The blood reapers legion

The blood reapers are the largest and the most powerful of the bloodmarine legions in the federation and after the Divine order the largest and most powerful organization in the entire Universe. They possess hundreds of billions of soldiers compared to tens of billions for other legions and due to them being under the blessing of the high titan Sanguinius they are much more stronger and deadlier than even the normal bloodmarines. Their homeworld and site of fortress bastion. They have been involved in all the wars of the federation and time and time again they have proven their prowess and deadliness as the strongest warriors of God and one of the deadliest enemies of the breaker.

Structure

The blood reapers in the present day follow the usual organisational structure laid down in the Codex Sanguis by Their founder and commander Augustus Geronus Ludwig Nearly a thousand years ago. Ludwig is the main commander of the blood reapers legion and is in charge of the entire legion. Beyond him lie his left and right hands, the seraphims who are able to take emergency command of the entire legion if needed and control around half of the legion. In the present day the seraphims of the blood reapers are lo[Lorann sanguinus meros] and His brother Alexander Sachiel Sanguinius. The seraphims alongside their own sanguinary guard form the personal Sanguniary guard of Ludwig and accompany him into battle as his left and right hands. The high runeseers serves the purpose of the engineering division which oversees the construction of vehicles, new fortresses, maintains the legions technology and also fulfils the role of the R&D department. The iconoclast is the leader of the chaplain corps and is responsible for looking to the spiritual health of the blood reapers and looking for signs of corruption and mutation amongst the genetic code of the legion and tending to them. They also specialise in anti demonic warfare and many chaplains from this legion as well as the other legions ascend tothe sanctifiers legion which specialises in and is solely dedicated to the eradication of demons. The high medicus tends to the physical health of a legion and uses his skills to heal the wounded blood brothers as well as tend to the dead and extract their genetic codes. They are also responsible for augmenting the genetic codes in order to create new generations of bloodmarines and shadowmarines and alongside the chaplains look for signs of demonic mutation in the legion.

Public Agenda

The bloodmarines first and foremost duty is to protect the citizens of the federation and its allies from the harm of demons and other demonic threats. They are also charged with dealing with alien threats that have sided with the demons for power. They not only protect the federations citizens but also the citizens of any other alien civilization that follows the banner of the Alliance.

Assets

The blood reapers are by far the largest and most well equipped soldiers in the entire federation barring the sanctifiers. Out of all the bloodmarine legions they get the most quality equipment and gear as well as vehicles. They have a gigantic space fleet consisting of several hyper carriers, super carriers and hundreds of normal fleet carriers as well as tens of thousands of battleships and hundreds of thousands of cruisers, frigates, heavy corvettes, supply and transport ships. These allow the blood reapers to rapidly move from one front to another so that they can respond to faraway threats in a short amount of time. The larger ships even have production facilities inside them which prodcue military equipment using resources harvested from the planets they campaign upon. This makes the blood reapers one of the few mobile and fully self sufficient forces in space alongside the skeleton lords and sanctifiers legions and a few other fleet based forces. In the ground and air as well the bloodmarines hold complete sway over their enemies. Their air fleet consists of billions of aircraft including ultra heavy bombers, super heavy and light bombers as well. Besides there are thousands of Jorumgandr ultra heavy gunships that hold enough firepower to actually cripple or even destroy some corvettes and light cruisers. The dropship and gunship fleet ensure that the blood reapers can be safely and quickly transported to various theatres of combat and the gunships ensure fire support and rain death upon the enemies of the federation. The land force consists of countless numbers of tanks, AFVs , combat walkers , goliaths and innumerable amounts of logistics vehicles to move supplies and keep the force running. Besides these the legion has thousands of titans on its side including the largest Titan built by the federation, a class XII Titan known as Dies Irae that is the size of Jupiter and contains enough firepower to lay waste to entire star systems. Besides this the legion has its fair share of WMDs including biological, chemical and nuclear weapons as well as more exotic weapons like fusion bombs, drill torpedoes that drill into the core of a planet and explode which fears the planet asunder, neutron bombs, singularity bombs that are actually gigantic black hole containing bombs and the most devastating of them all, void bombs which rip a gigantic hole into reality that sucks everything into the void
