With the upcoming release of the new Chaos Defiler, I wanted to share my thoughts on the new kit, its predecessor, and the Thousand Sons’ relationship to daemon engines. The funny thing is, you get a little desensitised to the age of some of the Games Workshop kits.

The enigmatic origins of the Blood Ravens Chapter have long intrigued Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts. While Games Workshop has not officially confirmed their lineage, compelling evidence suggests a connection to the Thousand Sons Legion. This article examines the parallels and references that support this theory. 1. Armour and Heraldry Both the Blood Ravens and the pre-Heresy Thousand Sons are distinguished by their red power armour, a striking similarity that cannot be ignored
