i realise there is alot of hostility about taking lines from books out of context but i've just finished the Age of Darkness short story about the Thousand Sons.


this would just help to fit in a bit with the magnus/blood ravens primarch thing IMHO.



EDIT: [i]i edited again because i wrote blood angels instead of blood ravens, sorry.

Somecallmejack had a good point about if the Imperium don't really have records on them then would they have to send their geneseed back?

In the latest HH.....



i think theres a logic to it, however small

@kanluwen

Don't you think there is even the slightest possibility that the Raven Guard are in fact loyal Thousand Sons? I'm not having a go as I fully accept that you prefer the cold hard facts and that a lot of people do read a lot into a simple turn of phrase.

But a single survivor of loyal thousand sons who already has Raven Symbology on his armour and who is also a psyker who then goes on to recruit other loyal Thousand sons with an aim to find out what happened is a rather believable story IMHO.

I reckon it could be a loose story beginning to appear. It would be better than them being one of the missing legions.

i think they are probably laying the foundations for the Blood Raven origins with the tale in Age of Darkness.



i know theres not much hard facts but it has more to it than some of the theories for many things 40k that are going around.


EDIT: lexicanum also states "Possessed of powerful Librarians, the Blood Ravens are noted for their ability to predict enemy movements " which was the particular aspect of the Thousand sons that the Corvidae excelled at. they also wore a Raven as their symbol as being a member of the Corvidae.
