Angelus Misericordiae

The Angelus Misericordiae (Low gothic; Angels of Mercy) are a mysterious and strange chapter of Blood Angel successors, who turn up without warning, and deliver bloody retribution on the enemies of the Imperium. Almost entirely devoid of markings beyond sombre death masks, the Chapter is often only known by the trail of charred worlds left in their wake. With few, if any records amongst the Administratum, and no acknowledgement by the High Lords of Terra, the Angelus Misericordiae are an enigma to the Imperium at large. They possess many armour and weapons of ancient providence, and the rare appearances of their Chapter outside of battle, further fuel suspicions of this strange and illusive group. 
Only known to a few amongst the Blood Angels is the dark knowledge of their founding. The Chapter was formed from the Destroyer Marines of the Angel's Tears during the Horus Heresy. Having forsaken their name in service to Sanguinius and the Emperor, with the former's death, and the latter's internment on the Golden Throne, they endeavoured to continue their service until released by one or the other. Unbeholden to the Lords of Terra, they departed into the void to begin their 10,000 war of vengeance, delivering the Emperor's Mercy to populations too far gone to be saved. 
When the Angelus Misericordiae appear, it is only through portents from the Emperor's Tarot, where they have been directed to worlds in need of his mercy. Combating Orkish infestations, Genestealer cults, abhuman monstrosities, and massed Chaos incursions, they descend upon their targets with rad-weapons, alchem munitions, and phosphex bombs, leaving only charred ruins in their wake. When they arrive, populations are often too far gone to be saved, and their brutal, even cruel means of warfare means few will be left when their task is done. With their target cleansed of all threats, they depart again, leaving no monuments or messages. Once again they return to the void, in preparation to again adminster the Emperor's Mercy.

Dragonfire Round	Bolter Round	Used by Sternguard Veterans, it release a gout of superheated gas that makes a mockery of cover; the gas discharge ensuring that struck targets receive full damage, even if partially protected.
Hellfire Round 	Bolter Round	The Hellfire replaces the core and tip of the standard bolt round with a vial of mutagenic acid, and thousands of needles that fire into the target's flesh on impact, pumping the acid into the target. Developed specially to combat Tyranids, Hellfire Rounds have equally devastating results on other organic targets.
Inferno Round 	Bolter Round	Designed to immolate their targets and destroy them with superheated chemical fire. The deuterium core is replaced with an oxy-phosphorus gel, known as Promethium.
Kraken Round 	Bolter Round	Powerful armour-piercing rounds. The deuterium core is replaced by a solid adamantine core and uses a heavier main charge.

Chain Fist 	Chain Weapon 	The Chainfist is the marriage of a Power Fist and Chainsword, keeping the strength and power field of the Power Fist, with the cutting power of the Chainsword. The disruptive field covers the Chainsword, allowing it to quickly chew through bulkheads, making it the perfect entry tool.
Lightning Claw 	Power Weapon 	A power Fist gifted with energised claws, the Lightning Claw can scissor through flesh and bone with ease, causing grevious injuries, or outright reducing its target to bloodied chunks.
Thunder Hammer 	Power Weapon 	A massive hammer, it utilises power fields in a novel way. Instead of being constantly on, it only activates at the moment of impact, with incredible force, resulting in a powerful crack, often throwing its prey back in disarray.
Crozius Arcanum	Power Weapon 	A symbol of office, and a powerful weapon in its own right, the Crozius Arcanum is a Chaplain's badge, and in a pinch, its power field allows it to crush a foe as a powerful bludgeon.
Force Weapon 	Force Weapon 	Carried by members of the Librarius, the Force weapon is a conduit of their power. The weapon seems to differ little from other weapons, but possesses a psi-connvector that channels the psyker's power. At the moment of impact with their foe, the Psyker's power is focused, and the weapon acts as a conduit, transferring that power into their foe.

Armour 	Armour 	Armour
Armour Name 	Armour Type 	'Description
Mark 2 "Crusade Armour" 	Power Armour 	One of the oldest patterns of Power Armour still in circulation, the Crusader armour is dated by modern standards, but still possesses incredible armour, and tough features. The suits are regarded more as a ceremonial item, and rarely sees battles.
Mark 3 "Iron Armour" 	Power Armour 	An improved variant of the Crusade Armour, the Iron features much heavier armour, and as a result is more cumbersome. these suits are still highly prized, especially by the Tyrants.
Mark 4 "Imperial Maximus Suit"	Power Armour 	Considered the pinnacle of Power Armour design at the time of its inception, the Maximus was superior in every regard to the Crusade Armour. Still kept in some numbers, they are even traded by their allies who can still manufacture the suits.
Mark 5 "Heresy Armour" 	Power Armour 	More a badge of honour, the Heresy Armour was originally an ad-hoc suit made by the Loyalists to make up for deficits in suit numbers and capabilities. The Heresy suit is resistant, but heavy and power hungry.
Mark 6 "Corvus Armour" 	Power Armour 	Precursor to modern suits, the Corvus features many components and technology that would be seen on later suits. The Corvus is a tough and reliable suit, with very powerful and accurate sensors. lighter, easier to manufacture, more reliable, and more stealthy than previous models, the Corvus is still manufactured.
Mark 7 "Aquila Armour" 	Power Armour 	Considered a standard amongst the Chapter, the Aquila armour is a well balanced armour, mixing armour, ease of manufacture, and mobility. Almost every battle-brother has worn one of these suits once.
Mark 8 "Errant Armour" 	Power Armour 	The most recent armour pattern, it improves on the Aquila with extra armour around the collar. Manufacturing delays have meant the suits are in short supply, so they often only go to veterans.
Cataphractii Pattern 	Tactical Dreadnought Armour	The most ancient pattern of armour referred to as 'Tactical Dreadnought Armour', the Cataphractii is a monolithic suit of armour, covered in slabs of armour, and potent shield generators. While slow moving, its possesses incredible protection. There are very few suits of these armour.
Tartaros Pattern 	Tactical Dreadnought Armour	Probably the most advanced suit made yet, the Tartaros is the greatest balance of strength, protection, and mobility. However, this comes at the cost of it being the most technically advanced, and most costly to build. With the information to build them having been lost, the Tartaros is becoming increasingly rare.
Indomitus Pattern 	Tactical Dreadnought Armour	The most common suit of Terminator Armour, the Indomitus is strong, and with incredible protection. Built like a tank, they are heavy duty suits meant for close quarters combat. They are used by only the most elite forces in the Chapter, who carry the Crux Terminus honour.
Centurion Armour 	Heavy Duty Power Armour 	A larger exoskeleton, not unlike the Terminator suits, the Centurion is a high power suit that allows for incredible strength and armour, at the cost of manoeuvrability. The Centurion is a massively armoured suit, designed for siege work. Its strength allows it to carry heavy weapons without a care, or smash defences.
Scout Armour 	Body Armour 	Compared to every other suit in use, the Scout Armour is probably the simplest. Using basic combat armour over a hardened fabric uniform, the suit is tough and resilient, but is nothing compared to Power Armour.
Combat Shield 	Shield 	The Combat Shield is a small plasteel shield, with a power generator inside of it. Light weight, and bolted to the wrist of the user, it is easy to use, and allows the operator to still carry a sidearm, or wield a two handed weapon
Boarding Shield 	Shield 	A heavy duty slab of armour, the Boarding Shield is used to ward off fire during incursions into enemy starships. Heavy armoured, and protected by an energy shield, it ties into the auto-senses of the user's power armour. It features a notched plate along the side that allows the user to fire a weapon, even while the shield is up.
Storm Shield 	Shield 	The most powerful shield used by Astartes, the Storm Shield is large, and cumbersome, and shielded in a field of shimmering energy, that snaps and crackles on impact. Capable of warding off the fire of anti-tank weapons, the Storm Shield is carried by Terminators when storming the enemy's position.

Dreadnoughts 	Dreadnoughts 	Dreadnoughts
Dreadnought Name 	Dreadnought Type 	Description
Dreadnought 	Dreadnought 	An engine of destruction, every dreadnought contains the interred remains of a hero of the Chapter, close to death, but kept alive by the life support systems held within. Each is deadly at range with their cannons, and at short range, with their fearsome power fist. Despite their size and bulk, they are surprisingly agile and sure footed.
Hellfire Dreadnought 	Long-ranged Support Dreadnought	Each Hellfire Dreadnought exchanges its power fist for a missile pod, making it deadly at range, and a fearsome hunter of armour.
Ironclad Dreadnought 	Siege Dreadnought 	A heavily armoured dreadnought, the Ironclad is most commonly seen at the head of sieges, smashing its way through enemy blockades, and filling the air with frag and fire. It carries weapons specific to its role, and its plating is embedded with frag assault launchers, flushing the enemy out as it's assault hits home.
Contemptor pattern Dreadnought 	Heavy Dreadnought 	An ancient pattern to Dreadnought, lost to the Imperium at large, the Contemptor is still a frighteningly powerful monster. Clad in heavy armour, and protected even further by Atomantic shielding, the Contemptor strides forth, ignoring even the deadliest of weapons. It takes much of the same weaponry as the smaller Mk IV and Mk V dreadnoughts.
Deredeo pattern Dreadnought 	Long-ranged Support Dreadnought	Cousin of the Contemptor, the Deredeo is heavier in armour, and much stockier, and carries on its shoulders much more mighty weapons. Rather than the rampaging might of the Contemptor, the Deredereo specialising in precise, long distance fire, hitting the enemy with punishing accuracy.
Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnought	Siege Dreadnought 	The largest, most powerful pattern of Dreadnought ever manufactured, these barely-understood machines contained unique technologies that have been lost to the onset of time. Armed with phospex launchers, hunter-killer missiles, and a chassis mounted Volkite Calivers or heavy flamers, it is a force on the battlefield. The machines take a toll on their occupants, sapping them of their little remaining life, and driving them mad.
Assault Cannon 	Auto Weaponry 	A multi-barrelled Autocannon, the Assault Cannon produces a devastating hail of fire that chews apart infantry. While it suffers from reliability issues, it's firepower is undisputed.
Twin Linked Lascannon 	Las Weapon 	The twin-linked Lascannon is a might beam weapon, meant for striking down armoured threats. It uses two Lascannons fired in sequence to shred targets.
Twin Linked Heavy Bolter 	Bolter Weapon 	A twin-linked Heavy Bolter, the weapon is used to lay down a tremendous hail of fire, capable of sundering light armour and infantry with frightening ease.
Twin Linked Autocannon 	Auto Weapon 	Using twin cannons, this weapon lays down fire on armour and entrenched infantry alike, devastating them in a thunderous call of fire.
Heavy Plasma Cannon 	Plasma Weapon 	A heavy plasma cannon mounted a Dreadnought, these weapons are difficult to manufacture and maintain, but are lethal in battle, firing an orb of sunfire that wrecks everything in it's path.
Multi-Melta 	Melta Weaponry 	A massive weapon, capable of firing a lance of fire that melts through armour, through flesh, without compromise. The multi-melta is used to torch armour at short range.
Powerfist 	Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon	a massive fist, it is covered in a crackling energy field that allows it to tear armour and crush infantrymen with ease. Power fists posses enough strength to crush almost anything. To augment the weapon, it packs a storm bolter, flamer, or melta, allowing it to augment fire power. Power fists come in a variety of patterns, including more-claw like designs, and large patterns on Contemptors, that pack plasma and graviton weapons.
Hellfire Missile Launcher 	Missile Launcher 	A high-power missile launcher, it uses the Dreadnought's auto-senses to fire off salvoes of frag and krak missiles. Considered top amongst ranged weapons, it is used by Hellfire dreadnoughts.
Hurricane Bolter 	Bolter Weapon 	Using six linked bolters, the Hurricane produces a hail of fire capable of cutting down whole squads in a screaming hail of bolts. Its mounted on the Ironclad dreadnought exclusively.
Flame Storm Cannon 	Flamer 	Larger than even the heavy flamer, the Flame Storm is used to sweep infantry from defensive locations, incinerating a dozen at a time.
Seismic Hammer 	Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon	When a structure must be brought down, the seismic hammer is used to do it. Similar to a power fist, it hits with a hammer blow against structures, smashing them down with thunderous blow, after thunderous blow.
Chainfist 	Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon	Combining a power fist and chainsword, it uses a mixture of power fields and cutting teeth to cut through solid structures, cutting open bulkheads, armoured vehicles, so on.
