Bloodstalkers
|
The Bloodstalkers are a World Eaters warband.[1]
History
The Bloodstalkers can trace their origins back to the 89th Reconnaissance Company of the World Eaters, though only a handful of its warriors can remember the time of the Great Crusade. As they always operated far from their legion, they were absent for the Battle of Skalathrax and Kharn's betrayal. As a result, they still operated more or less intact.[1]
Owing to their origins as scouts, the Bloodstalkers operate very differently from other World Eaters warbands. They are patient in their tactics and often score their kills at range. Though far from unwilling to engage at close range with Chainswords and still implanted with the Butcher's Nails, they have little admiration for giving into berserker rage. Those who do fully succumb to the Nails without control are often killed immediately. In imitation of their lord Khulgoz Deadeye, in battle the Bloodstalkers do not target the enemy's head with their long-range weaponry so their skulls may later be presented to Khorne.[1]
They are currently among the World Eaters warbands taking part in their Daemon Primarch Angron's Blood Wave.[1]
