I'm trying to make a back story for my Space Marine Chapter. They were orginally a successor of the Angels Encarmine, but this made it difficult to think of a reason they would need to create a successor (Considering the fact that they are hardly ever at full strength), so I want to make a direct Blood Angels Successor.
What should I change it to?

I think ruin sounds best. The others are too Khorne-y.

Putting "Angels" instead of "Dragons" might sound better.

I'd call them Angels of Ruin personally. Dragons have nothing to do with the Blood Angels. Stick with the Blood and the Angel Theme.

Hmm, I like the Angels Draconian idea. I do agree the others sound very Chaotic, I wanted to give a sort of violent feel as I use a lot of Death Company and Assault Marines.
Their homeworld is a planet populated by giant winged lizards, and is called Draconis. My working story for the founding revolves around a member of a clan venturing into the wilderness and killing one of the dragons with just a knife or something.
Yes, I do like the Angels Draconian... Still open for ideas though. Thanks for everyone's comments so far.

Possibly with a little bit of fluff that later on in the chapter's "lifespan" they turned to Chaos and became the Dragons of Slaughter.

I think any Dragons of [blank] name is not going to sound very good. That's just my personal opinion, though. I like the Sanguine Dragons. Is there already a Blood Dragons? And Angels Draconian is just too hardcore for words.

Doesn't sound like a SM chapter, more like an IG regiment. I like Sangiuine Dragons or Angels Draconian. Thanks again for the suggestions.
BTW, is it possible to edit a poll?

At first I read it as Angels of Ruin, then realized that it was dragons. Angels of Ruin would be an awesome name, although it feels as if they would turn traitor given time.

What do Dragons have to do with bloodthirtsy angels?

Successor chapters are still a vein of the founding chapter and carry a similar theme/name.

Look up Blood and Angel in a thesaurus and combine some cool sounding words.

Example:

Sanguine Guardians
Seraphs of Sanguine
