>Favored of Baradiel

>This fine power armor is said to incorporate several modifications favored by Dark Angels Master Baradiel. How the Blood Ravens artificers would know of these techniques and preferences is unclear.

- Techpriest, what are you doing in the Dark Angels' secret forbidden library with a camera?
- Oh, you know, just... looking around... I was looking for the mess actually, I think I must have turned the wrong way... I'll be leaving now.

>Older even than the Terminator armor it sits within this teleporter is among the very oldest relics of the Blood Ravens chapter. Many question how a device seeming to date back at least to the Great Crusade could be tied to a comparably young chapter.

Personel Teleporters. How low can they go?

I do wonder how much of the engine room of the Litany of Fury has been "Given in an act of kindness" towards the Blood Magpies.

>>13555669

Hell, the Litany of Fury was probably a "gift"

>thievingbastard.jpg

>>13555680
Named after the cursings of the marines they stole it from.

>>13555692

Yes.
Over half of their armory is stolen from other chapters.

>>13555704
And the other half is daemons.

>>13555692

I'm tempted to photoshop Marisa's hat onto that image.

Fucking kleptos.

Blood Ravens are confirmed for heretics anyway

>>13555561
>>13555561

>thievingbastard.jpg

>SNIGGERINGWHORES.JPEG

>>13555720
>>13555704

That's completely unfair.

They stole shit from the Sisters and Inquisition too.

Haha, "Bloody Magpies"

Bloody brilliant nickname if you ask me.

So, who's up for some fan theories about how the Magpies are former traitor legions who "acquired" their relics during the Horus Heresy and just decided to keep them afterwards when they returned back to the Emperor?

>>13555561

Shit, they probably took all my thieving magpies as well.

>>13555608
Personal Teleporters, how *far* can they go?

All the way to the litany of fury, apparently.

>>13555800
Shhht. Blood Ravens don´t steal. They just get copious amounts of "gifts" and "presents". They may occasionally "borrow" items from anyone in a 30´ range, but that´s it.

Oh, and they forge weapons for every other chapter, but no one wants them. Personally I think it´s a scheme to give a history behind all these suddenly appearing relics.

So wait... Space Kender?

>>13555704
And the Custodes. Somehow they got their hands on a suit of custodes armor.

>>13555870
Sort of. Murderous, huge, armored Kender. Who run a racketeering scheme. And have a tendency to bump off Inquisitors and nick their shit.

>>13555812

The reason they don't know how their Primarch is is because their entire chapter is made up of marines that have been stolen or "gifted" from other chapters.

>>13555873

I still cant wrack my brains around that one without chaos being involved.

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Blood_Ravens

The amended 1d4chan article. Tells you all you need to know.

>>13555948
What about the Thunder Hammer of the Black Templar Chapter Master? Which he used on the assualt on Goge Vandire? Which the BT would NEVER EVER give up?

>>13555978
Especially to a chapter full of psykers that named a relic after them for the specific purpose of pissing them off.

I haven´t got a list of all the Wargear, but did anyone find a few more good ones?

I mean, for me the best so far was the Venerable dreadnought appearing out of nowhere.

>>13555720
Did they steal those too?

>>13555800
This despite the fact that they can´t use the jet-pack in any kind of way and have enough flamers to outfit a promethium factory with.


It´s like the 40k version of hoarders. Except it´s with weapons. And holy relics. I bet they have a few hundred finger bones of the Emperor somehwere to.

FUCK YEAH BLOOD NIGGERS, STEALING EVERYTHING

Stole Abbaddon's stereo!
Stole Emprah's bling!
Stole Slannesh's big dick!
But the most audacious act... STEALING NURGLE'S FRIED CHIKKUN

>>13556043
Borrowed. They borrowed them of the corpses of dead CSM. Or from sacrificial altars.
They have Eliphas´s Crozius, you know? He "gave" it to Thule on Kronus.

>These claws were recovered from the body of Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander, the Imperial Guard commander who opposed the Blood Ravens on Kronus. They were to serve as a testament to the honor and courage of the First Kronus Regiment or an indictment of blindly following orders, but instead found themselves back in service.

"Guys! Guys! What kind of loot did that General dude drop?"
"Oh shit! The Grey Knights are looking on! Do something quick!"
"Err... we give praise to the brave Governor's loyalty. To further honour his sacrifice, we feel that it would be best to take the claws back to our Fortress Monastery rather than give them back to the Guard or anything. *Ahem* Excuse us brave Knights."

>>13556066
Jonah is distinguished as the best "borrower" among the chapter, an has been given a different skin colour in recognition of his actions.

If you see a black Blood Raven, start nailing your shit down. Then put it in a safe. Then dump the safe on a remote asteroid.

No guarantees it´ll work, but you´ll have a chance.

This is why Khorne Berserkers dont' get special axes anymore, Blood Niggers jacked them all in a drive by

>>13556113
Then he'll drop-pod into the middle of your house, kick down the door and shout WHERE DA WHITE WIMMIN AT

Blessed Peashooter of Aurelia

This unique lasrifle was loo- recovered from the corpse of a guardsman during the Tyranid invasion of the sub sector. This one has the marking MCCXLIII stating the count of these blessedly intact devices found after the main bulk of the Tyranid invasion was stopped.

>>13556095
The Grey Knights refuse to cooperate with the Blood Ravens since Kronus. Dozens of Nemesis weapons, holy flamers, psycannons and crates and crates of blessed ammunition went missing inside secure bases.

On Kaurava, the sisters started hostilities against the Ravens after Inferno pistols, Immolators and holy bolters started to go missing.

>>13556066
>Stole Abbaddon's arms!
In a joint effort with Creed.

And the mystery was solved.

>>13556148
On a side note, over 70% of the Sisters of Battle are pregnant, naming their children things like Tyrone, Jamal, or Shaniqua. Projected welfare demands are well into the trillions.

>>13556161
Who do you think does all the heavy lifting? Those Baneblades don't get inside Chimeras on their own you know.

>>13556175
The Ravens have not bothered to call. Some speculate that the Kaurava massacre was put in scene to give an excuse for this.

>>13556198
However the nearby planet of Liquorum IV was robbed at gun point, by numerous power armored individuals wearing black skimasks. They took the planet's entire supply of currency, fried chicken, watermelons, and hard liquor.

Wasn't there one bolt pistol that was the result of an exchange between the BRs and BAs? An exchange that the BAs have no records of?

>>13556175

I think I know where those 100 baneblades went too.

You forgot how the Blood Ravens have the REAL Golden Throne onboard the Litany of Fury. That one in the Imperial Place, Guarded by 300 Custodes 24/7, and which tech priests discovered numerous flaws in? Its a fake put in place by the Blood Ravens to cover up their theft while they fled the planet. While we're on the subject, Terra is also a fake.

>>13556234
Ah yes, here it is http://dow2.info/Wargear:Pistol_of_Baal

Blood Raven codex is going to have a special rule in which any model with access to the armory may take any one piece of wargear from any codex for 20 points.

>>13556275
Another one would be: Every Blood Raven on the table top may take one piece of war-gear away from the enemy, including commander war-gear. This applies for all factions.

If facing chaos or other Marines, the opposing faction loses all war-gear automatically and their vehicles are prevented from moving (as their engines have been stolen)

The only reason the plot doesn't advance is that whenever anyone tries to do something meaningful, the Blood Ravens borrow all their shit, so everyone's still around to produce more shit.

>>13555873

Wait they have a suit of custode armour? How?

>>13556323

Dem blood ravens yo

>>13556323
It's a piece of level 26 power armor in Chaos Rising. Really.

>>13556323
Boreale got it as a birthday present.

>>13556323
Super thievery skills. Magic. Warp sourcery. No one knows.

>>13556323

They also nicked a heavy flamer from the Custodes.

>Righteous Inferno, Heavy Flamer: Said to have once wielded by a member of legendary the Adeptes Custodes (the Emperor's personal guard) the purifying flames of this weapon burn with an added intensity. Having served so close to the Emperor this flamer is truly blessed.

>>13556322
You´d think they´d have run out of room to leave that shit by now.

That reminds me of the time I let a Blood Raven's Scout to see my Exitus Rifle... He had a weird accent and didn't look much like a Blood Raven...

...I never got it back...

>>13556385

They actually stole Craftworld Ke'haen, at the time the largest of the craftworlds, back in M36. They welded the Litany of Fury to it and now use it to store their stuff.

>>13556403
It´s probably filled to the brim already. One wonders how large a fleet they have, and how many of their ships are just part of their armory...

>>13556018

can you list / dump em?

GIFTS FOR THE GIFT GOD

RELICS FOR THE RELIC ARMOUR

Is there somewhere I can view all of the wargear that you could pick up for the Blood Raven + the expansion too

BLOOD NIGGAS BE UP IN DIS BITCH YO

>Rane's Last Bequest

>Inquisitor Rane was mortally wounded by a charging carnifex during the Cleansing of Halion Prime, and gave his ancient bolt pistol to Sergeant Obed of the Fourth Company with his dieing breath.

The Ordo Xenos found this explanation of how an Inquisitorial weapon made its way into the Blood Ravens armory troubling, particularly since it was Inquisitor Rane overseeing the investigation.

>>13556469
Afraid not... Best is to download the all wargear mod and check it in-game. Then please, post all the best ones here, or even better, on 1d4chan.

>>13556469

>Armor of Victory

>Its gorget and helm engraved with laurels this Power Armor was awarded to Indrick Boreale while he was a distinguished sergeant of the 3rd company. He put this armor aside when he rose to the rank of captain and it has since been given to sergeants who win seemingly impossible victories.

>Barding of Ultramar

>After the battle of Tarsis Ultra Hive Fleet Leviathan continued to rampage onwards tendrils reaching into star systems far beyond. Ultramarines later fighting a desperate last stand against the hordes were astounded to see a Blood Ravens strike cruiser enter orbit and deploy drop pods. Caught between two forces the alien beasts were defeated. This suit of power armor was "gifted" to the Blood Ravens with blessings and litanies of holy fury against the Tyranids.

>Carapace of Purgation

> This armor bears a small prayer-mark for every Ork killed by its wearers. There are many marks.

>Cuirass of Azariah

>ergeant Karolus's storied campaign on Kronus led to assignment to a veteran Tactical Squad in the Blood Ravens' 7th Company where he wore this armor. When a Thunderhawk crash stranded the squad behind Tau lines they depleted an entire Hunter Cadre before they were safely extracted.

>Argentus´s Fury
>Blood Ravens Sgt. Argentus served alongside the Salamanders Chapter during the second Armageddon War. Their artificers gifted him with this bolter modified to fire deadly Dragonfire bolts.

"Ah, after all this fighting, its good to know I can always count on my reliable bolt... Where´d it go? A note? Hm... *dear Brother Argent. Thank you for gifting us with this glorious bolter. Blood Ravens¨*

>Forged of night-black metal this mighty power sword was once said to be a cousin of the Dark Angel grand master Azrael's legendary Sword of Secrets. Curator Molinias last of the Blood Ravens serfs to promulgate this claim died during the purge of Cyrene.

Azrael lost his side arm/secondary CC weapon to the Ravens.

>Fury of Lemartes

>Named for the legendary chaplain of the Blood Angels chapter this armor channels the mighty warrior's fury. "Choose death alien lest you face Lemartes" is inscribed along the gorget.

The Blood Ravens seriously have enough Terminator armor to equip like 4 companies with it.

>Honour of Terra

>No Blood Raven has set foot on Terra - or even gotten closer to it than Mars - in the chapter's recorded history. Nevertheless the cradle of humanity remains a powerful symbol to the chapter.

Thats what the Blood Ravens want you to think.

>Hauberk of Faith

>Said to glow warmly on certain feast days this power armor was worn by the Blood Raven Adrien when he defended the Abbey of St. Irene against the Black Legion. Suffering terrible wounds Adrien fell into a deathlike state during which the abbey's holy sisters prayed over his body. Adrien arose during the vigil of Sister Claire who would later become canoness of the Order of the Lost Rosetta.

Sounds like the plot to a porno-vid.

More like space gypsies than space niggers.

Regardless, there are almost as many items of "Jessie, Zaeed Massani's shitty old rifle" of old blood raven gear in the armory. I don't think they retire anything so long as it still works.

>Deliverance
>Legend tells of the Raven Guard Primarch Corax leading a rebellion in the claustrophobic mines against the slavers of his barren homeworld. In those cramped spaces even the smallest weapons needed to be able to punch through heavy armor. This pistol attempts to continue this tradition of resourcefulness.


They got Corax´s own bolt pistol. Christ. I mean, it´s impressive, considering how stealthy the Raven Guard tends to be.

>>13556507

wow... there's literally hundreds, thanks

>Gift of Mars

>When Techmarine Martellus returned from his training on Mars he brought a great gift of ornately crafted power armor. Though many in the chapter have tried none have ever persuaded him to tell of how the secretive Techpriests of Mars came to reward the Blood Ravens with such a prize.

Wow... just wow.

"Hey uh.. Ultramarines.

We're just going to borrow your Spiritual Liege for a moment

-Blood Magpies"

>Mercy of Celestine

>As Saint Celestine gifted us with the example of her apotheosis let us gift the galaxy with the example of our enemy's immolation. - benediction of St. Claire upon this weapon.

>>13556593
Imagine, this is all the shit they have to give to their FIFTH company, think of what first company probably has.

They eve stole a Furioso dreadnought´s arms. I won´t be surprised if see parts of Titans showing up sometime soon.

Around Space Niggers
Dey's Armory's gettin Bigger

>Blessed of the Deathwing

>The habit of Blood Raven artificers to name relics in honor of the heroes of other chapters has caused its share of friction with those receiving this honor. The Dark Angels chapter was especially displeased by the naming of this mighty power first - Master Belial of the Deathwing stating "We have blessed no such thing"

What.

>>13556626
The Blood Ravens don´t have an Armory. They have an armory fleet. Dozens of decommissioned traders follow every strike cruiser, carrying all the gear of the marines.

>>13556616

First company is probably rolling around in Terminator armor forged by the Emperor and the Primarchs themselves.

>>13556655

Traitor Kyras must be wearing the Emperor's own Armour at this point.

>>13556655
The armor on Guiliman? Fake. Blood Ravens took it looong ago. Dorn´s armor´s been nicked out of the Phalanx, the Space wolves 13th company is actually looking for Russ´s suit of armor.

>>13556671

Hell the "Veteran" is actually the Emperor himself. He woke up one morning and found out he was stuffed in a linen closet onboard a strike cruiser.

>>13556655
I think they just get the gear they can... "acquire", and you don't take from your battle brothers. Everyone else if fair game though.

You know, looking through both these threads just makes me like the Blood Ravens.

Space Wolves are wanna be vikings that like four legged animals a bit much.

Black Templars are GW touching themselves to their English knight lust.

Dark Angels are Emos that just pout and don't talk to anyone else.

Ultramarines are just... yeah.
But the Blood Ravens?

'We do what we wannnnt.'

Y'know whats funniest about this?

One of the main plot points of DoW2 was that Governor Vandis STOLE from the Blood Ravens. That guy must be the Creed of Thieves.

>>13556711
Did he though? Or was Tarkus simply a master thief in his own right, CLAIMING that the things House Vandis possessed were Blood Raven artifacts?

>>13556655
I can see it now. Retribution, raiding the first company base
Techmarine Martellus: "By my Steve-Blum-vox voice, this is a fully working STC.... and here are three more."

Blood Ravens are The Bloods.
Who are The Crips?

>>13556711
Never steal from the Blood Ravens. Bad idea. They´ll nick your governor post, your palace and your PDF.
And your underpants.

Found another one from the Blood Angels. "Inferno of Baal" Flamer. No one knows where it came from not how they got it. Unsurprising.

>>13556760

>>13556261
>>13556234

Wait, wait. The Deffskulls klan are obsessive looters, right? Does this mean they've accepted Azariah Vidya as their spritial liege, despite the fact though they can ever aspire, they will never be as looty as the Blood Ravens are?

>>13556774
Where do you think they got the idea from?

>>13556760
>>13556773
>Owing to the chapter coloration and naming, many scribes and administrators in the Imperium falsely attribute the Blood Ravens' founding chapter to be the Blood Angels. This is not made any clearer by the honorific names bestowed on some of the Blood Ravens' oldest relics such as this Iron Halo. Some even whisper that these misleading names are intentional misdirection by the Blood Ravens themselves.

It's astonishing that the Blood Angels aren't as pissed off as the Templar, Wolves or Dark Angels.

Kraken Tooth and Judgment of the Khan. Two epic artifacts the Blood Ravens "Borrowed" from the Wolves and White Scars. Poweraxes.

Somwehere, there´s a Master of the Armoury Crying.

>>13556774

Oh lord, so it begins....

Man we need a drawfag in here so bad. Magpies wearing tiny power armour being pests and stealing all the other chapters shiny things.

>Light of Salvation
>When faced with an oncoming traitor battle tank on Tartarus brother Eason instinctively grabbed the nearest weapon and fired. In a shot since hailed as guided by the Emperor himself the plasma charge breached the foul vehicle's armor and incinerated the entire crew.

Probably one of the primarch´s plasma pistols.

>>13556785
>intentional misdirection by the Blood Ravens themselves.

Ragnar: "ALRIGHT! WHICH ONE OF YOU BLOOD FAGGOTS BROKE INTO OUR ARMOURY LAST NIGHT?!"
Angelos: "Uhh... It was them"
Dante: "Wait what?"

>Spiritual Liege...

So far I´ve found about half a dozen poweraxes dedicated or stolen from the Space Wolves. Remarkably, only poweraxes. With the Angels and Templar, it´s pretty much anything, from armours to toothpicks. Wolves though? Only axes.

>The Gauntlets of U#tr### BLOOD RAVENS are two mighty Power Fists with incorporated Bolters that were reclaimed from a fallen Chaos champion slain during the Gamalia Reclusiam Massacre by Ro##u#e ###man AZARIAH VIDYA himself, the Ultr###ri#es ###m#ch BLOOD RAVENS LEADER GUY.

>>13556838
I guess that they've got an... axe to grind with each other.

YYEEEAA-

Whoa wait. Who the fuck stole my extra shades?

>>13556507

There´s at least 10 flamers from the sisters on this list...

>>13556844

>Jaws of the Deep: This lightning claw was pilfer... er, gifted. Yes, gifted by the Carcharodon chapter after the Blood Ravens stood by their side in the Thyrrus Incursion. A mysterious inscription on the side of the weapon states "THE NAME'S SPACE SHARKS AND THAT'S WHAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOU CUNTS".

>>13556774

The Blood Ravens managed to loot lootaboyz. Just to see if it could be done.

An Iron Halo stolen from the Salamanders,
An Iron Halo stolen from the Mechanicus,
Two Iron Halos stolen from the Blood Angels,
An Iron Halo stolen from the Lamenters,

Next we´ll do the Banners! (remember that all these are for a lowly Force Commander)

>Blood Ravens Techmarine Isaak Jordanos once endeavored to visit to the Space Wolves home world of Fenris. Rebuffed by the grim chapter he was still impressed by the sight of their famed "Fang" fortress visible even from orbit. He marveled at the glorious structure and set about to forge a great power axe in honor of both the mighty fortress and the legendary chapter that built it.

^ This is the one that best depicts how the Blood Ravens actually are, I think.

>Malal

>Once one of the Chaos Gods, the Ruinous Powers entombed Malal in a stasis pod and presented him to the Blood Ravens in recognition of their fighting prowess, and as a bribe to keep them away from the Eye of Terror.

>>13556644
>>13556947

The Blood Ravens are clearly weeaboo for the Founding Chapters

>>13556989

They like the Space Wolves, but they troll the Templars. And they particularly enjoy fucking with the Dark Angels since they know about the Fallen.

>Squats

>Once a proud race of technically gifted abhumans, the Squats were thought to have been devoured by a Tyranid Hive Fleet. In fact, the Adeptus Mechanicus presented the Blood Ravens with the entire Squat race, so that the Blood Ravens could maintain their vast quantities of wargear.

>>13556994
>>They like the Space Wolves,

that would be ironic if the Blood raven really are Thousand Son loyalist.

>>13557003
Of Course! It makes perfect sense! Now I know why there are so few meltaguns in the Ravens armory. Squats are holding on to them.

>>13557023

The squats melta off the serial numbers from wargear the Blood Ravens looted.

>Geneseed of the Pure

>After weeks of leaving tearful, pleading messages on Fenrir Longyiff's voxcaster, Isaak Jordanos created this artifact and left it on Longyiff's pillow. Longyiff has since been seeking sanction for an exterminatus on the Blood Ravens.

>Cultist Chan

>A seemingly innocuous adolescent human cultist, this scarred girl seems to carry the blessing of all 4 Chaos Gods, enabling her to survive battles that tear entire armies apart. After wandering into a parked Thunderhawk she has now been claimed by the Blood Ravens, and there is debate among the chapter on whether this confused child could become an asset to the chapter if she were properly consecrated.

>The Killer of Planets

>This massive Battle Barge of the Blood Ravens' fleet is of an apparently unique design and unknown origins. Its main armament is a tremendously powerful energy cannon, which is rumored to have been used in the Exterminatus of Cyrene.

I wish some nice drawfag would make a picture about the Blood Ravens looting the Death Skulls orks....

>>13557079
So you can steal it?

>>13557079
>looting the Death Skulls orks

I read that as "looting the Death Orks skulls" and wondered what a Blood Raven would do with a bunch of ork skulls... The answer being "say they were sacred, of course!"

remember TG's 4 mill get? they stole that from right under our noses

>>13557105
And then the Blood Ravens looted Abbadon´s skull and set it on a pulpit, making it a holy relic for ever.

>>13557105

>what a Blood Raven would do with a bunch of ork skulls

obviously stick candles in them and arrange them in the reclusiam aboard their battle barge, the Terminus Est.

>Pretty Cool Bolter of the Fire Drake

>For unknown reasons Fire Drake Ty'rone of the Salamanders briefly accompanied the Blood Ravens forces during the Exodite Purges of Kading Prime. After one bloody battle the Fire Drake was asked his opinion of this bolter, shrugged, and said 'Yeah, it's pretty cool I guess.'

>>13557105

>Throne of Ork Skulls

>Having ended up with an unusually great amount of Ork skulls following a successful campaign, Blood Raven Assault Marine Shankius had the bright idea of making a throne out of them. When questioned, Brother Shankius reported that he got the idea for building a throne of skulls from "nowhere in particular" and that "he totally wasn't a heretic honest cross [his] heart and blood for the blood god." The Company Chaplain was satisfied with this answer and concluded his investigation; the throne remains a holy relic of the chapter until this day.

>>13557150

>Mat Ward

>This rotund Terran with greasy hair and an Ultramarines tattoo on his right buttock was found aboard the Litany of Fury. When equipped by the Force Commander, the Force Commander becomes invulnerable to damage, and may ally with any other race in order to complete the campaign. At the end of the campaign, the Blood Ravens and their new allies part ways, finding the idea of returning to hostilities distasteful.

>>13557150
It had nothing to do with the voices in his head and all the corrupt gear the Ravens keep lying around. Nor the huge amounts of psykers.

>>13555744
Behold, the Primarch of the Blood Ravens

>>13557260
Hehehehe. I think he needs a bigger bag.

>>13557260

He's like a reverse Santa Claus in power armour

awesome

>>13557079
>I wish some nice drawfag would make a picture about the Blood Ravens looting the Death Skulls orks....
I MADE ONE

Then I got a phone call asking if I was satisfied with my long-distance phone service to Calderis.

I don't even know where Calderis is.

When I got back, my drawing AND my table were gone! The fuck's going on?

>>13557327
Wait, only your table? I suggest you look around... Your house? It´s actually an Illusion. It´s not there. Holy relic. Part of cyrene cleansing. Recovered and put in the reclusiam.

>>13557327

>Icon of Reclamation

>This crude drawing depicts a Blood Raven recovering the Chapter's sacred artifacts from the hands of Ork looters. Among the sacred relics are Waaghboss Gorgutz's boss pole, goggles rumored to have belonged to Killboy of Deff Skwadron, and a looted Leman Russ of unknown origin.

>Table of Artistry

>This plain-looking table is a holy relic of the chapter. It is rumored that sitting at this very table, Gabriel Angelos himself wrote the first draft of his fabled epic poem "Taldeer and Me, What a Couple We'd Be".

Traitors say Blood Ravens suck!

One blood raven visited earth and took some "gifts" from there back to the chapter, the next day the mechanicus mages reported that the throne was damaged beyond their capability to repair.

>>13557298
The Primarch has more than one gift bag

>>13557446
I think "Gift fleet" would be the appropriate term.

To [email protected]
Dear Mr Galgar im a exiled Blood Raven prince you can help me find back my..........

Ok here is the break down of the Blood Ravens "Borrowed" Wargear. Weapons up first.

Arbites: 6 shotguns (Somewhere, a Judge is looking at an empty armory, and crying.)
SoB: 3 flamers, 1 bolter (I guess the sisters don't really know what else to give as a "gift" to someone)
Ultramarines: 1 bolter, 1 sniper rifle
Imperial Fists: 2 Thunder Hammers, 1 Bolt Pistol
Space Wolves: 4 Power Axes
Blood Angels: 1 Flamer, 1 Bolt Pistol, 1 Chain Sword
Dark Angels: 1 Sniper Rifle, 1 Assault Cannon, 1 Heavy Bolter, 2 Power Fists, 1 Plasma Pistol
Flesh Tearers: 1 Chainsword
Salamanders: 1 Missile Launcher, 1 Hvy Flamer, 1 Bolter, 1 Plasma Cannon
Black Templar: 1 Power Fist
Crimson Fists: 2 Power Fists
White Scars: 1 Power Axe
Ad Mech: 1 Plasma Cannon, 1 Power Sword, 1 Power Fist, 1 Missile Launcher
Deathwatch: 1 Heavy Bolter, 1 Plasma Pistol, 1 Chainsword
Inquisition: 1 Bolt Pistol, 1 Plasma Cannon
Custodes!: 1 Heavy Flamer (Jesus Christ)

>>13557505
Ermm, I hate to tell you this, but I don't think the wargear from here:
>>13556507
includes the CR wargear.

>>13557529

Holy shit.....

The Blood Ravens should become the heads of a new branch of the Administratum: The Adeptus Furciferis. (Bonus points if you know Latin)

>>13557529
They really seem to like to take the Dark Angels shit. And spread their most deep secrets around for all the world to see.

>>13557562

That Latin makes entirely too much sense to be a Warhammer name. That is, it's vaguely related to the original.

Seriously, Adeptus Astartes means jack shit.

>> Only death may separate me from my sidearm. -- Attributed to Captain Galen of the Imperial Fists

Wait a minute the Blood Raven killed Captain Galen to get his Weapon?

>>13557529
Note that all these things he's listing are apparently common enough that they can hand them out to a random Force Commander in, I think, the Fifth company.

>>13557580
No. They stole his gun, after which he was forced to commit suicide due to his ill thought out oath.

>>13557580

No. The Blood Ravens bravely fought to his last known position and found him *already* dead and decided to take his weapon and enshrine it as a dedication to his memory.

That is what the records say.

>>The Wolf's Barding The legendary temper of the Space Wolves inspired the name for this suit of power armor after two adepts of the Omnissiah dueled over who would earn the right to name their creation.

They stole it right under the nose of 2 duelling Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus

>>13557613

Isn't the first company entirely librarians?

All of their stuff must come from Grey Knights.

>>13557635
Don´t forget: Venerable Dreadnought shell, Assault cannon and heavy flamer.

>>13557635
I think you're missing some of his items, actually.

oh golly did I lol>>13557394

>>13557630

I think that the second company has a squad made entirely out of Librarians, it was mentioned in one of the Goto DoW novels.

>>13557540

I don't have DoW 2 or Chaos Rising so if you have a list of the Wargear and their descriptions from Chaos Rising post me a link.

>>13557727
Disregard Goto. Ignore, abhor and detest Goto.
Canon is the average librarium consists of 30 Librarians. So it is not out of the question for there to be a full squad of librarians among the Blood Ravens, seeing as they have even more then the average amount of Librarians.

>>13557635

Ok add this to the Ad Mech Column

1x Dreadnaught chassis (Maybe, doesn't actually say its from the Ad Mech, but its named Barding of Mars)

>>13557650

I can't seem to find any dreadnaught claws that belong to another chapter, and I got both the heavy flamers.

I wonder what new stuff BR gonna get in Retribution. Suddenly, Apollo gets a brand new hat, suspiciously like the Inquisitor's missing one.

>>13557788
The venerable dreadnought armor and that super especial assault cannon show up out of nowhere. Presumably, they stole it. And who else then from the Mechanicus?

>>13557809
>Apollo gets a brand new hat

I saw this and thought "top hat", but where in all of 40k would you get a top hat from??

"Claws of the Fell-Handed"
According to legend, these fierce Lightning Claws were once wielded by none other than the great Bjorn the Fell-Handed

"Fist of Dorn"
This great powerfist was once a relic of the Imperial Fists, handed down from Captain to Captain of the First Company

"Raven's Armor"
Raven Guard artificers fold the metal in Terminator Armor so that it is thrice as strong and thrice as light as any other.

>Judgment of the Khan

Jaghatai Khan Primarch of the White Scars chapter led his Space Marines to victory using lightning raids and vicious strikes at the enemy's weak flanks and rear. Inspired by these tales Captain Brocus of the Blood Ravens' 6th Company adopted a similar set of tactics after suffering horrible losses to a burgeoning Ork Waaagh in M39. Brocus adopted this power axe as his personal weapon and named it in honor of the Khan.

Stealin' tactics

>Naaman's Silence

Battling the Orks on Piscina IV at Koth Ridge Dark Angels Sgt. Naaman and his company of Scouts held the advance of the Greenskins in several key encounters. The Orks apparently refused to attack under cover of darkness where they preferred to stay in the relative safety of their camps for fear of Sgt. Naaman and his hunting parties.

Stealin' snipers

>The Blighted Power Armor

After the exterminatus of Cyrene a piece of the planet's crust was forged into the shoulder plate of a suit of power armor. Intended as a reminder that no place is safe and eternal vigilance is needed Blood Ravens instead view wearing this suit as a necessary penance.

Shit, they even stole bits of a planets crust. IS NOTHING SACRED TO THESE MONSTERS?

So for a minute I'm going to assume that GW and/or Relic don't actually want us to believe that the Blood Ravens are the greatest thieves of the Imperium, so what does that leave us with?
Either they're just trying to shoe-horn in as much mention of other chapters as possible for the fanboy factor, or they're trying to imply that these really *are* gifts and the Blood Ravens are the most beloved chapter ever.


That, or they really *are* trying to imply that the ravens are the biggest thieves in the imperium, which would be interesting I guess.

>>13556175
They have also stolen anything and everything from the Sisters. I distinctly recall a Heavy Flamer and (modified) Jump Pack which had both been "gifts" from the Sisters.

>>13557930
They have a holy hammer that belonged to a Black Templar chapter master. The BT hate psykers. Blood Ravens have lots of psykers. They also have a custodes flamer and armor.

It´s unlikely they were `given´ these things. Not even Matt Ward would go that far. Most likely it´s relic not knowing shit about fluff.

Or they really are trying to convey the Blood Ravens as thieving conniving bastards.

I am actually starting to think this is a relic private joke

>>13558008
Who´s to say that it weren´t Relic employees who started this thread? After having grown tired of us "not getting it".

>>13557128
Best in thread

Everyone needs to realize that every marine chapter's shit is like this.

Armor, Bolters, Chainswords, hell even KNIVES are all treasured artifacts that cannot be replaced (or replaced very easily). Everything will have a name, everything will have a story attached to it.

Just like that bolt pistol in that one BT comic. It had a history, and it was just some random bolt pistol. Every piece of marine gear is like that bolt pistol.

>>13557995
>Or they really are trying to convey the Blood Ravens as thieving conniving bastards.
I'd say this. Relic have pretty clearly shown themselves to have a good grasp on the setting (that we took for granted, witness the reaction to Soulstorm's fluff-buggery). I wouldn't be surprised if it's an in-joke that somehow developed from the fact DoW is all based around stealing control points, that ended up as a company wide 'lol blood magpies' thing.

>>13558234
>Everyone needs to realize that every marine chapter's shit is like this.
Nobody's saying marine gear being relics with long histories is uncommon, but when they explicitly mention that a lot of the chapters they've appropriated gear from/named gear after are pissed off then it looks like the BR are doing *something* different.

>>13558234

Most chapters haven't made up about 90% of their armoury out of stuff that used to belong to other chapters/institutions, though.

Most chapters will have "The Kronus Knife of Undying" where some guy stabbed a necron or some shit and the knife was all that was left, or something similar. Most chapters will *not* have a warhammer previously wielded by the chapter master of *another* chapter.

>ITT: Butthurt Ultrasmurfs crying that Blood Ravens are the face of the Space Marines now, not them.

The Blood Ravens are Thousand Sons, The Thousand Sons at one point would have had the vast power to collect relics from all around the galaxy.

The Blood Ravens motto is "Knowledge is Power", the entire point of the Blood Ravens existence is to find lost relics.

Now go back to bed Ultrasmurfs, the Ravens are not Heretics.

>>13558287
Not just that, but again, it's apparently common enough for lowly FC Vanilla Ica of Fifth company to wield and throw around as he pleases.

>>13558324

Vanilla is of the 4th, not the fifth.

Relic canon over Robertson-Goto fluffrape.

>>13558324
"I FOUND IT ON THE BODY OF A DEAD TYRANID! I SWEAR!"

Maybe they just blackmail everyone. They're really good at finding and keeping information, right? They might just collect a shitload of information on other chapters then use it to blackmail/protection racket the shit out of them, demanding gifts.

"Nice hunt for the fallen you've got here, real nice. Shame if something happened to it. Real shame."

>>13558285
>looks like the BR are doing *something* different.

>HUAHUEHUAHUEHUAHUE

>>13558426

"Nice Codex you've got there, very ancient. Lots of details and maneuvrers. Say, that paper's real old, innit. Pretty flammable, I think. You'll want to get that insured, in case anything untoward happens to it."

Blood Ravens probably just roam the galaxy looking for lost artifacts.

Also their armoury of random shit would be pretty big from the days when they were Thousand Sons.

>>13558503

Except that a lot of it seems to be relatively recent, or at least Post Heresy in origin. They sure as hell didnt get that Black Templar Thunderhammer from the 1k sons.

The Ravens are Thousand Sons.

It'll probably be popped in a vidyagame or something, now that GW's realised that they can outsource their storytelling to something a "bit" more mainstream.

The hints toward it have been very heavy lately. Very heavy indeed.

>>13558522
Maybe Ahriman is trying to intervene so they can be very well armed, and then show up and HOORAY, PRIMARCH! Entire chapter is heresy, probably in disguise, so as to obtain more shit.

>>13558503
Have you read the descriptions on here? A lot of their wargear has other chapter´s markings on it, and have very dubious origins. It´s not just random shit they find, over 60% of the items in DoWII came from other chapters.

Including custodes armor. No chapter in the history of forever is given that, and can face heavy, heavy punishment for keeping it.

Face it, BR are stealing bastards.

>>13558522
It is likely since the Blood Ravens search for "knowledge", that they are pretty much Vultures and search the aftermaths of Battlefields and such for relics and artifacts, they probably buy everything in the black market and chase every rumour of a lost relic to the ends of the universe.

So yes, they are essentially thieving bastards.

>>13558533

Would it even matter?

It can't be like no one knows about it. The powers in the Imperium that could declare them renegade or whatever must already know it, not like a chapter can just appear out of nowhere. And the ravens themselves don't seem like the kind of folk who'd go all black templar in an effort to repent.


They'd probably drop that "for the unknown primarch" stuff though. It'd be in pretty bad taste under the circumstances.

>>13558483
"No, no this is silly."

"What's silly?"

"No, the whole premise is silly and it's very badly written. I'm the Spiritual Liege here and I haven't had a funny line yet. So I'm stopping it. "

"You can't do that! "

>>13558601
I suppose you're right in a way. But it'd be nice to see them finally admit it.

I think I've figured out who their Primarch really is.

Huahue Reportu, primarch of the Blood Ravens.

>>13558701
>>13558707
Red costume. Loves to steal things. Gives a good explanation for Cyrus' hair...

>they're just trying to shoe-horn in as much mention of other chapters as possible for the fanboy factor

Come on. You know this is true. Lots of games to this to some degree, although probably not to the extent that I've seen here.

But it's a fun idea.

>>13558707
>>13558466

For the people who don't get this, BR are from Brazil. We all know how people from there act in online games.

But in 40k:

"GIB ME ARTIFACTS. REPORTED HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA HUE HUA"

>>13558483
I don't know what I find more awesome:

Thieveing Blood Ravens that strait up steal shit.

Fanboy Blood Ravens that gotta collect em all!

Lazy Borrowing bastards that keep asking you for 50 bucks even though you just gave em 50 bucks and they never paid you back the last time

...and now, fucking blackmailing mafia blood ravens and their awesome fire insurrance policies reminicent of mid-19th century curruptable fire brigades.

Also, if it hasn't been brought up yet, archive this shit. Let the world know of the Blood Magpies. Just keep a hand on your shiney objects.

Given how this thread turned out, I wouldn't put it past the BR to "recover" something from /tg/ and claim it was a gift to honour our friendship.

Wait, they already nicked Cultist-chan? Shit, they work fast. Still, the rest of you should keep an eye on your belongings.

>>13559809

FUCK MY MINIS! VAAAANNNILLLAAAA!

>Combat Figurines: Once used in tactical level war games by the Terras III PDF, these small models of Adeptus Astrates warriors and Ork mobs were gifted to the Blood Ravens by a thankful planetary populace after the 9th Company conducted a purge of heretical elements from the planets society.

>>13561159
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO PAINT THOSE?

Remember when Nidon was running away from something, holding the Codex Mithrus, repeating over and over "Must protect the relic, must protect the relic."

It was the Blood Ravens chasing him, not the Black Legion.

>>13559462
Nnnno. They're gypsies. A little more eloquent than Brazilians, but not much.

I just realized

Blood Ravens must have at least some pieces of the staff of Tzeentch and that was the plan all along.

>Bolter of His Holy Purgation
This human-sized bolter is covered in golden inscriptions and prayers of faith. It is said that this bolter was given to Cyrus after a joint operation with a Ordo Hereticus strike force containing Battle Sisters from the Order of the Cleansing Flame. The Order fo the Cleansing Flame has no records of this gift, but rumours talk of one particular Battle Sister who was sent in exile for "behavious unconducting a memeber of His most Holy Adepta Sororitas" after the operation was over. When Cyrus was asked about the gift he replied that he had only fond memories of that operation.

>Corona Tempestus

>The product of Forge World Gryphonne IV this ancient artifact has been awarded to several chapters over the millennia. The Salamander held it the longest but surrendered it as part of a ritual tournament before the third Armageddon War.

So apparently, this Crown is such hot shit, people 'gift' this to each other all the time.

>Venerable Dreadnought Caecilius

>This mighty Brother is thought to have fought over 5000 years ago. Now ancient, he is only awakened for the mightiest of battles. Be warned however, his advanced age and machine sleep had caused him to believe he is of the Dark Angels chapter, and not of our own. He is likely to attack you just as he is to kill the foul Xeno.

>>13566633

>stealing a Venerable Dreadnought.

Holy Christ, think of the comedy heist movie you could make out of a enterprising group of young neophytes, determined to earn the Chapter's respect.

"You can't be serious. A DARK ANGELS DREADNOUGHT?"
"Look, there's asleep most of the time, right? How hard could it be?"

>>13566687
I'm not picturing this as part of the Blood Ravens trial of initiation. The final test to become a fullfledge member of the Blood Raven: you have to steal something from an institution of note.

If you survive. Congratulations, you're now a Blood Raven.

>>13566633
"Alright guys, this is some heavy shit we're getting into. We're going to have to bring out Brother Caecilius."

"Uh, Brother? We've just received confirmation that the Company Master of the 3rd Company and his Chaplain is fighting down there."

"...He's painted over right?"

"Yes..."

"In that case... OH WHAT A TRAGEDY BROTHER! These Tech-Magos have ruined the vox of mighty Caecilius. It is with a heavy heart we must send him into combat... without the ability so raise our spirits with his mighty voice."

>>13566687
why did the idea of stealing a Venerable Dread make me think of Weekend At Bernie's?

Honestly, just looking at some of the shit the Blood Ravens have is ridiculous. One set of armors apparently belonged to a nameless Space Marine who fought on Terra during the Heresy, yet the Blood Ravens claim to have only gone as far as Mars, and only that just for the Tech-Marines.

Christ, the shit they steal is ridiculous.

>>13566633
"I Awaken Brothers...this, this is not the Angel of Death."

"No Brother this is the Litany of Fury."

"Martellus, of the Blood Ravens Chapter. There was an unfortunate... incident. On a recent action, your Company was killed down to the last Serf. Even the Battle Barge Angel of Death was destroyed. We came just in time to recover you."

"I...these are not my chapter colors."

"We had to swap out your chassis with our own. You were heavily damaged you see."

>The Cap of the Commissar: a distastefully ornate peaked cap bearing the badge of the Imperial Commisariat. The fabric used to make the cap was taken from the headpieces of Commissars Sebastian Yarrick, Ciaphas Cain, Holt and Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt. The sheer weight of the metalwork adorning the headpiece means that only a power-armoured individual could ever wear it without breaking their neck.

>When informed of the cap's existence, Cain was recorded as shouting 'So THAT'S where my hat went on Braxxus IV! I had to pay twenty Crowns to replace that damn thing' before launching a tirade lasting a full minute insinuating several things about the Blood Ravens and their paternal legitimacy.

Gifts you say? Yeah, we've got those.

The Rosette of the Inquisitor

This simple icon bears the sigil of the Inqusition, and was rumoured to have been given to the Great Father himself as a token of gratitude from a nameless Inquisitor with his dying breath.

The Holy Ordos could not be reached for comment.

>>13567134

In truth the Blood Ravens are just misunderstood, their behavior is caused by excessive politeness, not greed or avarice.

After all what is more awkward than an unwanted gift?
So when the Blood Ravens see something that would make a perfect gift for them they just take it upon themselves to help their comrades to reach the correct decision with a minimum of bad feelings.

Dreadnought jumping legs.
