=== Tropes ===
* [[Back -to -Back Badasses]]: Upon administering the poison to kill a Tyranid Splinter Fleet, the Blood Ravens are surrounded on all sides, and fall back to the temple ruins to hold off the Swarm in a last stand.
* [[The Cavalry]]: After nearly a month's worth of fighting against the Tyranid onslaught, the 3rd Company performs this trope by deep striking into the heart of the swarm at a critical moment, saving the surviving Blood Ravens from annihilation, and providing the soldiers needed to strike a killing blow against the Hive Fleet.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: The Blood Ravens approach to warfare emulates the tactics used by RTS players. Unlike the Space Wolves or Blood Angels' ferocious charges, Blood Ravens focus on analyzing and targeting weak points in enemy lines, applying pressure where needed to break apart far larger forces with minimal casualties. The best example of this comes from Dawn of War 2, where a Combat Patrol sized unit of chapter veterans was able to hold off a sector wide Tyranid invasion by striking at key targets while a relief force was dispatched.
Line 32:
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Their motif is a black raven with a blood red chest. [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Hence the name.]]
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Their records only date back to M37, leaving the Chapter's origins, founding, progenitor legion and Primarch, a mystery.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Several of the characters from Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising do not appear in Retribution. Particularly, Thaddeus and Elena Derosa are absent.
