The best aspect about the Blood Ravens is that DoW2 and its expansion have established as canon that they have numerous artifacts of other chapters in their armory, including a Custodes armor as well as the weapons of several Primarchs, both loyal and traitor.
Canonically they get it from spoil of war and gift. It's truly gift and they kept a good record of when they get it. It's just the other chapters don't keep record of it.
To be fair to the british museum, have you seen the way some of the countries they orginally took that stuff from treat their own historical artificats. If a blood raven notices an ornate shiny power sword that probably has some cool history behind it and the planetary governor who it belongs to only really uses it as a fancy toy or emperor forbid as kitchen ware for his chef servitors to slice the grox roast, I dare say its better off being 'gifted' to the chapter.

I prefer the oldest fluff, that suggested that the Blood Ravens are the loyalist survivors of one of the lost Legions. Since we had Dark Angels and Blood Angels, why not Ravens and Blood Ravens. But every Space Marine Chapter, live or dead, loyal or traitor has people thinking they are somehow one of lost and forgotten. While in reality like most Chapters are more likely a cast off from the Ultramarines, because of said 'problems.' But took the name 'Blood' and 'Raven' at the insistence of Ultramarines, so as to confuse people and keep the Ultramarines name out of it and again the Blood Raven's 'addictions'.

They are the friends who put in a good word for Trazyn so he could have his pow wow with Cawl during a certain event for a planet that definitely still stands.
They only way that the Adeptus Ministorum could possibly think that the Blood Ravens are an Ultramarine successor chapter is if the Blood Ravens sent them Ultramarine geneseed that they "found" when performing a purity check.
I am extremely glad that you made a blood raven lore video I loved the chapter ever since I first played DOW they are the reason why I started liking Warhammer 40k. Thank you very much. Information Is Power!
Friendly with the mechanicus, like red, love knowledge. Whose records of founding are mysteriously lost. And there's Cawl, tinkering with geneseed the last 10k years, able to furnish them with primaris with no issue. I say they're succesful geneseed hybrids. Thousand Sons alloyed with another legion for stability, perhaps. Iron Hands, maybe? 'A brother betrayed, a brother murdered'. Geneseed chimerism would be more than shameful enough to 'forget'.
Another notable conflict the Blood Ravens fought in was the invasion of the Forge World of Graia by an Ork Waagh and the forces of Chaos, when they sent kill teams to assist the Ultramarines in fending back the advancing Black Legion tide until the (better, but non-canon) Captain of the second company of the Ultramarines, Titus, assaulted the stronghold of Chaos Lord Nemeroth before the traitor's half-ascension to Demon Prince and subsequent destruction.
Stop repeating idiotic 4chan memes and actually read Cato's book, he is one of the best Utramarine characters. 1000x better than that garbage Ventris...
My theory: Blood Ravens are a Grey Knights successor chapter who honours the Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons Legion. One of the Loyalist Thousand Sons became Janus after one of Magnus's shards were implanted in him. So, it's possible the Blood Ravens' gene sire is Janus himself. That might explain as to why there are so many Librarians in the Blood Ravens Chapter and explains their fascination with ancient relics as well as their thirst for knowledge.
Blood Raven Marine: Look what I found abandoned on some distant world with no living populace, a video containing our chapters history, brothers! We shall hold it till it's rightful owners are found.
I saw something about the Blood Ravens being Word Bearers? Due to all the naming around their worlds and systems. Cyrene the dead world being the blind woman from the first hereric and sub sector Aurelia being the name of Lorgar too. Its loose but im missing the parts ive forgotten out. The fact they dont suffer from the flesh change is enough to rule the Thousand Sons out, for me atleast.
I always love your lore Videos! Whenever I have to explain something I always send them to see your videos, keep up the good work! And I would love to read/listen to more stories of the Ordo theoreticus and Remleiz
Dawn of War 2 actually focuses on the 4th company, not the 5th. All the armors in-game are marked with a "IV" on the shoulder, and Davian Thule is/was canonically the captain of the 4th company. The only reason the 5th company gets brought up in some sources is because the guy who wrote the novelization of the games didn't care about any established lore and wrote whatever he wanted.
The game may focus on the 4th company, but the recent Index Astartes article featured in White Dwarf (in addition to the novels) does state that it was the 3rd and 5th companies. Given that the index astartes article was only printed just over a year ago with an official GW publication, this is a clear case of a retcon.
@@40KTheories It's an oversight at best; that article is full of lore inaccuracies and conflicts. It would take several more retcons going all the way back to the Dark Crusade expansion for DoW1 for their claim to maintain any sort of continuity. The article doesn't even maintain internal continuity: "The Fated" 5th company that GW invented is said to be distinct from all other companies in their behavior and the badges of shame they wear, yet none of this is ever present in any DoW-related material (games, books, comics, etc). They also reference the Aurelian Crusades as long passed events despite the fact that the 3rd crusade may not have even happened yet in the current Dark Imperium timeline.
I believe they are descendent from Lorgar and the 17th legion. If you think about it, they worship the emperor with religious zeal, I believe Angelos or the librarian from dow1 has the voice line "I bear his word!" They recruit from the AURELIAN sub sector and main recruiting world was called AURELIA and Angelos' home world was called CYRENE (before he had it blown up for heresy) perhaps named in honour Cyrene Velantion the "blessed lady" and Confessor to the commanders of the 17th LEGION? I don't think its to much a stetch and we know that not all astartes turned traitor with horus. Perhaps they are an emalgum of surviving loyalists from the traitors? Maybe why they seem to have traits from several different and contradicting sources?
I actually like that theory! It also explains why the Word Bearers faced the Blood Ravens in the earlier Dawn of War games. It might also explain why all records of their founding were removed.
Considering that their gene-seed is quite pure, should give us a few hints. But isn’t their motto “knowledge is power, guard it well” similar to one of the original legions motto’s? Well either way it was a great video and glad you spoke about them

BYE *jumps into the closes warp rift*
This lore video is in direct contact to a lot of other blood raven lore vids, that state the geneseed is the catalyst for the recruit getting psychic powers.
Which means we were the only ones who actually bothered to read their Index Astartes article lol Quote: “The Blood Raven geneseed is relatively stable, though the high proportion of psykers has resulted in their geneseed tithe being tested on a more regular basis than most. Thus far there has been little evidence of mutation, *and nothing that points to the geneseed as the source of the Blood Ravens’ disproportionate number of psykers* or the power they exhibit.”
@@40KTheories "The Blood Ravens are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origins and Founding. The origins of the Blood Ravens are shrouded in mystery and are believed to be tied to a dark truth related to the Horus Heresy. This elusive Chapter has always been drawn to the pursuit of knowledge and the acquisition of ancient lore. It produces an unusually large number of Librarians among its ranks as a high proportion of Neophytes develop psychic abilities soon after their implantation with the Blood Ravens’ gene-seed organs" Is this a lie?
How they study before a strike is like the Dark Angels in start of the Crusade before reunification with the Lion when knowledge learning the ways of war was learn or discard info to become stronger. And the gene seed stability and non-existent quirk of it. The dark angels has disowned successors that don't know the parent chapters secrets.
Is this a re-upload? I swear I watch this video before 🤔 regardless I love the blood raven due to dawn of war series, my wish is that GW workshop makes them more stories and hopefully more spotlight in movies, novels and of course in tabletop. Thanks for the video. Ps. Blood Ravens are actually word bearers loyalist! 😉

This lore video is in direct contact to a lot of other blood raven lore vids, that state the geneseed is the catalyst for the recruit getting psychic powers.
Which means we were the only ones who actually bothered to read their Index Astartes article lol
Quote:
“The Blood Raven geneseed is relatively stable, though the high proportion of psykers has resulted in their geneseed tithe being tested on a more regular basis than most. Thus far there has been little evidence of mutation, *and nothing that points to the geneseed as the source of the Blood Ravens’ disproportionate number of psykers* or the power they exhibit.”
@@40KTheories "The Blood Ravens are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origins and Founding. The origins of the Blood Ravens are shrouded in mystery and are believed to be tied to a dark truth related to the Horus Heresy. This elusive Chapter has always been drawn to the pursuit of knowledge and the acquisition of ancient lore. It produces an unusually large number of Librarians among its ranks as a high proportion of Neophytes develop psychic abilities soon after their implantation with the Blood Ravens’ gene-seed organs"
Is this a lie?
How they study before a strike is like the Dark Angels in start of the Crusade before reunification with the Lion when knowledge learning the ways of war was learn or discard info to become stronger. And the gene seed stability and non-existent quirk of it. The dark angels has disowned successors that don't know the parent chapters secrets.
Space Marine Relic: I Exist!
Blood Ravens: **MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!**
whoever voiced the chaplain at 6:40 gave scott's voice a lot more grain and grit to it haha.
The Blood Ravens a.k.a the masters of "BORROWING" things
There's a lot to like about the Blood Ravens
The chapter made for vidya games has their oldest important figure named vidya?! Perfect
Bolt down everything that can be bolted down.. bolt the bolts.. everything else hide em before the magpies get their claws on them.
DAMN IT! MY SANDWICH ISN'T A LOST ARTIFACT!
Wasn't it Eldar of Craftworld Ulthwe for the majority of the Aurelia Crusade? It's been a while since I played Chaos Rising though.
I'm calling this now the blood ravens are from the thousands sons legion
Hail, the Loremaster speaks.
Hippity Hoppity where the FUCK is my property?!
- Some random Blood Raven
Ah so many dead ravens...like endless amounts dying is my childhood
oh im sorry was that heavy bolter *yours*
not anymore
The Sons of Medusa, without the cyberdong fascination, is what they are.
Is this a re-upload? I swear I watch this video before 🤔 regardless I love the blood raven due to dawn of war series, my wish is that GW workshop makes them more stories and hopefully more spotlight in movies, novels and of course in tabletop. Thanks for the video.
Ps. Blood Ravens are actually word bearers loyalist! 😉
Nope.
I've done a video in regards to their genetic heritage, but this video is more of a general overview of the chapter rather than theorycrafting.
@@40KTheories ah guess no wonder why it seemed so familiar, one last thing will you do a short video of blood raven theory that they're possibly a word bearer loyalist instead of thousands sons 😁
Baldermort did a Blood Ravens lore video within the last to days so it seems things have merged.
**breaths in** *THOSE BLOODY MAGPIES*
Blood Raven war cry: mine mine mine mine mine mine for the mine emperor
Wait where'd Remleiz go? I just hear an ethereal voice and I seem to have misplaced my phone....
Likely made for the Dawn of War trilogy because they didn't want Ultrasmurfs. | 1:49 - Not as close as the Iron Hands and their successor chapters. | 12:48 - Isn't it "None shall find us wanting", since the chaos taint was purged? | 15:06 - They've certainly had their conflicts with the Sisters of Battle. | 16:05 - Spiky Tits?!...How do we know that they're not a mix of Blood Angels and Raven Guard, they wouldn't be the first to have chimeric gene-seed.
petty kickass
