Blood Ravens
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 was 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 Horus Heresy mentioned in the "A Thousand Sons" novel. 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.
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.
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.
