One of my favorite little blurbs was about how there is a Terminator suit in the Blood Angels armory from the Ultramarines. It is kept in it's battered blue because every time they tried to paint it in BA iconography, the wearer is killed.
My Blood Angels 1st Co. Terminator army (Deathwing rules) is even getting one of their number painted as the suit as an easter egg.
That reminds me, I keep on meaning to paint a BA logo on the knee of one of my suits of TDA. To represent that suit being returned to the Ultras after the battle of Macragge. I figure after the 1st company got wiped out, they’s have to recall the loaner suit. But you need to honor the spirits and accomplishments of your wargear, so something needs to be done to mark all the glory earned in the service of Angels.
The further marines get from Codex Astartes, they better they get. Sounds like whomever wrote it was a moron.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the fact is, the Ultramarines are the most successful, stable chapter in the Imperium. They are even above Imperial writ, not having to pay normal tithes and have their own entire star system to sustain themselves and draw recruits from, not to mention that system tanked the whole First Tyrannic war by itself.
DA/BA/SW? Go back to your corner, fellas.
Leviathan and Ka'Bandha. At once. The boys in blue have nothing on the Sons of Sanguinius.
If we're comparing how to not stop a hive fleet with 20+ chapters in support then I suppose the BA can take this one.
Leviathan continues its assault the galaxy. Two dozen Space Marine Chapters are known to be involved in containment operations, with Captain Aajz Solari of the Raven Guard in overall command.[...]In 999.M41 a tendril of Leviathan has been identified to be on a direct course to the Blood Angels' Homeworld of Baal.

And dont forget the largest chaos daemon incursion in decades. And if you wanna go with multiple chapters, BA dispatched 3 full companies to wipe up Macragge. Wheres the boys in blue when WE need em? Plus, unless they advance the plotline (which they wont) we wont know if the Scions of Sanguinius can repel the attackers. Also, two dozen chapters are engaged with it, not so many in the Baal system.
Spoiler:
As the launch of the 13th Black Crusade consumes the resources of the Imperium, a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan is determined to be on a direct course for Baal. To make matters worse, the dread Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha, the Bane of Sanguinius, returns from the Warp leading an army of daemons. His first blow is struck against Ammonai, the outermost world of the Baal System. Faced with a possible war of extermination for the Chapter on 2 fronts, Lord Commander Dante makes swift preparations, and unites many Imperial and even non-human worlds under the command of the Blood Angels simply for the sake of survival against Tyranid and Daemon alike. Even some former foes of the Chapter and the Imperium are counted in Dante's alliance, though whether or not they can be truly trusted when the time comes remains an open question. Well aware that even these forces will not be enough to repel both foes, Dante recalls the 3rd Company from its operations on Armageddon and sends requests for aid to all of the Blood Angels' known Successor Chapters. The Flesh Tearers are the first to respond and despatch their entire fighting strength to the Blood Angels' aid without question. Ultimately, all of the Successor Chapters save for the Lamenters lend some form of aid to their primogenitor. Even the Knights of Blood, declared Renegade by the Imperium many centuries earlier, heed Dante's call—though they are very careful to never take the field alongside the other Chapters. The stage is thus set for the defence of Baal, and perhaps the final battle of the Scions of Sanguinius, the Sons of the Angel.
