This article is about the Chaos jump infantry unit; for the Space Marines chapter, see Raptors (Chapter). |
Raptors are the dedicated jump infantry of the Chaos Space Marines.
Overview
They consider themselves as elite shock troops, although they are very egotistical and their use to strike at the weakest point in an enemy line has given them the concept of preying on the weak, making them vicious hunters. Often the armour of a Raptor is modified with amplifiers and vox casters to emit terrifying sounds used to disorient their enemies, making them easier prey. They always wear their stylised jump packs which are identifiable by their arched intakes and thrusters.4
Raptors sometimes are armed with flamers or meltaguns to aid in different situations. Whatever they are armed with, Raptors descend upon positions and deal death and destruction wherever they land. Many other Chaos forces see them as egotistical and self-indulgent, which often stirs up rivalry. Raptors don't always interact with other members of the warband, giving them a greater air of arrogance. Champions of Chaos still see their merit in combat and some even stoke up rivalry to get rid of the weakest of their force, leaving a more hardened core.4
