Background

Blood Drinker Marine (WH40K Rogue Trader)

Strict followers of the Codex Astartes, the Blood Drinkers have blood-drinking rituals and suffer a literal blood-lust, due to a mutation of the chapter's Omophagea gene seed2. Members of the Chapter are described as having a perpetual air of aridity, likely due to the above mutation5.

Notable engagements

  • The cleansing of the Genestealer-infested Space Hulk codenamed Death of Integrity, along with the Novamarines chapter. Terminators of the First Company of both chapters led the assault. A 53:1 kill ratio was achieved. Total annihilation of the infestation was confirmed, and the Hulk was later examined for STC materials.1
  • Took part in Blood Angels Successor Chapter Summit and agreed to donate a portion of its Initiates to help rebuild the depleted Blood Angels Chapter6.

Trivia

The Blood Drinker chapter master Orloc is named for the first fictional Vampire to appear in film, Count Orloc, portrayed by Max Schrek in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens.
