Few Space Marine Chapters are held in such high regard as the Blood Angels. The Sons of Sanguinius have such an unorthodox Chapter cult and order of battle – involving distinctive formations, unusual tactics, and mighty heroes – that they require their own Codex to accompany their unique miniatures.
For fans of stylish power armour in sombre black with red accents, grizzled Chaplains, and morbid executioners with imposing black wings, the Blood Angels Army Set is for you. This new box is available for pre-order this weekend, and it contains a brand new Codex Supplement, which brings with it three new Detachments for you to organise your army into – whether they’re wearing red, black, or gold armour.
If you’re wondering where all the red is, don’t worry – there’ll be lots of red in due course (and perhaps a little gold). But these Adeptus Astartes have well and truly fallen to the curse of the Black Rage, noble and disciplined Space Marines become raging berserkers consigned to the Death Company.
The Black Rage has plagued the Chapter’s gene-seed since the Horus Heresy, shredding their minds and forcing them to relive the dying moments of their beloved Primarch over and again, lashing out at the enemy in unquenchable fury. Few have ever managed to hold this madness in check, but one such hero returns to lead the Death Company with a brand new miniature – Chaplain Lemartes, the Guardian of the Lost.
