The Blod Rehvens are one of the most mysterious chapters of the spess mahreens, they don't know their original primarch nor their pre-heresy origins (heck none of their archives have any info dating before the age of Apostasy). The Blod Rehvens us the chapter predominantly used in the Dawn of War video game series, why? It's simple really, GW was too damn lazy to give them their own history so they had Relic come up with it. Some speculate that the Blod Rehvens were descendants of a Thousand Sons schism cult who broke away from them during the Horus Heresy, as hinted in the "A Thousand Sons" novel as well as the fact that they have an unusually high number of unusually powerful psykers, to the point that two squads in their first company are composed completely out of librarians (can you imagine two squads of ten libriarians each in terminator armor with storm shields and thunder hammers on the table top, or two squads of ten librarians each in the dawn of war series? It would be horrifically overpowered) and to the point that their Chief Librarian is also their Chapter Master. Since GW is ultimately reluctant to expand their never progressing storyline, we may never know if this is true. It has been rumored by a few GW officer workers that the Blood Ravens will be getting much more focus outside of Dawn of War in the near future, perhaps going so far as getting their own codex.
Just what we need, another Spehss mahreen codex to hog all the attention from GW, might as well start giving each Tyranid Hive Fleet, Ork Klan, Eldar Craftworld, Dark Eldar Kabal, Imperial Guard World, Necron Tombworld/Tombship, Inquisitorial faction, Traitor Legion, Renegade Chapter, and Chaos God their own seperate codex while they're at it. And seeing that they can deploy entire squadrons of Librarians, their army would probably be overpowered as fuck (imagine an space marine army where every single unit was also a librarian without any major price increase) because entire squadrons of HQ units in most cases are something that typically only exists in a player's nightmares.
Due to good captain Indrick Boreale's voice acting, the Blod Rehvens were the origins of the terms: Empra and Spehss mahreens. They were also famous for loosing half their chapter in a single campaign also because of Brother Captain Boreale, most likely because of Vance Motherfucking Stubbs.
The Blod Rehvens also have 2 known mutations in their geneseed. The first one is with their Catalepsean Node, which grants them perfect memory but they can't do R.E.M sleep, or sleeping while being awake. The second one is with their Betcher's Gland, which changes their voice tone every few years. Such an example is Gabriel Angelos who's voice changes in DoWII and it's expansion Chaos Rising.
This is mainly beacuse Blood Ravens have a mutation in their Betcher's Gland that makes their voice change tone every few years, which explains why Gabe's voice changed in Dawn of War II and reverted back in Chaos Rising.
Famous Blod Rehvens
- Captain Gabriel Angelos
