History
The Angels Vermillion is a secretive Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, shunning all contact with their Brother Chapters, choosing to bear their lingering curse in solitude and isolation. Ironically, little is recorded in the Imperial Records of the Chapter's exploits since the Second Founding, but whenever they are mentioned, their battle record is nothing short of exemplary. It is impossible to say why the Chapter has chosen to endure its curse without the support of its Brother Chapters. One wonders about the cause of their self-imposed exile from their brethren, and whether it is simply a case of a shame that must be endured alone, or something darker.
During 992.M41, the Angels Vermillion aided their parent Chapter during the battle for the Hives of Hollonan, answering the call for aid of Mephiston as a tendril of Hive Fleet Kraken descended upon the world.
Sometime prior to the 3rd Armageddon War (in which the Chapter did not participate) the Angels Vermillion was subjected to attacks by the Order of the Argent Shroud under the leadership of Canoness Dissenta.
Colour Scheme
The Angels Vermillion is depicted as wearing carmine coloured armour with a yellow chest eagle. In the book How to Paint Space Marines however the chapter is depicted in the scheme used by the Angels Encarmine: vermillion coloured armour with a yellow chest eagle, black shoulder pad trims and backpack. The Codex: Blood Angels (5th Edition) however gave them back their original armour.4c
Their chapter badge is a skull within a red blood drop with wings the same as the Blood Angels Chapter badge.
