Flesh Eaters
|
The Flesh Eaters are a Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels.[3]
Background
The Flesh Eaters were created from the gene-seed of the Blood Angels. The chapter's name refers to their unnatural craving for blood and flesh. This chapter was almost labeled heretic because of their cannibalistic rituals.[Needs Citation]
It is said that they have been "fatally undone by their gene-seed."[3]
