About this deal

M40: Secoris Tragedy — A boarding of an unknown Space Hulk infested with Genestealers met with disaster. The entire Chapter was nearly wiped out; only 50 Blood Angels survived. [32]

White Dwarf 261 (US), "Index Astartes First Founding - Angels of Death, The Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter" Following the salvation of Baal, Guilliman named Dante the Lord Regent of Imperium Nihilus. [9] He used his new authority to organize an offensive to retake the Red Scar region from the tendrils of Leviathan known as the Angel's Halo. [10] He has since undergone the operation to become a Primaris Space Marine. [14]The Blood Angels will spare no effort to attain the material needed to create the Chapter's art and have even fought wars to obtain them. This includes Bloodstone gems, from the deep caves of the Cruor Mountain on Baal and the larvae of the Spinewyrm fauna. Bloodthirsty sand clams are also needed, as the white pigment used to paint the Chapter's angel wings, can only be obtained by crushing clams' shells. [57c] Tactics The Sanguinary Priest can use the Exsanguinator for medical treatment of wounded Space Marines. But more important the Exsanguinator is a tool for retrieving the gene-seed from the body of a fallen Marine and is vital for the survival of the Chapter. In the veins of every Sanguinary Priest flow a portion of Sanguinius's own blood. That adds to the spiritual significance of the Exsanguinator for the Blood Angels. Usually a Sanguinary Priest uses his influence to calm the Red Thirst of his battle brothers. These priests are the epitome of the noble character of Sanguinius's heirs. But there are some priests that aspire to use the gift of their Primarch. [Needs Citation] Successors Despite their melee-emphasized method of war, the Blood Angels maintain a larger then average pool of armored vehicles, including some of unique Design. Most notable of these is the Baal Predator. [109] Organisation Legion Organization

Dante is the current Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. Commander Dante is one of the most experienced and able Space Marine commanders. In no small part, this is due to the longevity of the Blood Angels, which he has ruled for 1,100 years. Dante is the oldest living Space Marine in the Imperium (excluding Dreadnoughts) and is held in awe by leaders of other Chapters, who can remember him being a famous commander when they were in the Scout Company. Since taking the role of Chapter Master, Dante has led the Blood Angels into their most glorious and triumphant millennia since the time of the Scouring. The Great Wolf Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves is perhaps beloved by the people of the Imperium above any other Space Marine commander, and Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines is often considered the most respected by the other Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. Lord Commander Dante of the Blood Angels bears a reputation similar to theirs, but where the Great Wolf is celebrated by the populace for his wisdom as well as his warfare, the Lord of Angels is a distant, golden saviour -- a hero of myth come to life. Where the Lord Macragge is a composed, ruthlessly efficient frontline general admired for his acumen as much as his battle prowess, the Bringer of Light is an avenging angel, falling from the sky ahead of his brothers to strike the first blow. No loyal soul would ever compare such exalted heroes -- all are equal beneath the gaze of the God-Emperor -- but over 1,500 standard years of supreme service speaks for itself. Following his ascension to become the lord regent of the Imperium Nihilus, Dante used his new authority over the Imperial forces in his half of galaxy to organise an Imperial counter-offensive to retake the Red Scar region from tendrils of the Tyranids' Hive Fleet Leviathan. This campaign was known as the Angel's Halo. The Blood Angels have a whole bunch of unique units, owing to their long history and a legacy of having unique codex rules – over time they’ve acquired a whole Chapter Command of their own as well as 3 different Dreadnoughts, and now their own kind of Really Angry Intercessor to boot. HQ Commander Dante

Astorath the Grim

Icon of the Angel. Gives a 6″ aura allowing BLOOD ANGELS units to re-roll charge rolls. Solid bread and butter stuff, boosting your ability to get into combat, and helpful for not being restricted to CORE. Comboing this with a Chaplain to give re-rollable charges at +2 to charge makes for a very reliable punch. A Devastation of Baal (ca.999.M41) - With the arrival of Roboute Guilliman's Indomitus Crusade in the midst of the massive temporal distortions caused by the birth of the Great Rift, the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters are successful in fending off the great assault of Hive Fleet Leviathan upon their homeworld of Baal. The remainder of the Leviathan is largely consumed by a Warp storm and a great assault of Khornate Daemons led by the Blood Angels' most ancient foe, the Bloodthirster Ka'bandha. Declining Promotion: After stopping Arkio's schism, he is offered a captaincy, a massive promotion for a mere battle-brother. He turns it down in exchange for Arkio's surviving followers being subjected to rites that have a chance of cleansing and redeeming them instead of being summarily executed. M41: Seeking revenge for the Brothers who died in the Secoris Tragedy in 996. M40 during a battle with Genestealers, over eighty members of the Blood Angels First Company under the command of Captain Michaelus Raphael boarded the Space Hulk Sin of Damnation and utterly destroyed the aliens.

But that is not all, as we have plenty of rumors about the venerable Commander Dante to re-examine below now! RUMORS: Commander Dante & 4 New HQ Models For Warhammer 40k

Corvus

Commander Dante [9 PL, 1CP, 165pts]: Frag & Krak grenades, Inferno pistol, The Axe Mortalis, Warlord [1CP]

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] The Blood Angels may be renowned for their noble visage and for fighting as the very embodiment of the Angels of Death, yet the more blood they spill, the more they have an overwhelming desire to drink the vital fluids of those they slay. By channelling their bloodlust, the Blood Angels can unleash a ferocity that has led them to victories beyond count. Sometimes they lose control of the Red Thirst, however, and in the aftermath of such battles, it is not uncommon to find the bodies of foes – and more disturbing still, the occasional Imperial citizen – drained of blood… Heroic Bearing –+3″ to Rites of Battle/Tactical Precision/Chapter Master/Spiritual Leaders (to maximum 9″) and +1 Leadership for BLOOD ANGELS CORE units within 9″. A lot better than it was and potentially worth it just for the bigger re-roll auras/abilities. BBut all hope is not lost. The Primarch Roboute Guilliman has returned from deathless sleep, and appointed Commander Dante, lord of the Blood Angels, as Regent and Warden of the newly dubbed Imperium Nihilus. Morleo Moriar — Death Company Furioso Dreadnought. Formerly a captain, fell at the Battle of Clamorga [2] During the Horus Heresy, the Blood Angels were one of the few Legions who fought alongside the Emperor during the Battle of Terra. When Horus lowered the shields of his battlebarge and the Emperor teleported aboard the ship, Sanguinius was with him. [Needs Citation] Lord Commander Dante following his crossing of the Rubicon Primaris and ascension to become a Primaris Space Marine. Angel Ascendant – 1CP – Give a Sergeant either Master-crafted, Digital Weapons, Fleshrender Grenades, or Quake Bolts. Like with all the other versions of this your most likely use is to give a Sergeant some kind of master-crafted weapon. Like everywhere else, it’s fine. B
