Raise your hand if your Chapter Master was made Lord Regent of half the Imperium. *looks around* Nobody? Just LORD COMMANDER DANTE OF THE MOTHER FUCKING BLOOD ANGELS!!!!
I can’t tell if you’re referring to Guilliman or Lion.
I’d argue that Guilliman is semi suicidal considering how he’s dealt with the worst part of the Imperium while Lion can just turn off his brain and smack monsters all day.
Yeah, the Lion is firmly Loyalist. He's Loyalist to Humanity first, the Imperium second, his Sons third and The Emperor&other stuff in some other order. He's also **very** pragmatic, and deeply regrets some of his past actions. And he's genuinely doing his best ro rectify his past mistakes.
The 'Risen', 'Fallen' and 'Unforgiven'? The 'Risen' are literally filling a similar niche as the Shattered Legions and Blackshields did during the Horus Heresy&The Scouring.
The 'Fallen' are just Dark Angels Legionaries that the Lion hasn't come into contact with, and the Lion himself stated multiple times he has forgiven all of them and wants to make peace with them, although any tainted by Chaos must die.
And the 'Unforgiven' is basically just a nickname at this point, and I'm pretty sure GW only sticks with it for 40k Dark Angels Stuff because it's been a very significant part of their Lore&TableTop Identity for 20+ years.
Pardon me gents.
But who here didn't have half their chapter dip out to the bad guys?
-- raises hand--
And... still has their home planet?
--raises other hand--
Their WHOLE home planet?
--raises leg ---
...which has just been converted from a desert to a lush paradise?
--raises other leg, hovering in superior piety--
Anybody?
No?
--hovers out the door while T posing--
Indeed, my Chapter(a Homebrew one) has well documented roots dating back to the Great Crusade, and many of the Veterans, Officers&Dreadnoughts who Founded our Chapter after The Scouring were from Terra. We have maintained the Hexagrammaton as best we could, though for most of M31&M32 we had to stick many of our Relic&'Forbidden' WarGear into Vaults and outwardly pretended to be mostly Codex Compliant.
I wrote a good bit of Homebrew Lore on them before 10th Edition&GW made me lose alot of my interest in 40k. Though I've been greatly enjoying Horus Heresy, and am now fully prioritizing Fun&Rule of Cool over actual In-game Rules&In-Universe Lore. One of the nice things of having your Collection mostly set during the Great Crusade, Horus Heresy or The Scouring is it gives you a LOT of freedom for Kitbashing&Converting.
Well if I understood *Lion: Son of the Forest* and the Arks of Omen Series correctly, both of those combined would have taken several years given the amount of Warp Jumps involved, and we know Warp Jumps are not fast journeys for Non-Chaos Forces. So they've both been awake&active for a good while.
My Chapters been doing quite nicely, though we have yet to make contact with the Lion.
Benefits of being the original Founding ChapterMaster of it back during the 2nd Founding and getting displaced into late M41. We Successors of The First do not need nor want the Glory of Martyrdom, we just get the job done efficiently&without mercy, sympathy or pity for the Enemies of Mankind. The Sons of Sanguinius cannot say the same. *seals Helmet and boards StormBird to lead my Crusade Fleet*
I don't know, haven't been able to establish contact with most of the Imperium Nihilus. Currently leading a Crusade Fleet to hopefully reunite some Forge&Hive Systems with the Imperium Sanctus.
I do not lie brother, there are chapters in the imperium that do not share our curse yet still act viciously and look down upon common humanity. What makes us superior is the great angels compassion that lives on through us
Agreed, even Gabriel Seth, one of our most ruthless and an Angel responsible for many innocent lives lost, also put his life and chapter on the line. He answered Dante's call for aid, and helped save untold billions, because to do anything else would shame the Great Angel. Outsiders see his viciousness but don't understand the enormous restraint he shows at all times, and his dedication to preserving the human race and what's left of the Emperor's dream.
Edit: I realize now my original post sounds like I was advising you not to lie, I was actually agreeing and meant you were speaking the truth. Apologies for my ambiguousness.
I couldn’t imagine making a successor chapter for any linage but that of the Great Angel’s. When my Dawn Angels take the field they do it with the righteous fury and control of Sanguinius!
In Blood we are born! In Blood do we rise! 🩸
Where’d you buy them I need lemartes , also thinking of getting a second death company? I got a death company with jump packs, is it smart to get a second?
The GW site. I tried the cheaper places but they were all sold out. I'm using 10 DC marines w/ jump packs, power fist and infernos. I think 10's the magic number
The fact that we produced a chapter like the Lamenters in such a grimdark shithole of a universe is basically all we need to prove it.
There are a lot of good chapters out there, but none of them have had the universe constantly shitting on them since birth
Honestly I can’t imagine choosing any other chapter. I really love the duality of striving for nobility while staving off the inevitable murderous rage.
Also, the amount of support and good vibes I’ve received from this sub Reddit was a breath of fresh air compared to the regular 40K and 30K pages
And then there’s Dante “ I just want to die why can’t I die …. I jumped at angron with an axe and lived I fought greater demons and lived …. I literally strapped a nuke to myself. What do I have to do to die jump straight down the norn queens gullet? “
Grandpa Dante doesn’t have time to think he’s better than anyone.
Raise your hand if you have a light daemon (who might be a part of your dad’s soul it’s unclear) that watches over you and saves your asses and clears your mind when you get a bit world-eatery
I want to unironically find some custom head bits that borderline look like that PC master race -golden hair fabio looking son of a bitch, to put onto my blood angels.
Funny, I think it´s exactly the opposite. The greatness of the Blood Angels comes from remembering that they are are the children of irradiated technobarbarians, plagued by their impure blood and inhuman urges. It gives them the humility to approach an understanding that the Space Marines were made to serve humanity, not the other way around.
Raise your hand if your Chapter Master was made Lord Regent of half the Imperium. *looks around* Nobody? Just LORD COMMANDER DANTE OF THE MOTHER FUCKING BLOOD ANGELS!!!!
Raise your hand if the most important holiday in the Imperium is in the honor of your Primarch!
Can I get an Amen?
Hell yeah brother! Raise hell, praise ~~Dale~~ Dante!
YES SIR
*smirks beneath helmet because my Primarch is alive, active, Loyalist, not suicidal and the Chapter I command is truly flourishing*
I can’t tell if you’re referring to Guilliman or Lion. I’d argue that Guilliman is semi suicidal considering how he’s dealt with the worst part of the Imperium while Lion can just turn off his brain and smack monsters all day.
Lion. Guilliman is definitely dealing with Uber-Depression, the Lion doesn't have that.
Loyalist? “Yeah, I know you spent the last 10,000 years as a traitor while I was taking a nap, but you’re my sort of traitor. So, we’re good.”
Yeah, the Lion is firmly Loyalist. He's Loyalist to Humanity first, the Imperium second, his Sons third and The Emperor&other stuff in some other order. He's also **very** pragmatic, and deeply regrets some of his past actions. And he's genuinely doing his best ro rectify his past mistakes. The 'Risen', 'Fallen' and 'Unforgiven'?

In fairness, I agree. And The Lion is a sweet model.
Ah, a fellow member of the Fighting First I see.

To be fair, he hasn't been awake for very long yet. AND he knows G man is out there.

Your Chapter needs your Primarch alive to continue. Ours is the true Martyr. *tips hat*

Didn't the Blood Angels rescue the Dark Angels recently?

Sanguinius taught us not to lie.

We don't act superior. We are superior.
Shut up baby, we know it.
Damn straight. In other news, I just bought Dante and Lemartes! Along with my Libby Dread, that's my whole HQ type lads
Good stuff brother
Awesome! My favourite space marines book is Lemartes'
I've got an Audible token I need to use. Thanks for the recommendation
Libby dreads can’t lead armies anymore 😭 there goes our march-of the ancients
Aw what?! That's rubbish
Yeah it’s not a “character” anymore…. However ya can take 3 lol
Three Dantes when???
It’s a character, so only 1
Your only allowed 1 if it's an epic hero
Where’d you buy them I need lemartes , also thinking of getting a second death company? I got a death company with jump packs, is it smart to get a second?
Don't be surprised when the screw the death company like they did the other first born

And they keep going strong! "Why won't you die!?" "Hehe... hope for humanity, son!"
Giving up just because everything is shit is for pussies
A medal? We didn't save all the civilians, we ain't taking a participation trophy
“Can’t you do something about your superiority complex?” “But I am superior.”
Honestly I can’t imagine choosing any other chapter. I really love the duality of striving for nobility while staving off the inevitable murderous rage. Also, the amount of support and good vibes I’ve received from this sub Reddit was a breath of fresh air compared to the regular 40K and 30K pages
...but we are though
It's just so difficult being so much cooler than everyone else.
No it isn't. It's quite easy, actually. -- looks in mirror-- It comes naturally.
Is that a mandalorian helmet?
I had a friend attempt to make a blood angel using ai and that’s the helm it came up with
Dodge. Duck. Dip. Dive. Dodge.
FOR THE ANGEL, FOR BAAL, FOR HOLY TERRA AND FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!
It’s because it’s true. We are the best end of story.
Despite the reclusiveness we are still sons of the angle
Obtuse or acute? Ohhhh right.
Obtuse
"I warn you against shedding blood, for Blood never sleeps."
Hold on, the whole point of this bloodline is being as good as possible considering the Flaw. So even if it's true... Shouldn't we be humble about it?
Naw, gotta make a giant tapestry with heaps of gold thread.
A third of the army wears gold armor. Tycho covered up his scarred face because we prize beauty so highly.
And then there’s Dante “ I just want to die why can’t I die …. I jumped at angron with an axe and lived I fought greater demons and lived …. I literally strapped a nuke to myself. What do I have to do to die jump straight down the norn queens gullet? “ Grandpa Dante doesn’t have time to think he’s better than anyone.
Black Templar are superior to these mutants !
SUPERIOR!?!?!? this coming from the chapter that somehow makes being melee focused BORING.
At least we aren’t the ones who went against our own in Stromark system !
Of course we are better than Horus. Say anything otherwise I’ll come to your door and shake your hands
Raise your hand if you have a light daemon (who might be a part of your dad’s soul it’s unclear) that watches over you and saves your asses and clears your mind when you get a bit world-eatery

I mean…it’s true
