→Chapter Traits
As with many nominally Codex compliant chapters, the Blood Ravens still possess doctrinal preferences and unique personalities from their history that set them apart from other chapters.{{Fn|22}}{{Fn|23}} In general, the Chapter emphasises infantry tactics over winning via vehicular warfare (either through a desire to win through the superior qualities of their fighting infantry, or through lack of means to easily manufacture heavy equipment).{{Fn|22}}
The Chapter places particular emphasis on its Marines supporting each other even in close combat, ensuring that if one member of a squad is attacked the others are positioned to rush in and support them, as well as practicing how to fire [[boltgun]]s single-handed, the better to use in a close-quarters fight alongside a melee weapon.{{Fn|22}}{{Fn|23}} In addition, the Blood Ravens emphasize stealth training, particularly among their [[Tactical Squad|Tactical]] and [[Devastator Squad|Devastator]] marines, familiarising them with infiltrating behind enemy lines. They also have a greater reliance on the fighting capabilities of their infantry, rather than any vehicular or armored superiority.{{Fn|22}}
