From Lexicanum

This particular statement is rubbish: "The main evidence of this is their Chapter organisation and unit markings which are the exact same as the Blood Angels Chapter and their successors."

Point 1: What is the source for the chapters organisation?

Point 2: The Executioners display squad colour on the marines right shoulderpad whilst the Blood Angels use their helmet - that removes "exact" from the equation.

Point 3: Blood Angels use helmet colour to denote squad, scouts do not use helmets.. so what is the colour for BA scout squads?

Point 4: Executioner Support Squads use purple pads, Blood Angel Devastators use Blue helmets - the colours are close, but the Codex Astartes uses the two colours to destinguish between companies 7 and 9, doesn't that indicate that the Astartes regard the colours as separate?

Point 5: The art in the Raven Guards Index Astartes article showed the Raven Guard using standard codex squad markings in white, however it also appeared to suggest that the right shoulderpad trim colour was also dictated by the squad type rather than company which I'd say is a damned site closer than the Blood Angels use of helmet.

Point 6: Executioner Tactical squads have green pads - thats a prett major deviation from the Blood Angels use of red helmets for tacticals, it is however a match for the colour used by the Raven Guard in their IA.

Oh and now I've got that rant out of the way, I believe that: "The Executioners Chapter was created in a Founding during 598.M35, created to help relieve the White Scars in monitoring and countering the many threats taking refuge within the Maelstrom." May actually be canon, however it certainly doesn't come from the only source listed.
