Overview
Originally known as the Swords of Haldroth after their feral recruiting world[2], the Chapter originally believed themselves to be descended from the Ultramarines for a considerable amount of time, until a chance meeting with Astorath the Grim in late M41 revealed the truth behind their origins. With the discovery of their true Founding Chapter, the Carmine Blades had at last found an explanation for the strange symptoms that afflicted them, which they had worked hard to conceal from those around them.[1]
The Carmine Blades are known to be savage but insular warriors.[3] Their new corps of Sanguinary Priests have struggled to curb the worst of the Chapter's excesses.[6]
Notable Engagements
Heraldry
