Talk:Blood Angels

From Lexicanum

18 June 2005 - Updated Basic Information - Sgt John Keel

Could we keep gameplay out of Fluff.

5 September - Blood Angels and Sanguinius - Koki

Ok, this is copied from Wiki, and it turns out really weird because it has more details on Sanguinius that article about Sanguinius himself. I don't know what to make of this, maybe redirect Sanguinius to Blood Angels like in Wiki, or cut everything about Sanguinius from here, leaving only his death as it concerns Red Thirst and Blood Rage.

The article was edited from 71.233.4.191 ... the number of marines in the chapter was changed from 1,000 to 10,000. No source was given (but there isn't any in this article anyway). Now my knowledge of this Chapter is very limited and I don't have their codex to verify but what I gather is they are reasonably stric with the Codex Astartes and thus have approx. 1,000 marines... Unless ofcourse the editor was referring to pre-Heresy since it is a first founding chapter... So I changed it to 10,000 (pre-Heresy) ~1,000(post-Heresy). Please correct me if I'm wrong here :) -- JoeneB, 12 June 2006, 19:37 CEST.

8 January 2008 - The Black Rage, older information?

What's the general attitude to noting differences in fluff between editions of 40K? I ask because in older version the Black Rage was said to have been a result of having to culture geneseed directly from Sanguinius' corpse rather than a psychic shock. Deny the Foe 18:46, 8 January 2008 (CET)

Fleet disposition

Can anyone confirm the information given there? --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 22:11, 7 July 2008 (CEST)

New details emerged

I finished reading Red Fury by James Swallow. A tremendous amount of details poured out from the book, including many current Chapter Master names from the 2nd Founding chapters, details surrounding their combat M.O.s, plus details very relevant to the current state of the Blood Angels. How appliable are these facts to this article? --He2etic 22:48, 4 September 2008 (CEST)

Novels are part of the canon sources (even if the books are really bad like the BA saga). Include the information with proper sources/ footnote and if there are contradictions both "views" have to be included and sourced. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 13:32, 6 September 2008 (CEST)

I'd like to keep Red Fury separate from the other two books for the sake of when the details emerged. The Blood Angels saga came out in rapid succession, but Red Fury came out years later and expounds a lot of details that people may want to contest. Thus, if anyone wants to argue over a point, they can more readily find where we drew the citation. --Lygris 18:52, 8 September 2008 (CEST)
