And in that stillness she vowed to paint herself in the blood of whatever creature (man, woman, or god), had dared disturb Hyberia's millenia of peace.''

** [[TheBerserker the World Eaters legion]] and their Primarch, Angron. During Angron's days amongst humanity, he was well known for personally leading his legion in vicious frontal assaults which obsessively emphasized melee combat; this practice led to his public image fulfilling this trope as one of his more infamous attributes, earning him the epithet [[RedBaron "the Red Angel"]]. With his white and blue-trim armor, he was often told he should just repaint it red, and his legion's colors did eventually change to red and brass. Some in the 40k-verse say they never actually repainted their armor, but just stopped cleaning the blood off of it (smarter characters note that this is disproven by even basic knowledge of chemistry).[[note]]In one novel, a dead Space Marine's corpse was seen by the protagonists in the rain in a pool of blood, and the characters were confused upon seeing the blue-and-white color scheme, as there were no marines using that color scheme in the campaign the story is set in.
