Fifty Space Marines from the Iron Snakes chapter fight a massive horde of orks. In Brothers of the Snake, one of the wildest moments in what is, basically, a series of over the top moments is the defense of an unnamed town on a backwater world. So how will this end? I don't know.But I'm pretty sure they are a textbook case of mass kleptomania, which could be explained as an unnoticed gene-seed corruption (because when you're checking for thing like growing the wrong number of limbs, a compulsion to steal is going to be a lot less visible). Maybe the White Scars like them, but they only hang out with their successors anyway. This makes further sense when you consider that "Gypsies" is derived from "Egyptian", and the Thousand Sons are Egyptian-themed (although gypsies are actually ethnically Indian). In addition, they are always on the move, implying heavily that they are the Space Gypsies of the Warhammer 40k. In case you haven't noticed thus far: they are named after an intelligent bird known for feasting on the dead, which makes them value the spoils of war more than any other chapter.
Why they do this is a much more obvious matter, and doesn't even need old memes to justify it: they are not an official chapter and must make do with what they find. Seeing as their battle gear includes (and is not limited to) scraps from Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Imperial Fists, Salamanders, Dark Angels, Iron Snakes, Blood Angels, Black Templars, Iron Hands, Grey K-hts, even the Adeptus Custodes and at least one Primarch, the Emperor probably is the only one that could know. How they got away with that is something only the Emperor would know. When you read the flavor text, a good number of them are obtained through vague circumstances or described as "gifts", either implying that they were salvaged from the dead who aren't Blood Ravens or were downright stolen from both loyal and traitor marine chapters and other Imperial organizations. Throughout the Dawn of War II trilogy, the Blood Ravens have numerous opportunities to receive wargear for them to use in battle.
