Blades of the Lion Armorial

The Blades of the Lion are a 3rd Founding Loyalist Successor Chapter of the lauded and venerable Ebon Knights, whose lineage hails from the ancient Dark Angels Chapter. Their adopted homeworld, Havenfell, lies near the southern rim of the Imperium, and their mountain-top fortress-monastery takes the form of a mighty Imperial cathedral, its great spire piercing the clouds.  

This Chapter has garnered a reputation as being honourable to their allies and implacable to their foes. Their valiant record of heroic deeds stretches back several millennia and is enviable by even some Chapters of more ancient provenance. Despite their laudable record however, like their forbears, the Blades of the Lion are also considered outcasts amongst the Dark Angels Successor Chapters - collectively known as the Unforgiven - for they were one of the few Chapters to stand by the actions of their genetic forebears, when they had the temerity to disobey the orders of the First Founding Dark Angels during the lamentable Crimson Blade Campaign.  

For their actions, the Blades have also been given an outcast status and are counted amongst those known as 'The Forgotten'. Despite their pariah status, the Blades of the Lion continue to be unusually active and seek to carve their own legends in the annals of Imperial history. A fleet-based Chapter, the Blades patrol the outlying borders of the Imperium and are ever-vigilant against unknown threats from the outer dark.
