Devastation of Baal
After the Devastation of Baal, most of the upper levels of the hierarchy of the chapter was killed, including the Chapter Master, the captains, the entire 1st Company and all organisations with the exception of the Librarius. The lack of a clear Successor Chapter or the means to pick a successor, left the remaining 460 surviving battle-brothers in disarray. There was even talk of having the chapter disbanded due to the loss of over half their number and scattered across the remaining Chapters of the Blood. It was not until Daelus, a former Terminator Sergeant and now Lieutenant of the 1st Company stepped up and requested permission from Commander Dante to have himself and a squad's worth of Blood Angels to take command of the chapter and rebuild it, so that another chapter from the line of Sanguinius wasn't lost to the annals of history. Dante approved the request, and so Daelus and a squad of his former battle-brothers, including a Sanguinary Priest, Chaplain, Dreadnought, three Sternguard Veterans, a Vanguard Veteran and a lone Sanguinary Guard. This squad would form the hierarchy over the newly constituted chapter and rebuild all of the shattered organisations. With the new Primaris Space Marine reinforcements brought by the resurrected Primarch Roboute Guilliman and the repair of their only remaining battle barge (The Red Legionnaire) plus their three strike cruisers (Angelic Sword, Bloodbound and Belarius), last one being named after the first chapter master of the chapter) and set out into a burning galaxy.

For the next two years, they fought across the Segmentum Obscurus and eventually into Segmentum Pacificus. Before the Great Rift, an event called the 'Night of a Thousand Rebellions' occurred. As the name implied, hundreds of worlds rebelled against the Imperium - everything orchestrated by the servants of Chaos, who began a series of invasions once the rebellions had taken over vairous Imperial worlds, leading to a big part of the segmentum to fall into chaos and anarchy. At the southern border of the Segmentum the entire Aerius Sector was lost to the enemies of the Emperor. This small region of the southern reaches of the Segmentum Pacificus consisted of over 150 habitable planets in over 70 systems located in five sub-sectors. The outer systems was ruled by ruthless pirate kings - small but brutal ork tribes and tyrant rebel warlords - while the inner core of the sector was held together with an iron fist by a large Chaos cult known as the Bringers of Terror, led by the Chaos Lord Ezthral, a former Ultramarines Captain from the 35th Millennium.

Chapter Colours
The Blood Legion primarily wear battle-plate of the darkest black, with the exception of the shoulder pauldron insets, which are painted deep red, the colour of spilled blood. Sergeants of the Blood Legion wear the exact opposite, having their shoulder pauldrons painted black with deep red trim, to indicate their more senior role. Like their genetic forebears, the Blood Legion's company designation is displayed on the right shoulder pauldron in the form of a skull (for the Veteran 1st Company) or a differently-coloured drop of blood for the other companies, using the same unique heraldry common to the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters. Blood Legion Librarians have blue armour with both shoulder pauldron insets being deep red in colour. Sanguinary Priests wear white colour battle-plate with deep red coloured shoulder pauldrons. Officers and specialists of the Chapter are indicated by gold trim on their shoulder pauldrons as well as their deep red tabards with gold edging, to indicate their senior status within the Chapter.

Heraldry of the Host
Like their predecessors, the Blood Legion also adheres to a strict heraldic system, allowing them to recognise what company and squad any given Battle-Brother belongs to at a glance. The advantages of such swift recognition amid the madness of battle are obvious. More than this, however, the Sons of Sanguinius revere their heraldry, and bear these markings as badges of pride.

Helm Designations
Instead of of using the standard Codex-compliant symbols to show a unit's role or helmet colour to denote rank, the Blood Legions' helms reflect the squad type to which they belong, though their colours are different than the Blood Angels:


 * Assault Marine: (Yellow) - 1st Company Veteran Battle-Brothers.
 * Tactical Marine: Black - Battle-Brother of the standard Battle Companies.
 * Devastator Marine: (Deep Red) - Battle-Brother assigned to a Heavy Support Squad.
 * Veteran Marine: (Gold) - Member of a company's Honour Guard.

Company Markings
A Blood Legion company's markings differ from those outlined by the Codex Astartes in utilising symbols on the right shoulder plate instead of different colored trim and numbers. Only in special cases does the Chapter badge not appear on the left shoulder plate. The following is a list of how each Company represents itself:
 * 1st Company (Veteran): A white skull over red background on the right shoulder plate. On Terminator (Tactical Dreadnought) Armour, the left shoulder plate shows the First Company's specific heraldry, the right shoulder guard displays the Chapter badge in black (yellow for Sergeants).
 * 2nd Company (Battle): A single yellow blood drop.
 * 3rd Company (Battle): A single white blood drop.
 * 4th Company (Battle): A single green blood drop.
 * 5th Company (Battle): A single black blood drop.
 * 6th Company (Reserve Tactical): Twin yellow blood drops, side by side.
 * 7th Company (Reserve Tactical): Twin white blood drops, side by side.
 * 8th Company (Reserve Assault): Twin green blood drops, side by side.
 * 9th Company (Reserve Devastator): Twin black blood drops, side by side.
 * 10th Company (Scout Marines): The Blood Angels' Scout Company wears a black skull on the right shoulder plate, and the Chapter badge on the left.

Squad Designations
Unlike other Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, the squad markings of the Blood Legion (like their forebears) comprise a single symbol worn on the right knee plate of their Power Armour:


 * 1st Squad: A white skull on a black background
 * 2nd Squad: A white skull on a blue background
 * 3rd Squad: A red blood drop on a yellow background
 * 4th Squad: A red blood drop on a black background
 * 5th Squad: A white X on a black background
 * 6th Squad: A white X on a blue background
 * 7th Squad: A yellow lightning bolt on a black background
 * 8th Squad: A black lightning bolt on a yellow background
 * 9th Squad: A yellow angelic wing on a black background
 * 10th Squad: A black angelic wing on a yellow background

Chapter Badge
The Blood Legion's Chapter badge consists of a black blood drop centered over a laurel.

Chapter Fleet

 * Angelic Sword (Strike Cruiser)
