Changes

The Sanguinary Guard fought alongside Sanguinius as he took part in the boarding operation of the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'' during the climax of the [[Siege of Terra]]. After this battle only a single survivor remained of that august force: [[Azkaellon]], Herald of the Primarch, and only because Sanguinius insisted that he remain on [[Terra]]. It was on his shoulders that the heavy burden befell of the reconstitution of the Order, to serve as a beacon of hope for the dark days that lay ahead. It is largely through his efforts that the legacy of the Sanguinary Guard survived in the Blood Angels, and spread to all its Successors.{{Fn|1a}}

Ten thousand years later, after the formation of the [[Great Rift]], the Sanguinary Guard again faced destruction against [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. In the ensuing [[Devastation of Baal]], only a single member of the Sanguinary Guard, [[Caraeus]], survived.{{Fn|2}}
