Publication History

It was first published in White Dwarf magazine in June and July of 2007^[1], and later published online as a pdf file.^[3]

Games Workshop later released the combined contents of the articles as a .pdf file. It could be downloaded from the the Games Workshop website^[3], but numerous changes and updates to the website made the pdf unavailable to download anymore as of 2024.

Soon after the 5th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 was released the Codex Blood Angels .pdf file was updated in coherence to 5th Edition rules.
