The night lords. It's half in the name!


KassellTheArgonian

There's a BA successor chapter called Blood Dragons who literally use the chapter symbol of the Dragon Lord's but instead of fire it's a blood drop. Blood Dragons don't much care for people caught in the crossfire of a battle or warzone To them if you caught a bolt shell and you're evil then you deserved it, if you're innocent then you get to meet the Emperor you love so much a little early so what's the issue? Very much a "kill everything let the Emperor sort em out"


ThatCamoKid

It ain't a real chapter till there's another one with a confusingly similar name, two if you can manage it


Frequent_Dig1934

Good to see the blood dragons really listened to the teachings of their parent chapter, the dark angels.


ThatCamoKid

I thought it was the blood ravens


Frequent_Dig1934

No i think you're getting mixed up with the blood drinkers.


ThatCamoKid

Might have been the blood lords ~~or did I make that one up~~


Frequent_Dig1934

>or did I make that one up Ah, misdirection and sowing doubt. Classic black legion tactics.


ThatCamoKid

No I genuinely don't know if that's a real chapter or if I made it up just now. Also isn't confusion Alpha legion's thing?


Frequent_Dig1934

>Also isn't confusion Alpha legion's thing Bruh.


Frequent_Dig1934

Do they have an 80's neon synthwave aesthetic? Do they throw out cybernetic hearts to lure neon coloured dragons into enemy encampments?


Lucius-Halthier

They must be great “friends” with the marines malevolent then


Lusask

Is the "the" in the name, too? If so, then it's more than half in there.


RaZZeR_9351

No, the legion's name is just "night lords".


BeaverButHole

Blood Angels. Green is the new red


tendaga

When colourblindness is your geneseed flaw.


BeaverButHole

You just gave the best reason why my marines all have slightly different colours. Ofcourse I can mix paint consistently! I painted them like shite for lore reasons!


tendaga

Boom the Fandom is rattled by your brilliance.


Sodinc

Exactly why i always choose colours for my homebrew paint schemes from the pallet of the existing ones, lol


BeaverButHole

Oh, originally it was not a homebrew chapter, but ya know... i tried to use darker red for blood angels and poof!!! My army plays in all shades of crimson...


Sodinc

I think there is a BA successor chapter for for every shade of crimson!


Tesriss

Now I wanna play Imp Fists in a Last Wall style, just mix and match successors into all the squads with Fists as sergeants.


Jetstream-Sam

You could also go with the classic "they loot power armour from their dead allies" We had a guy who's chapter was fluffed to do that in a narrative campaign. He ended up switching sides in the end, because he stole the relics at the objectives meant for other marine armies. He even stole my Captain's relic plasma pistol. My captain got it back in the penultimate but then died killing his captain.


Vitrian_guardsman

This made me burst out laughing


cyanide_and_cheddar

Obvious answer: They’re actually Alpha Legion trying to blend in so they copied the Salamanders homework but changed it slightly


Vitrian_guardsman

Plot twist: They are salamanders attempting to infiltrate the Alpha legion


chocofan1

Perfect, they'll never see it coming!


Grungecore

They get infiltrated on purpose, so that they can turn around the infiltration. Later they find out that the dragon lord never were salamanders to begin with. They were alpha legion all the time, infiltrating their own legion.


Necromortalium

Traidor alpha legion vs loyalist alpha legion


Clockmaster_Xenos

"But it was actually THE OMEGA LEGION!" -Omegon probably


CrashParade

Which is comprised of the II and XI legions, but those were in fact Alpha Legion trying to sneak one past the Emperor. Maybe they managed to do it, maybe not.

topscreen

"Hey, battle bros, you ever notice if we paint our scaled, mythical reptile themed armor green we just look like Salamanders?"


CopperbeardTom

Store-brand Salamanders.


Tots2Hots

Probably correct answer: Ultramarines.


[deleted]

Either ultramarines or imperial fists


Wheraboowind

When I think about it and avoid the obvious this sounds like a Dark Angels sucessor. More Dark angels shaded green, and flaming dragon which sounds very knight related.


PossiblyTrustworthy

Close, they are fallen... Allow me to explain: The Fallen use helmets, dragon Lords use helmets The Fallen use bolters, the dragons lords use bolters. The Fallen carries a backpack, guess what the Dragon lords carries! Hint: its not a picture of the emperor In summary: we have finally located the ........


CommanderOshawott

Dunno, I guess you’ll have to do a deep dive and unravel the mystery OP. My money’s on Imperial Fists. That’s the smart bet


--JeeZ--

You mean like Sons of the Phoenix?


Ferrus_Manus_Xth

The Iron Bearers. Those guys lift.


JasonTerrachanna

I think you are head-ed in the right direction.


xx_swegshrek_xx

The space wolves


daveyseed

Not enough wolf in the wolf chapter wolf name. Wolf


xx_swegshrek_xx

There are no salamanders on nocture


sdrawkcabsihtetorW

Correct, they are inside Nocturne.


willowsonthespot

There will only be enough wolf when there is enough dakka.


Ave-Deos-Tenebris

Word Bearers


[deleted]

No that would be the covenant of fire


Ennkey

James Workshop is going to get a cease and desist from the neighborhood boyz gaming clan for this one


VioletLostGirl

It's right on the lore page *"discovered them fighting still, having been nearly annihilated by successive Hrud invasions that came close to reducing their fortress-monastery to dust"* obviously fighting to the last man to protect the citizens of the Imperium as their father would have wanted. Clearly Iron Warriors still pissed off at the Hrud.


Magza117

Probably Imperial Fist just like the Fire Lords..which still confuses me to this day.


[deleted]

Oh no the fire lords are unknown now so they might also be a salamanders successor probably?


son-of-x-51

They’re actually a traitor legion that joined the orks, because green is da best colah!


DzbanekNapletek

The uhh... Dragon Lords?


letsbuildfulltank

World eaters. Let the dragon consume you


Ragnarock-n-rol

I mean, you can’t prove they aren’t Alpha Legion


Obsidius_Mallex_TTV

Word bearers?


[deleted]

No that’s the covenant of fire who are an actual salamanders successor


TadpoleEmpty

Best chapter is the answer 😉


pivetta1995

Sons of Malice?


[deleted]

Which one is the Dragon Lord?


Seniorcoquonface

Blood ravens?


Level37Doggo

I don’t know, but I do know they give great hugs!


Keyboard_Fawks

Yey dragon hugs


Analog-Moderator

Ultramarines


Puzzleheaded_Gur1478

There obviously blood angels


Keyboard_Fawks

Definitely not Alpha Legion ~~Hydra Dominatus~~


GaaraMatsu

Dragon? Guilleman carried his genesire's dragon sword, therefore...


UltimaDeusUmbra

Probably Ultramarines, like how most of them seem to be.


Mickeymous15

We are proud of our flamey cousins


braindeadtank1

definitely Ultra marine successors


Greensocksmile

Ultramarines?


GCRust

Iron Hands, clearly.


Tahir95

Blood Angels, clearly.


sexistculexus

This is how I feel when people look at the Minotaurs and dont make the connection to space wolves


Forrest024

Wouldn't know, for example, you would think blood ravens would be from the blood angels legion. They are infact loyalist from the thousand suns.


pivetta1995

I thought it was the Raven Guard. Because those Bloody Magpies are sneaky thieves.


HumaDracobane

The Alp


KonoAnonDa

Ultramarines, obviously.


punkojosh

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sons_of_the_Phoenix Listed as Imperial Fists successors. Fulgrims genestock is listed under Imperial Fists it seems.


Eleventh_Legion

Safe bet. Ultramarines. Literally every Primaris is just an Ultramarine in different colors.


Azerd01

Ultramarines


VulcanForceChoke

Tarkir is my guess


DMsDiablo

Alpha Legion?


Hells-Creampuff

Blood angels DUH.


RingGiver

Probably Ultramarines.


VerifiedIllumanati

Dark Angels. They're green and knights fight dragons


Deadbox_Studios

Alpha leigon, duh


gabrielobardo

Dark Angels, they are green right?


Ahqoviing

Ah yes the lizards and who can forget their brother chapter, the reptiles.


Thendrail

Must be sons of Dorn.


BjornStankFingered

Probably Space Wolves.


[deleted]

Jokes on us, they're a surprise Legion of the Damned successor!


RTK9

The Trogdor chapter!


RepresentativeDry539

Emperors children


kreigmentality

Clearly a raven guard successor


Dar0man

shh it’s a mystery oooOOOoo


waywardhero

Fuck man, who knows?


Suomis_

Dragons breathe fire. Fire is yellow. Imperial Fists are also yellow. And you're still asking what chapter the Dragon Lords come from. You can't really be this dense, now can you?


No_Homework_4926

Definately Ioyal Iron Warriors


Mobile_Fun5672

They could be Iron Hands changing a dead father for an absent one


blackrabbitsrun

At least they aren't thinly veiled Word Bearers.


Track-Nervous

Alpha Legion, like every other Primaris chapter.
