Editing Chaos Raptor (section)

==Overview==
Despite what people might tell you, the [[Night Lords]] are NOT the "Raptor Legion" (Except now, where Night Lord legion traits stack with Raptor morale debuff, bitches!). Though they are creators of Raptor squads and distinctive [[Raptor Storm Armour|Raptor armour]] with clawed feets and large engine intakes, so Night Lord bands often have a large amount of Raptors in their ranks. The relationship is more that between the Word Bearers and Possessed or the Iron Warriors and Obliterators (indeed ''Siege of Castellax'' features IW Raptors) - they are distinctive motifs of the legion, yet not really so abundant as to define the group entirely, and in this case not having much real political power, instead being treated by "normal" marines as little more than beasts. Quite rightly when you consider how they deteriorate into mad killers, even losing the power of speech over time. The Night Lords still eschew the whole Chaos worship thing and only care about material/temporal power, so they probably find the Chaos-crazed Raptors more perverse than anyone else does.

Speaking of [[Raptor Storm Armour|Raptor armour]], it seems GW retconned the old awesome one (with predatory helmet, brutal-looking jump-pack and bird-like fanged legs) for the <S>lame</s> vanilla heresy-era [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour]] with two beer kegs on the back and stupid little blades on the feet. Not like it is [[Daemonette|the]] [[Noise Marines|first]] [[Blood Angels|time]] GW replaces cool model design with derpy one. Still, the newer kit gives you a few valuable things for modellers - chaos [[chainsword]]s that don't look like total ass, sweet-ass horned Maximus helmets and the kitbashers's holy grail in the form of a left-handed [[Plasma Pistol|plasma pistol]] or [[Bolt Pistol|bolt pistol]]. Rarely they could also carry [[Flamer|flamers]] or [[meltagun]]s if they are feeling peckish.
