If I understand it right, the Blood Angels' assaulty-ness is the result of Sanguinius' romp with Ka' Banda, which explains how other chapters like the raven guard like to use assault marines but are pragmatic enough to realize it isn't always a good idea, where as blood angels have a near preponderance for assault infantry bordering on tactical deficit.

But how are pre heresy blood angels portrayed? Please excuse any violations of fluff I may have commited on your favorite chapter; I'm not as well read on the loyalist chapters/ legions as I am on the traitors/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619195/7282236.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619195/7282236.page GMT BA are still very much assault oriented they actually had a rivalry with the World Eaters. They're just not as brutal up front butchery as legions like the WE or Space Wolves.

Though they where and still are known for assaults the Blood Angels didn't and still don't handle every situation with "let's just drop everyone in with jump packs". Even now the BA don't always field jump packs, every battle brother is trained and proficient in their use but if I remember right each company has no more assault squads than a normal chapter. But they always have their assault squads at full strength]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619195/7282327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619195/7282327.page GMT
