The Blood Angels are one of the most revered of all the original Space Marine Legions, though their legacy is tainted by the tragic curse stemming from the death of their beloved Primarch, Sanguinius. As one of the oldest and most successful Chapters, the Blood Angels boast a proud heritage, culture, and aesthetic that diverge from the norm. They take pride in their beauty and martial prowess but are also driven by a savage nature when the heat of battle demands it.
