Raptors (Chapter)

This article related to Warhammer 40,000 is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

Raven Guard successors that use actual camoflage, sneaking, and tactics, rather than running at the enemy painted in bright colours.

Made a brief appearance in Fire Warrior and the Imperial Armour Badab War books.

Ironically in Fire Warrior they were portrayed as reckless assholes know for jumping into missions without any real planning. Which started the whole plot and the Ultramarines show to fix there mess and beat them over the head with the codex, fun fact these events take place before the Badab War meaning the Smurf may have in fact turned the Raptors into Reasonable Marines.

Or maybe because at the time they were a background chapter written by two different groups.

Nothing to do with Chaos Raptors.
