Overview

An Ultima Founding Chapter, the Blood Scythes' first campaigns have been in the on-going efforts to purge the Red Scar of Tyranids. This was after the Chapter was united with the Sanguinary Brotherhood, after the Devastation of Baal and they have swiftly embraced the Blood Angels' traditions. Since then, the Blood Scythes have rapidly earned a name for themselves as warriors of honour and they uphold their Primarch Sanguinius' codes with the zeal of the newly converted.[1a]

Known Battles
