  What I love about the Raptors is that most other Chapters are trying to find their way of being a "small legion" the Raptors went  "I get it.  We're a self sustaining Special Forces Regiment."

  I love how every chapter is “this chapter was designed to do this one aspect of war, they are really good at it so naturally the rest of the imperium is suspicious of them.”

  I like the idea that the blue and yellow is only their "parade" paint scheme that they used during the founding of their chapter, or for diplomatic missions. Imperial scholars witnessed it and recorded it, and assumed they also fought like that - which they don't.

  I just love the idea of the Raptors giving other marine chapters like the Black Templars the side-eye for their beliefs.

  I find the Raptors one of the most interesting Space Marine Chapters precisely because they are probably the one that acts the most like a 20th/21st century real life special force instead of Knights Templar in space.

  The real power move is taking the rogue trader scheme and building a table where it functions as cammo

  My take is that the Raptors were chided about their camouflage and the yellow and blue is their reaction. "So you gave up on camouflage?" "No." "Then why the bright colours?" "It helps us to avoid attention when we're in crowds of walking targets... sorry, I mean Ultramarines and Imperial Fists."

  The Raptors were also enemies you had to fight in the Fire Warrior video game released back in 2003. They had kidnapped an Ethereal that you were tasked with rescuing.

  Raptors: Reasonable Marines, often suffering from depression. I can relate.

  I&apos;m still waiting to see what the revised Codex Astertes Guillmann is working on would have to say about the Raptor&apos;s prefered tactics.<br>In my head canon, there is a scribe tasked to compile an entire appendix explaining how using camo and not engaging the enemy in a frontal assault are absolutely viable methods of warfare.
