Icons of the Angel
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Icons of the Angel are items within the Blood Angels Chapter, that represent their Primarch Sanguinius.[1]
Each is unique and take various forms, such as a token chained to a vambrace or a small shrine upon a Battle Brother's backpack. The Icons, though, are only entrusted to those Blood Angels whose faith in their Primarch is profound and articulate. The bearers will then in battle, remind their Battle Brothers of the heretics who fled after laying low Sanguinius and will exhort the Blood Angels to let no enemy escape their grasp again.[1]
