#REDIRECT [[Chaos Raptor]]
'''Raptors''' are [[Chaos Space Marines|Chaos Space Marine]] [[Assault Squad|Assault Marines]]. Or, at least, they were at first. Then [[Games Workshop]] decided that they needed something original about them and made them separate from the Legions, turning them into mercenary warbands, or "cults" who don't worship the [[Chaos|big four]], instead worshipping the [[Malal|"Raptor God"]]. And now they're Chaos Assault Marines again. Games Workshop sure is indecisive.
 
And despite what people might tell you, the [[Night Lords]] are NOT the "Raptor Legion". Though they are creators of Raptor squads and dictinctive Rapror armour with clawed feets and large engine intakes, so Night Lord bands often have laghe ammount of Raptors in their ranks. This is more like Word Bearers and Possessed or Iron Warriors and Obliterators - they are distinctive brand of the legion, yet not really abundant, and not having real political power, being treated by "normal" marines like little more than a beasts.
 
Speaking about Raptor armour, it seems GW retconned old awesome one with predatory helmet, brutal-looking jump-pack and bird-like fanged legs for the lame heresy-era 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.
 
See also [[Warp Talons]], for their [[Skub|mutant daemonic]] [[Warhammer 40,000 6th edition|6th Edition]] elite version.
