The Broken Wings were a codex deviant Chapter descended from the Blood Angels. Although officially their founding is unknown, they were already a Chapter of the 9th Legion that had been assigned to watch over an untamed region of the Galaxy during the final days of the Great Crusade.

Unlike many of the Sons of Sanguinius the Broken Wings bore a curse not from the genetic flaw within them but out of shame. The ancestors of the Broken Wings were not able to take part in the Horus Heresy and not present at the Siege of Terra. For this they bore an immense guilt that they did not fight alongside Sanguinius in his last battle and blamed themselves for his death. For what could have happened if an extra chapter of marines was among the Loyalists? Could things have gone differently? Could they have saved Sanguinius? For their perceived failing, the Broken Wings did not feel themselves worthy of being considered Blood Angels. The Chapter experienced a high rate of the Black Rage as marines gave themselves into the insanity of the affliction so that they may relive the terrible Siege of Terra and fight alongside Sanguinius. The Broken Wings also exiled themselves to an eternal crusade to defend worlds from the evils besetting the Imperium with a vow to never stop until the Angel would forgive them. If they could not save their gene-father, then they would save all they could.

This crusade came to an end at the Devastation of Baal when the entirety of the Broken Wings fell against the swarms of Hive Fleet Leviathan. This was a fate they accepted gladly, for they died forgiven.

Days of Glory
In the Great Crusade, the Blood Angels Legion blazed a path through the Galaxy led by the Angel, Sanguinius. Legends of glory were spoken of and heroes rose and fell. These days were full of legendary battles.
