The Blades of Vengeance is a Loyalist Space Marine chapter created from Dark Angels Geneseed. Created during the Ultima Founding, the BoV are comprised entirely of Primaris Marines. How they will deal with the fact that their parent chapter is actually in control of all their successors is TBD. How they are organized, since they won't fit in Terminator Armor or on Bikes(fixed), and hence can't join the Deathwing or the Ravenwing, is a mystery best left to Cawl for now - they might be throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Knowing how Admech "improvement" works, it could be true. On the other hand, the NuMarines aren’t that much larger.
On the Tabletop
The Blades of Vengeance are the "official" Dark Angels NuMarines chapter, and as such combine the shiny new True-Scale marines with the newer aesthetic with the themes of the Dark Angels chapter.
Colors and Heraldry
The Blades of Vengeance wear Dark Angels green into combat, with their face-plates and in the insets of their pauldrons being a bone white color. The Imperial symbol on the chestplate is ruby red. The Squad Specialty insignia is shown on the right pauldron, while the Chapter icon is on the left. The company designation is on the right kneeguard. In all other manner the Blades follow the standard heraldry as the other Unforgiven. Which is interesting and...kinda weird. Because they’re Primaris and the First Legion is extremely secretive. It’s possible that their predecessors taught them at least the Legion’s culture or perhaps taught them everything that wasn’t unknown to most Marines. The Primaris in the Dark Angels seem to have been taught the culture more or less, after all.
The bone appears to be the same as the Blood Ravens -- so Ushabti Bone (over Zandri Dust base if transparency is a problem), Seraphim Sepia, Screaming Skull or Zandri Dust, Agrax Earthshade, Ushabti Bone, Screaming Skull.
Chapter Badge
Following the medieval crusader theme semi-common with the Ultima Founding chapters, the Blades of Vengeance chapter badge is a black silhouette of a stylized shield with a bone colored sword in the center of it.
