The Blue Suns are a successor chapter to the WhiteScars based on the heavily forested DeathWorld Antarius, located a few light-years off one of the major Chaos invasion routes from the [[NegativeSpaceWedgie Eye of Terror]]. The chapter prizes the gathering of knowledge and tactical flexibility over fanaticism, view the ''Codex Astartes'' as merely one tactical possibility of many, and are overall pretty optimistic.

* EnemyMine: They have an extremely tense relationship with an Eldar Craftworld that settled down near their territory, one that developed after the two sides were forced to work together to defeat a particularly bad Chaos incursion. Most of the time it amounts to "we stay off your planets, you stay off ours," but they do trade information once in a while.

* HumansAreWhite: Averted. Their original recruitment stock was descended from central Asians, same as the White Scars, and they aren't picky about which planets near Antarius they recruit from: their current chapter master is ethnically black.

* ProudScholarRace: The Blue Suns make a habit of carefully studying the tactics used by other armies to learn what works and what doesn't. For example, faced with the Tau, they've learned that the Ethereal is [[KeystoneArmy the weak point]] and prefer to launch a diversionary attack to draw off their forces, then deep-strike a couple squads of Terminators right onto the Ethereal's head.

The Blue Suns are a [[{{Fanon}} non-canon]] loyalist [[SpaceMarine Adeptus Astartes]] chapter in the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' universe. A joke chapter originally developed by Tropers/StarSword for ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' multiplayer games, Tropers/StarSword's [[TheRoleplayer tendency to roleplay]] led to the creation of a backstory.

!!Tropes exhibited by the Blue Suns include:
* AuthorAppeal: The somewhat silly approach to ''40k'' lore and the backstory is largely due to Tropers/StarSword preferring the parts of the mythos that don't take the GRIMDARK too seriously (e.g. the ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' series).
