One of the successor chapters of the Blood Angels from the second founding, the Blood Drinkers are a proud chapter that conceal a dark secret that may yet damn them.
All their parent and sibling chapters, the Blood Drinkers suffer from the twin curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. But unlikes their fellows they have learned to embrace the thrist and make it part of their way of life and traditions. Literally they have gone full vampiric and like vampires drink lots of blood to control their cravings.
Few if any are aware of the feasts where the chapter's marines gather to drink vast amounts of blood to sate their first and the Blood Drinkers go to great lengths to keep their shame secret. Operating out of planet San Guisaga (OK now GeeDubs isn't even trying), they ever battle to master their corrupt flesh and to prove themselves the equal to their brothers in battle.
So I wonder if they have gone pale yet or if they will start sparkling soon...?
They have a special version of the Black Rage. First of all, it's rarer than normal, but not quite to the point that they don't need a Death Company. But more importantly, Black Raging Blood Drinkers have about a 1% chance to relive Captain Holos' big climb up the mountain instead of Sanguinius' battle with Horus. At the end of the climb they meet the Fateweaver; Mr. Weaver gives Holos instructions on how to do the blood feast ritual stuff mentioned above, and then he "tempts" the Black Raging marine with a choice: accept Tzeentch's blessings and damn the Blood Drinkers for eternity, or just re-engage their Black Rage and rot away in the Death Company as the rest of the chapter continues with the Tzeentchian rituals.
