From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Emperor's Children link is an interesting theory; I agree the line in HH4 is intended to hint at it, but it doesn't directly state the rumored connection. Moved the note from the page summary to a "Gene-Seed Origin" to better reflect the source text.

The '''Death Eagles''' are a [[Codex Chapter]] of [[Space Marines]]. They are allegedly thought to be a [[Successor Chapter]] of the [[Raven Guard]]; their exact from an unknown founding date is unknown.{{Fn|1}} However it is rumored that they were originally a band of [[Emperor's Children]] who remained loyal to the [[Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|5}}

==Gene-Seed Origin==
Although the Death Eagles are believed to trace their origins back to the Raven Guard through an indeterminate founding{{Fn|1}}, they bear some similarities to a group of [[Emperor's Children]] active during the [[Horus Heresy]]. The 34th Millennial of the Legion, also known as the Death Eagles, remained loyal to the Imperium during the conflict while retaining the purple and gold colours of their Legion; their ultimate fate is unknown.{{Fn|5}}
