{{Chaos Space Marine Warbands
==History==
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, encountering 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 '''Blood 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.{{Fn|1}}
