So I recently bought some space marines from a friend with full intentions of making them Blood Angels. The only problem with them that I have is that they all have arrows on their right shoulder pad. Is this a chapter marking or can I still make these Blood Angels?

Thats the tactical symbol. Every chapter has those.

That's what I thought but the Tac Squad that I bought didn't have the arrows on the shoulders. Oh well, thanks for clearing that up ><

They are the "easy-snap" marines from either Battle for Macrage or Assault on black reach.

Both of those sets had the Tactical symbol molded into the right Shoulder pad.

Black Reach does. BfM didn't.

Chapter symbol goes on the left shoulder pad, troop markings go on the right. As per the codex, BA don't use arrows/X's/^ symbols, they use different numbers of multicolored blood droplets on their right shoulderpads.

HOWEVER nobody cares, and they are your models. So what?
