The Blood Loins are a Space Witches Second Founding Chapter derived from the Blood Angels. Just like the latter, the Blood Loins are descended from the Primadonna Angelina Sanguinius and possess a level of ferocity on the battlefield unparalleled even amongst the Empress's Angels of Death.

Their homeworld, Estalia, is a Renaissance Italy-style Feudal World in Ultima Segmentum with notoriously heavy social stratification. The plebeians, who fend off starvation and murderous bandits on a daily basis, comprise most of the population. The patricians fare little better, for they must constantly devise complex schemes to survive in a poisoned courtly atmosphere where treachery and assassinations are all too common.

It is in this grim, medieval planet where the Blood Loins recruit their psychically-gifted girls. The brutal savagery of the plebeian Witches, combined with the sadistic cunning of their patrician comrades, has earned the Blood Loins a reputation for hitting strategic points with unparalleled precision and cruelty.

The Chapter holds a dubious tradition of issuing white panties to the Neophyte Witches, but forbidding them from ever washing or changing them. Over time, the white panties would be stained red with blood, be it from downed foes or grievous wounds.

Officer Witches, witnessing thousands of battles, have panties that are actually pitch black from centuries of accumulated blood and gore. Should one tragically fall in battle, her dark panties would be preserved as holy relics, supposedly imbuing the fallen Witch's battle spirits to any young Witch who touches or even sniffs them.

An important note regarding the Blood Loins is its unusual lack of the Death Company. This is not because there are no Witches to fill it. Far from being spared from the ravages of the Black Rage, this Chapter actually has a slightly higher rate of affliction than the Founding Chapter.

Instead, a Witch stricken with Black Rage would be attached to a Vanguard Veteran or Assault squad. Her armor would be painted like those of others in the squad, and only her squadmates would know of her condition. Not only does this distribute the full destructive potential of Sanguinius' rage throughout the rank and file, it also makes easier the merciful euthanasia of the Enraged at the end of the battle.

This strange configuration is the brainchild of Battle-Sister Cenni of the First Company. Dubbed “the non-commissioned commander” at her time, this brilliant strategist and passionate warrior successfully proposed this plan after the devastating Genestealer infestation of Estalia, whose cleansing came at the cost of much of the Chapter proper, but surprisingly little of the then-extant Death Company.

Not long after the desperate plan has been put forth, Cenni herself succumbed to the Black Rage, possibly as a defense mechanism against Chaos taint, while taking a World Eaters stronghold. Her fate as of now is uncertain, but Cenni is commemorated by the Blood Loins through retaining her organizational brilliance long after the Chapter had outgrown the need.

So, was it intentional for their power armor to match Neuroi color schemes?

No, the color schemes are based on the Pantaloni Rossi.

Feel free to post an alternative color scheme if you find mine lacking.
