The '''Blood Disciples'' are a warband of [[Chaos Space Marines]].
==History==
Originally the 8th company of the [[Emperor's Wolves]] [[chapter]]. In 888.[[M37]], the [[Emperor's Tarot]] indicated a great [[Chaos]] threat from the worlds of the [[Eye of Terror]]. The 8th Company of the [[Emperor's Wolves]] was dispatched to deal with the threat, encounting a twisted hermit known as the [[Red Prophet]]. Slaying the heretical preacher, all those touched by his blood instantly became devoted to [[Khorne]]. Eventually the entire chapter was exposed and they renamed themselves the '''Disciples of Blood'''.{{Fn|2}}
Decades later, they returned to realspace dedicated to the powers of [[Chaos]]. Because of the warband's history as a designated assault company, The Blood Disciples are noted for having a large number of [[Chaos Raptor]]s.<sup>1</sup>
