In the fluff it says the problem is getting worse as more battle brothers fall to the thirst. Mephiston and Lemartes are signs of hope but even Lemartes has still been badly effected by it and is only just in control of his rage.
Living with its threat forces an iron discipline on the angels yet can still benefit them in the heat of battle.
Personally I don't think the fluff focuses enough on the search for a cure. DA fluff focuses on their search for the fallen and salamanders on their search for vulkans artifacts. Yet BA fluff rarely mentions their search for a cure despite how imperitive it obviously is...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6144869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6144869.page GMT The red thirst http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6144879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6144879.page GMT The red thirst

The lamenters didnt find a cure they were created with the sole intention of isolating the black rage and red thirst genes and were created with a substantially less chance to succumb to it. But being a 21st founding chapter they were gifted not with mutations or flaws but with the worst luck ever. Literally losing 75% or more every engagement. After the badad war they were forgiven and sent on a crusade as penance. Nothing else has been heard since]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6146525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6146525.page GMT The red thirst http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6147977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6147977.page GMT The red thirst

Malakim: "Worry not, brother, our gene-seed is of the utmost quality now that the cure has been implemented. Things such as the red thirst and black rage are of no concern to us-"

Random Lamenter 1: "DIE HORUS, YOU TRAITOROUS SLIME!"

Malakim: "...As I was saying, we are in optimal condition to give these xenos a sound trashing, and our crusade is sure to-"

Random Lamenter 2: "WHERE IS THE BLOOD I WAS PROMISED?"

Malakim: "Settle down brother, it will be here soon."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6149379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6149379.page GMT The red thirst http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6149557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6149557.page GMT Re:The red thirst
''The Inquisition and the Administration say we are weak because some of us have given in to the Black Rage - they are fools! The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!''

Sanguinius was a unique primarch who believed everything had a hidden beauty that could be brought out. Outwardly he and his sons have a noble bearing and, for the Blood Angels at least, have passion for things outside of war and death. Baal is home to art galleries and aesthetic finery that they view to be a fundamental part of humanity. Then, on the other hand, the Red Thirst is part of a monstrosity within themselves that at it's fullest extent, the Black Rage, can cause a Blood Angel to be indistinguishable from an insane murderer.

The fact that Sanguinary Priests and Chaplains, respectively, embody each of these dual natures only heightens the cool of the Blood Angels. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6151397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6151397.page GMT The red thirst SM chapters. They are, as Algorithm said, both noble warriors and crazed savages, and they can suddenly change from one to the other in a heartbeat. They are riding the edge of Heresy, as some of their successor chapers have clearly shown that The Red Thirst can go out of control (Knights of Blood for example).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6152242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6152242.page GMT Re:The red thirst http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6152497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557583/6152497.page GMT
