| Soul Drinkers | comment |
The Soul Drinkers are a Warhammer 40,000 chapter of renegade Space Marines, a successor chapter to the Imperial Fists.They are the subject of a series by novels by Ben Counter: Soul Drinker, The Bleeding Chalice, Crimson Tears, Chapter War, Hellforged, and Phalanx, which have been collected into two omnibus editions, Redemption and Annihilation. In the first, they are nearly seduced into the service of Chaos, but reject it. Nevertheless, afterwards, they do not return to the service of the Imperium but forge their own path.Please resist the urge to put examples on this page or link to this page on tropes unless you are citing from 40K novels in which the Soul Drinkers feature. Examples which are specific to rulebooks or other in-universe fluff should go on either the 40K page or in the Space Marines character page.Check out the character sheet. | |

A Father to His Men | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
A Father to His Men: At the climax of Chapter War, Sarpedon tells Eumenes that the position of Chapter Master is not a prize for the proud but a position of responsibility. Then they Duel to the Death. Arguably, Sarpedon qualifies as an Absent Father, in that he never seems to have a clue what's going on in his own chapter. Notable examples include Tellos' turn to Khorne, Eumenes' mutiny, Iktinos's Tzeentch cult, and Daenyathos being still alive. | |

| Soul Drinkers / int_1e12b5b7 | comment |
Lawful Stupid: The inquisitor and his interrogator from the first book should really think about who they're trying to kill. Averted with Thaddeus, although he's killed before his investigations can come to fruition. | |

| Soul Drinkers / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: It is quite violent and probably mutated. This is Warhammer 40,000, what else would it be? Ironically, the Soul Drinkers are arguably the most ethically moral Space Marine chapter (for the most part). | |

Ax-Crazy: Tellos. How crazy? After losing his hands and the damaged nerves being unable to take prosthetics he decides the best idea is jam fan blades into the stumps and run around topless. He later upgrades the fan blades to chainswords. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: The Soul Drinkers' mutations are just one more strike against them in the eyes of everyone else in the Imperium, but some of them actually are beneficial: Tellos' flesh change and increased healing make him almost impossible to kill. Graevus' mutated hand allows him to wield a massive power axe one-handed. Sarpedon's spidery legs give him increased speed, a unique climbing ability, and attack/defense moves that come in very handy at times. Overall they end up saving his life many times over. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Phalanx. Daenyathos' gambit is foiled, Abraxes' daemonic invasion of the Phalanx is defeated, and the Soul Drinkers' loyalty to the Emperor is proven. However, there are massive casualties among the Space Marines, including all the remaining Soul Drinkers except Sarpedon, Luko, Graevus, and Daenyathos. Luko and Graevus enter the Warp rather than submit to Imperial Fist custody, and a grievously-wounded Sarpedon drags Daenyathos with him into the Warp as well. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: About 75% of Bleeding Chalice, including ships redesigned as zombie-plague hypodermic needles and another set up to provide a zombie apocalypse orbit drop. Happened earlier in Soul Drinker. It seems Nurgle loves the "infect-your-enemy-with-a-plague-and-then-resurrect-the-dead-as-semi-demonic-zombies" approach to expansion. | |

Genghis Gambit: Abraxes' invasion of the Phalanx involves daemons of Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Khorne, who don't get along at the best of times. As Abraxes is being sucked back into the Warp in defeat, it's strongly implied that the Chaos Gods have been watching the whole time and are quite displeased at his failure. | |

Alien Geometries: Whenever Abraxes shows up the material world seems to screw itself. Given that he's a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, this is justified. The Necron tomb interior is so unnerving that the Soul Drinkers have a hard time just walking in a straight line - which doesn't help the fact that you're being killed by ghost zombie robots. | |

Shrouded in Myth: The Soulspear. All we know is that it's scarier then any other weapon wielded by a Primarch and coded to Dorn's blood. ... and then it's revealed that it's not coded to Dorn's blood since his geneseed isn't in the Soul Drinkers. | |

At the climax of Chapter War, Sarpedon tells Eumenes that the position of Chapter Master is not a prize for the proud but a position of responsibility. Then they Duel to the Death. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: Turns up a lot in the series, often as a Heroic Sacrifice. Lygris, Sarpedon. Special mention has to go to Librarian Tyrendian in Phalanx who, after being swallowed by a Greater Daemon, overloads himself and self destructs with the force of a small nuke. | |

Un-person | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_d558b013 | comment |
Unperson: After being declared traitors and excommunicated, the Inquisition's deletion order results in the Soul Drinkers being scrubbed from Imperial history, down to the archives on Holy Terra - something which actually hinders the Imperium's efforts to take them down, as all the information that they could have used to hunt them down was destroyed. Ultimately subverted; see Due to the Dead above. | |

Lightning Bruiser | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_db6230b7 | comment |
Lightning Bruiser: The Soul Drinkers as a whole are this even by the standards of usual Space Marine chapters, being specialised in assault-oriented boarding actions and close range firefights. | |

A God Am I: Teturact, who seems to think he's a hybrid of Nurgle and the Emperor. | |

Actively defied by Lord General Xarius in Crimson Tears, who goes out of his way to not spam the men (not pawns) under his command. | |

Didn't See That Coming | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: In Soul Drinker If you don't have a long time interest in the game, you wouldn't get the hint about the Architect of Fate, which is Tzeentch's most oft-quoted title. That nice Chaplain Iktinos? Why does he have a psyker perpetually locked in a box at the bottom of a pool, in a giant space hulk for months on end? To carry out a complex millennia long scheme to cripple the Imperium. | |

Exact Words | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Reinez fights an honor duel over whether or not the captured Soul Drinkers should be allowed to have a defense attorney at their trial. He wins the fight easily, and is told that he lost, as the fight was an honor duel, and since he continued to strike his opponent after he had won, he had forfeited the match for conduct unbecoming an Astartes. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Soul Drinkers / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Even after the Imperium has turned its back upon them, Chaos has corrupted their bodies, and the loss of hundreds of battle brothers, all Soul Drinkers remain loyal until the bitter end. Some to the Emperor, others to their true masters... | |
