Editing Sanguinary Guard (section)

== Variations ==

[[File:AE_Honor_Colors.JPG|300px|thumb|right|[[Angels Encarmine]] even add the alabaster colour to their [[Death Company|Death Companies]].]]
The Sanguinary Guard's looks differ marginally among the Blood Angel's successors (with only the right pauldron being painted in the successor's symbol and colours). There are only two known exceptions: the [[Angels Encarmine]], who paint their Sanguinary Guard's armours in alabaster white and black wings, as opposed to the traditional gold with white wings (though even the wing colours differ from successor to successor), and the [[Angels Vermillion]] who leave the armor the same red as everyone else. Possibly because they don't have the same suits of ancient armour and swag all the other chapters do as a result of being contemptuous dicks--[[Flesh Tearers|which is saying a lot]].

The Blood Angels also have a unique sub-group known as the '''Erelim''', who are essentially what you'd get if the Sanguinary Guard wore all black (including their feathers and skull helms) and were [[Chaplain]]s. There's only five of them at any one time, and they've never been shown leaving [[Astorath|Astorath's]] hidden reclusiam. Interestingly, their name is shared with the Blood Angels legion's [[Destroyer Squad|Destroyer]] cadres.
