Editing Warp Riders (section)

==The Original Six==
The founders are something of a mystery. Originally pure renegades who were just sick and fucking tired of being told what to do after their indoctrination started breaking down after decades of combat, just six bike squad members of one of the more authoritarian chapters. They fragged their sergeant and got the fuck out of the Imperium. Originally they made a pact, that no single one of them had complete authority over his brothers. On the fringe their philosophy attracted like minded traitors and renegades, and it eventually blew up into a big thing. Something between a warband and social experiment, practising individual freedom for the first time in their lives.

One by one the original six finally fell to Chaos when they met the warp-smith that converted their bikes to living daemon-engines.

He told them he could make them ride as fast as the winds of eternity, with space itself a long road, but there was just a little price they had to pay.

And each one fell to a different power, and one of them held on as a pure renegade, but they all started forming their own coterie of followers and groupies. What started out as an experiment in brotherhood turned into a petty squabble of power plays for control of the Warband. And it didn't help that the new people started whispering in their ears and turning brother against brother.

But they made a pact that when they were riding out into combat they;d forget those games, and they'd be brothers in battle together again. And even as they were killed and corrupted and murdered each other, they never broke that pact of brotherhood. 

Because when the Warp Riders ride out, they ride together.
