Vermillion Knights

"Fight all battles! Wage all Wars!"

-The mantra of the Vermillion Knights

The Vermillion Knights are a chapter of the 17th Founding. They are the successors of the Blood Angels and have fought countless battles in the Emperor's name. They originally specialized in shock tactics and close quarters melee.

However the suffered a catastrophic defeat that killed over 500 battle-brothers. In shame they colored their armor black and red and cast aside almost all forms of ranged weapons in pentience. After decades of this they got their redemption after they devastated a massive Dark Eldar invasion. In their fury they charged into the Webway after them, and they have not been heard of since.

Unknown to all but their closest allies, the Vermillion Knights were a member of the Brotherhood of Lenimentum.
