## Race Overview

The Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter is one of the most renowned for their fury and blood lust in battle and stalwart defenders of the Emperor and the Imperium of Mankind. Always if possible rushing to the aid of those in need across the vast domain of the Imperium. One of the First Founding Legiones Astartes, the 9th Space Marine Legion led by one of the most renowned Angelic Primarch's Sanguinius. In the outbreak of the tragic Horus Heresy the 9th remained loyal to the Emperor and the Imperium of Man. At the end of the Horus Heresy, Sanguinius was killed by his brother Horus, this gave way to a terrible flaw called the Black Rage. This causes painful memories of the death of there beloved Primarch. Since the breakup of the legions into chapters the Blood Angels have tried to not let there flaws overcome them in there service making them one of the most noble chapters of Adeptus Astartes.

The Blood Angels Chapter focuses on the using relentless, surgical tactical assault, over long drawn out battles to crush the enemies of mankind. A solid selection of Adeptus Astartes, they use two forms of approach when attacking there enemies. Frontline assault or the assault infantry mobility, along side with, superior close combat skills, faster transports and effects of the Red Thirst and Black Rage to gain the upper hand against there enemies. They also have some of the most powerful Psykers and abilities. Take command of heroic legendary figures like Lord Commander Dante, Primaris Mephiston, High Priest Corbulo, Chaplain LeMartes and more.

## Playstyle

### Red Thirst

The Red Thirst is a genetic flaw possessed by all Blood Angels and their successor chapters. It causes them to be lost to a ravenous thirst for blood, throwing themselves into brutal melee combat. In Unification, if the morale of a squad breaks in melee combat, the unit will become uncontrollable until morale is restored.

### Black Rage

The Black Rage is a severe flaw of the Blood Angels geneseed that manifested upon the death of their Primarch Sanguinius. Marines become completely lost to bloodlust and believe they are Sanguinius himself in the final moments of his life, lashing out at any they can get their hands on. Blood Angles that succumb to the Black Rage are forcibly inducted into the Death Company, so they can serve until their death. In Unification, Death Company Units will take damage over time, but gain great melee strength. Only way to negate this effect is have High Priest Corbulo near, or Chaplain LeMartes added to the squad.
