Virtues of the Sons
The Blood Angels and Sanguinius
The IX Legion: Signus, Secundus, Ruinstorm and its own Siege perspectives. The complete Siege sequence is available in Reading order. After the Heresy come Amit’s early stories, Sons of Wrath and Debt of Blood, followed by the later Cretacia campaign: the Legion’s legacy in the Flesh Tearers, not a deployment of the whole Blood Angels Chapter. The two early stories’ exact order is unknown. The Great Angel’s Terra epilogue is an independent later episode, not a continuation of Amit’s campaign.
