Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Blood Angels (En)

Product Information

The White Scars– formerly the V Legion Astartes – are renowned as both one of the most popular Space Marine chapters, and one of the hardest to paint. The sons of Primarch Jaghatai Khan, a.k.a. the Warhawk, the White Scars were briefly neutral in the Horus Heresy, before coming down firmly on the side of the Emperor. In the 41st millennium, they’re still going strong, and compliant with the Codex Astartes, counting many successor chapters to their name.

For now, though, we’re interested in what happened next for the Space Marines who remained loyal to the Imperium of Man. The history of the Blood Angels, with a look at how their valiant defence of Terra and loss of their Primarch at the hands of the Arch-traitor Horus forever changed their fateYou may only be able to activate it once per battle, but when you do, that’s a potential AP -3 with your Astartes chainswords and a whopping AP -5 with power swords! If you time it right (and roll lots of 6s), your opponent’s force will effectively be stripped of their armour. The arrival of Primaris Space Marine reinforcements has also reportedly been a stabilising influence, as they appear more resilient to the pitfalls of Sanguinius’ infamous genetic ‘Flaw’– though Gabriel Seth has a nasty habit of headbutting the pretty out of them until they look like proper Flesh Tearers After the battle in the Signus Cluster, the Blood Angels were able to link up with Ultramar and under the watchful eyes of Roboute Guilliman Sanguinius was eventually crowned Emperor of Imperium Secundus. [31] Originally the VII Legion, led by Primarch Rogal Dorn, the Imperial Fists are mostly famed for two things: their vivid yellow armor, and their prodigious skill at fortification and defence. Also remember that you can use the Space Marine codex stratagem Unyielding in the Face of the Foe which, for 1 cp allows them to add +1 to their armour saves against weapons with damage 1. SANGUINARY ANCIENT A Sanguinary Ancient with Sanguinary Guard

Today, as adherents of the Codex Astartes, the Blood Angels divide their battle brothers among the chapter into companies. There are 10 companies in the Blood Angels and each one is led by a Captain who is guarded by elite veterans known as the Honour Guard. [3] The only exceptions to the Codex structure allowed by the Blood Angels and its Successors are the Sanguinary Guard [4j] and the Death Company. [Needs Citation]M41: The Cryptus Campaign — Commander Dante leads much of the Blood Angels and their successors against the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan, which have massed in such force that Baal itself is threatened. [36b] Upon Wings of Fire is a great way to grab an objective at the last minute, pull an at-risk squad out of combat or get a particularly deadly unit into position for a devastating charge.
