Watch for Gerry.
He's saying that despite having better weapons and armor. Such as artificer and the "master-crafted weapons" that sanginary guard always seem to die to things like normal chaos marines despite their obvious advantages over vanguard.
It's like what is the most dangerous thing to a terminator? A lasgun.

BT uses the Codex Astartes as toilet paper. They’re an Imp Fist successor, recruit from multiple planets, and are known to be the largest Chapter in the galaxy. They’re on a constant Crusade, keeping it real for the Emperor and not bumming around like the other guys. They hate psykers and can’t ally with them. They’re basically an entire chapter of Chaplains. CC lunatics. What every Space Marine should aspire to be, if not trapped in a Matt Ward nightmare.
1.) Vanguard Veterans are dozen times better then Sanguinary Guard
2.) Sanguinary guard Fluff wise are supposed to be OP like insane powerful they where Sanguinius's personal guard but ingame they suck B*lls.
3.) The Captain is threatening to Promote the Vanguard Vet to Sanguinary Guard therefore sentencing him to death because they suck so bad.
4.) Master Crafted Weapons are horrible. They have the Words Master Crafted in them implying uberness but a comparison to real life would be the equivalent of me taking away a Katana from you then giving you a turd or wet noodle and telling you congratulations you've been promoted!
Sanguinary Guard have no weapon options they are forced to take what sounds cool a Glaive Encarmine WOW! SOUNDS GREAT! SWEET! Does it gives +1 to Weapon Skill so you hit on a 3? no -_-. Does it gives +1 to Strength Skill so you Wound on a 3? no -_-. Oh well does it let you Reroll all your Failed to hits? no. Well but it has a special name and everything so i guess it must then let you reroll all your failed to Wounds? no -_-
Its simply lets you reroll a single missed attack. -_- WTF a 10 point Lightning Claw lets you ReRoll all your Failed Wounds. a Space Wolf- Wolf Claw lets you Choose if you want to reroll all your attacks or wounds
So the Vanguard Vet is scared to get promoted and loose his Lightning Claws.
And because Sanguinary Guard suck you can only take 5 a squad for 200 points, competitive players who understand the blood angel codex know not to take them because only thing they are good for is being a beautiful corpse when they fail.

Cheers for the explanation. I always assumed that since Sanguinary Guard had artificer armour, they must be badass and uber. Clearly I was wrong
