use the golden throne whitout killing them.

[@xdas11]

Frostblitz20 so basically unlike the traitor marines they dident have a real choice......

[@Visor3410]

Yeah that is true.... Also if not for his loyalty to the Emperor he could have killed the entire Space Wolves armada in their way to Prospero as Tzeenth suggested it... He also didn't battle Space Wolves in the battle for Prospero untill the very end of it and then killed hundreds of Space Wolves in a blink of an eye. He was the most powerful primarch of them all with his immense psychic gift...

[@Angels510]

Nope. Can't wait for the Space Wolves to get what's coming to them.

[@HaloFTW55]

I feel sorry for him, he turned himself into a Daemon Prince to save the lives of his own men only to have them turned into Rubrics.

[@STEFAN9484]

Do you have a video where it says that the chapter master of thousand sons sended away some space marines far away , and after the horus heresy they reformed into blood ravens?

[@joedoe8100]

The reason the Harlequins had that information was because the Blood Ravens are made from 1 of the lost primarchs that was removed from history for allying with the Eldar. Their high probability of being psychers allowed them to enter a beneficial relationship. The Primarch was removed from history but the space marines live on without knowing the truth lf what happened.

[@ThePraetorianOfTerra]

For all those who have watched the ITEHATTSD Warhammer 40K miniseries, you will understand. Magnus is Red, Gilluman blue, he was a TRATOR, shall we trust him anew?

[@orionspero560]

There are 2 videos I'd like to see one is on 2nd founding blood angels successor chapters and the other is on non 2nd founding successor blood angels chapters. PS I always took them as a successor chapter to the free trader form of the 1000 sons. I think the and founding is the emperor trying to protect them from those who would target them for that ancestry and was in fact a refounding.

[@Visor3410]

Great video guys ;d Got smth about Thousand Sons just as I asked :)

[@lachlanbold8319]

My theory is that the Blood Ravens are loyalists descended from a traitor legion.

[@masterspookums6506]

They are from the Thousand Sons legion

[@themachinegodomnissiah2146]

yes

[@alexfontaine7810]

If I have a good memory, when the brother-captain Davian Thule founded the Kronus's Blood Raven relic he Just destroyed it because he readed a thing that suggest (one more time) that the Blood Ravens descend from a traitor legion.

[@yooanto9465]

Best chapter ever, they need no Primarch to lead them

[@christianyager991]

I really hope that they do some twist like magnus finds out about this chapter and some crazy shit happens. That would be cool. Any ideas one what might happen?

Their home world of Cyrene might be a hint to their lineage. As in Cyrene Valantion. An important figure to the word bearers. Their philosophy seems very close to the word bearers. It would explain the secrecy.
