Blood Angels - Order of Battle, 999.M41: Represented below is the composition and deployment of the Blood Angels Chapter circa 999.M41. For logistical reasons, each squad is assumed to have a nominal strength of ten Battle-Brothers, although battlefield attrition and instability brought on by the Flaw inevitably reduces this tally. In addition to the forces shown here, each company or strike force will also have a Death Company, although this is considered to be an auxiliary force. The Death Company's strength varies according to the onset of the Black Rage, and it therefore does not appear as an "official" fighting body.As mentioned above, the Blood Angels follow the dictates of the Codex Astartes in most of their organisation. There are 10 companies in the Blood Angels Chapter and each is led by a Captain who is protected by elite Veteran Astartes who serve as his Honour Guard. The only exceptions to the standard Codex structure allowed by the Blood Angels and its Successor Chapters are the Sanguinary Guard and the Death Company.The 1st Company is composed of the Chapter's Space Marine Veterans, warriors with experience forged in countless battles throughout the Imperium and trained in the use of the sacred and extremely rare suits of Terminator Armour, while the 2nd to 5th Companies are the Battle Companies who carry the weight of the Chapter's combat duties.The 6th to 9th Companies serve as the Chapter's Reserve Companies and are composed of squads of the same overall type who often act as support for the Battle Companies, as well as providing replacements for the casualties suffered by the Battle Companies. The 6th and 7th Companies are composed entirely of Tactical Marines, while the 8th Company is a made up of Assault Marines, and the 9th Company has a full complement of Devastator Marines. Finally, the 10th Company is composed of the Chapter's Scout Marines, neophytes who have not yet earned their place as full-fledged Battle-Brothers of the Chapter.The following represents the order of battle of the Blood Angels Chapter as it stood in 999.M41 before the birth of the Great Rift and the influx of Primaris Space Marine reinforcements:Chapter Command 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/c/c6/Dante_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214091623" class="image"><img alt="Dante Icon" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/c/c6/Dante_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091623" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="90" height="80" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Dante Icon.png" data-image-key="Dante_Icon.png" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/c/c6/Dante_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091623" /></a> 	 		 		 		 	 Lord Commander Dante, Master of the Blood Angels, Lord of the Angelic Host 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/ef/Sanguinary_Guard_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214091645" class="image"><img alt="Sanguinary Guard Icon" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/ef/Sanguinary_Guard_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091645" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="90" height="115" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Sanguinary Guard Icon.png" data-image-key="Sanguinary_Guard_Icon.png" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/ef/Sanguinary_Guard_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091645" /></a> 	 		 		 		 	 Sanguinary GuardBrother Sepharan, Exalted Herald of Sanguinius29 Sanguinary GuardsChapter EquerriesSerfs & ServitorsArmouryReclusiumSanguinary PriesthoodBrother IncaraelMaster of the Blade35 Techmarines105 Servitors20 Predators21 Baal Predators6 Vindicators7 Whirlwinds43 Land Raiders53 Stormraven Gunships 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/e7/BA_Reclusium_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214091716" class="image"><img alt="BA Reclusium Icon" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/e7/BA_Reclusium_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091716" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="90" height="89" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="BA Reclusium Icon.png" data-image-key="BA_Reclusium_Icon.png" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/e/e7/BA_Reclusium_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091716" /></a> 	 		 		 		 	 Astorath the GrimRedeemer of the Lost, High Chaplain of the Blood Angels13 Chaplains 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/2d/Sanguinary_Priesthood_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214092100" class="image"><img alt="Sanguinary Priesthood Icon" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/2d/Sanguinary_Priesthood_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214092100" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="90" height="118" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="Sanguinary Priesthood Icon.png" data-image-key="Sanguinary_Priesthood_Icon.png" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/2d/Sanguinary_Priesthood_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214092100" /></a> 	 		 		 		 	 Brother CorbuloKeeper of the Red Grail21 Sanguinary PriestsLibrariusFleet CommandLogisticiam 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/7e/BA_Libararius_Icon.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214091812" class="image"><img alt="BA Libararius Icon" src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/7e/BA_Libararius_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091812" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="90" height="82" class="thumbimage" data-image-name="BA Libararius Icon.png" data-image-key="BA_Libararius_Icon.png" data-relevant="1" data-src="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/7e/BA_Libararius_Icon.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/90?cb=20141214091812" /></a> 	 		 		 		 	 MephistonMaster of the Librarius and Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels6 Epistolaries11 Codiciers9 Lexicaniums5 Acolytum6 Furioso Librarian DreadnoughtsBrother BellerophonKeeper of the Heavengate7 Strike Cruisers2 Battle Barges (Blade of Vengeance, Bloodcaller)16 Rapid Strike Vessels (Escorts)36 Thunderhawk Gunships3 Thunderhawk TransportersBrother AdanacioWarden of the Gates900 Chapter Equerries(Chapter Serfs) and ServitorsAngelic Host 	 	<a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/fb/Alatus_Cadere_-_Winged_Droplet.png/revision/latest?cb=20140918020856" class="image"><img alt="Alatus Cadere -
