Editing Gene-seed (section)

==== Blood Angels (IX Legion) ====
{{Main|Blood Angels}}
* Malfunctioning Omophagea implant (Occasional bouts of temporary [[Rip and tear|bloodthirsty, genocidal rage]], otherwise known as the [[Red Thirst]].)
** Occasional bouts of ''permanent'', [[Rip and tear|bloodthirsty, hallucinatory, genocidal rage]], better known as the [[Black Rage]].
* Extreme longevity.
* Can turn even mutants to Astartes, extremely adaptable.
Stable, but flawed. Prior to the [[Horus Heresy]], [[Sanguinius]] discovered that some of his sons were beginning to suffer the [[Red Thirst]], where they would descend into a thirst for blood, whether [[human]] or [[xenos]], in a blind rage. If that wasn't bad enough, as a result of Sanguinius's death at the hands of [[Horus]] imprinting itself on their genetic memory (or something), all Blood Angels and their successors have the [[Black Rage]]; a berserk rage where they [[Derp|believe themselves to be Sanguinius during his final battle]]. Meaning that Fucking Horus quite literally hit Sanguinius so hard that his grandchildren's-grandchildren's-ad-infinitum-children still feel it. Notable due to the age of the flaw it means that it does not register on genetic purity test since, as a first founding legion, any additional geneseed would be compared to an already 'tainted' baseline.

===== Angels Encarmine =====
* See the Blood Angels above, but with the Black Rage turned up to 10

===== Flesh Tearers =====
* See the Blood Angels above, but with the Black Rage turned up to 11.
* Also Red Thirst turned up to 10.

===== Knights of Blood =====
* See the Blood Angels above, but with the Black Rage and Red Thirst turned up to 12 (and the dial snapped off).
** It got so bad that they were declared renegade and not refounded after they sacrificed themselves to save the Flesh Tearers at Baal.

===== Blood Drinkers =====
* Malfunctioning Mucranoid (skin glands atrophy, causing the pores to close. Named the "Weaver" by the Blood Drinkers)
* See the Blood Angels above, but with the Red Thirst turned up to 10. Due to further mutation of the Omophagae implant.
* Black Rage turned down a notch, but this isn't genetic. The entire Chaplaincy is in on a Daemonic pact to reduce its impact.

===== Lamenters =====
* All the problems of Blood Angels (tho it took them longer to show).
* Being overly emotional sad sacks, but this is as justified as it gets because...
* Unlucky as all fucking hell. Best way to describe it is fate itself is just constantly giving them the middle finger. This might have something to do with them coming out of the Cursed 21st Founding.
