"*Blood Brothers! Sons of Sanguinius! warriors of the Golden Throne! let the foul xenos learn the fury of mankind! Mark them, hunt them, and slaughter every last of them! Until the last man and the last blood!* "
—Speech of Chapter Master Liziaro before the Devastation Baal
**Angel's Litany** are a Loyalist semi *Codex*-compliant Successor Chapter created from the proud Sons of Sanguinius during the 4th Founding, shortly after the infamous War of the Beast. Angel's Litany is created following the liberation of Ragrin System from the Forces of Chaos led by House Moghal, and the Chaos Cult known as the Blooded Fist of Maurha. The Chapter exclusively recruits its members from the Hive World Kandyra and the surrounding planets of Ragrin System. The Chapter is known for its Flamestorm Cannon innovation, usage of Azkaellon Pattern Bolts, a Bolt filled with an intense, energetic beam of heat in the tens of thousands of degrees Centigrade as well as the unusually large quantity of Sanguinary Guard armed with Power Glaives and Power Axes.

## Chapter History

The Angel's Litany history dates back to the liberation of Ragrin System. It is told that the Blood Angel's 5th Company, 1st Tactical Squad and 2nd Assault Squad led by Chaplain Andralos the Pious had successfully slain a Bloodthirster, Norkac the Brimfist, and slaughter the entire Chaos Cult, the infamous Blooded Fist of Maurha within four months.

Once the fearless Blood Angels return to Baal, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, under commendation from the Sanguinary Guard Captain Tyros Valkorion, bestowed an honor upon Chaplain Andralos to become the first chapter master of the Angel's Litany and thus, the Chapter was formed and a Fortress-Monastery was built upon the Death World of Kandyra at the site where the *Armour of Azkaellon*, the famed chief Sanguinary Guard of the Great Angel, was found.

Like all the Blood Angels Successors, the Angels Litany shared the traits of the Blood Angels. But unlike most battle brothers that succumb to the Black Rage with ease. The Angel's Litany utilize a serum known as Abraxchloroquine to stabilize the Black Rage and slow down the gene seed flaw.

At beginning of M42. Following the ends of Devastation of Baal, the Angel's Litany receive 400 Strong Primaris Astartes reinforcements led by Primaris Captain Ernestion Foulk and Primaris Chaplain Davriton.

## Chapter Homeworld

Kandyra is a Death World filled with toxic wastelands, irradiated forests, and prometheum bogs. The ever warring Techno Barbarians dot the planet's landscape with their radiation free and void shield fortresses.

Kandyra's Northern region is filled with heavily irradiated prairies and forests filled with giant mutated plants and grassess. The west and south lies a less radiated prometheum bogs and swamps filled with deadly insects and slime prometheum fish. The East of the planet is a toxic wastelands where no plants but carnivorous cactuses grow.

The Death World's techno barbarian human tribes are living in a clan and kingdoms and each equipped with power spears, autoguns, toxic crossbow bolts and darts, a heavy plate armor, makeshift prometheum jetbikes and wartrucks. The greatest monument erected by the human inhabitants were a gladitorial arena known as the Angel's Forge. Where the local clans will compete and the winners of the arena will be ascended as an Adeptus Astartes.

### Fortress-Monastery

At the east end of the wasteland, an Angel's Litany Fortress Monastery the 'Wings of Azkaellon' is built. These fortressess cannot be reached by mere humans due to its location at the most irradiated place in Kandyra. The Fortress Monastery is quite smaller than most Fortressess of Adeptus Astartes but its wonder lies on its underground convents and chapel barracks that could house a full chapter of Space Marines and a suitable area to train Sanguinary Guards.

The Fortress Monastery is built on the site where the *Armour of Azkaellon*, the famed chief Sanguinary Guard of the Great Angel, was found. At the same time, the excavators also detect a buried Chapel Barracks where it used to serve as the Blood Angels Legiones Astartes training ground for the Sanguinary Guard.

One of the top wonders of the Wings of Azkaellon is its vast underground Ultrahydrophonic Farm that enables the Chapter to provide their own food rather than supplied by neighbouring Agri-Worlds. The second wonder of the Fortress Monastery is is Belfortian Forge, a large forge used to craft Artificier Sanguinary Armor, its Death Mask, and its weaponry.

### Chapter Recruitment

The Angel's Litany recruit its aspirants through two methods. The first one is the gladitorial matches conducted at the largest colloseum known as the Angel's Forge. Thousands of local tribe and kingdom warriors will be selected to fight one another until twenty victors remained. The victors will be given his first Combat Knife and a Black Carapace implant as a symbol of the fully fledge Battle Brothers.

The second methods is the handpick recruits.This method is used when the chapter is in sore need of fresh recruits. The chaplains will decent upon local tribes and kingdom fortressess and will choose any human warriors and potential recruits with a psychotic battle lust, a great weapon skills, an intelligent and talented person with mastery of war and its tactics, and any adolescent youths with insane bravery. The aspirants then trained and after 8 Terran months, should fought the Kandyran Ambull, a hyper aggresive toxic infused creature. Should the aspirants brought back the heads or fangs of the Kandyran Ambull, he became a fully fledge Battle Brothers and given a Black Carapace and his personal Combat Knife from the Chapter.

## Combat Doctrine

Angel's Litany Chapter is known for its classical Lightning Assault that came from their forefather's combat doctrine. But the speciality of this lies on the usage of Azkaellon Pattern Bolts, a Bolt filled with an intense, energetic beam of heat that could melt a Predator Hull with ease but with longer range than a Melta Gun. Enabling the chapter's Astartes to gun down vehicles from longer range while hacking through the enemy formation.

The Chapter's large amount of Sanguinary Guards caught the attention from the High Lords of Terra. Angel's Litany possess 200 Sanguinary Guard led by Exalted Captain Aldo Ezkiron. Each Sanguinary Guard is equipped with Angelus Bolter and Flaming Glaive Encarmine. The High Lords of Terra tolerate the numbers of Sanguinary Guard as long as Angel's Litany Astartes did not exceed 800 Battle Brothers.

Following the end of Devastation of Baal, The chapter's Battle Brother diminished to only 20 Sanguinary Guard and 200 Battle Brothers. Thus to regain their strength the Chapter welcomed 250 Primaris Astartes to their ranks, creating 2 Primaris Companies (4th and 5th) for the Chapter.

The 1st Company is a mixed Firstborn and Primaris company where 40 Primaris Veterans served as Bladeguard Veterans while the reamining 60 Firstborn Astartes are equipped with relic Tartaros Pattern and Cataphractii Terminator Armor.

The Flaming Glaive Encarmine is also equipped among Veteran Sergeants of the chapter's Firstborn and Primaris Astartes.

The Chapter is also known for its innovation, creating a new Kandyra Pattern Gladiator equipped with Laser Destroyer, and Flame Storm Cannon.

The Chapter's Redemptor Dreadnought is equipped with Twin Flamestorm Cannon as its right hand weapon.

Unlike most Space Marine Chapters, Angel's Litany Astartes does not wear service studs on their forehead.

The Chapter's Death Company are counted as part of the Reserve Company. Uniquely, Angel's Litany Death Company is led by co-ruler Captain and Chaplain.

The Chapter's discovery of Abraxchloroquine serum enables them to slow down the Black Rage does enable the chapter to keep their Death Company in stable numbers. The Abraxchloroquine substances are discovered from the harvesting process of Kandyran Red Bird, a batlike creatures with long poisonous tails native to Kandyran irradiated jungles. Its mucus and excrements are known to contain half dose of Abraxchloroquine, thus the Fortress Monastery created a small aviary to breed and harvest such animals in order to create the serum.

## Chapter Gene-Seed

Like the Blood Angels and their successors of all the warriors of the *Legiones Astartes*, evidenced perhaps the greatest degree of transformation of their flesh from their human origins to the Space Marines they would become. The aggressive over-writing of the aspirant's gene-helix by the blood of the Primarch was capable of transfiguring the rad-scarred and twisted inhabitants of Baal to create "perfected" warriors, living icons of the physical ideal of the *Legiones Astartes*, each one an echo of their Primarch, called "*the Angel*", Sanguinius in his fearsome glory. There was a price however for this power, and the process of transformation was a more arcane, elaborate and painful one than that endured by any other Legion. Even with the direct infusion of its Primarch's own blood to stabilise the process, the rate of fatalities among aspirants was frighteningly high. There were also those who argued that the mental scars suffered by those who survived the change were just as deep, instilling a sense of cause and purpose that manifested as unflinching, unreasoning fanaticism bordering on madness, a certainty which could in mere moments turn to insane fury when that purpose was challenged.

#### Primarch's Curse: Twin-Curses

The Angel's Litany carry with them the twin genetic curses of Sanguinius. Known as The Flaw, these genetic curses known separately as the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. The Flaw of the Blood Angels has also been attributed to a combination of the genetic defects in the Legion's Omophagea gene-seed organ implant, and the psychic disturbance created during the final seconds of Sanguinius' life. During the battles of the Horus Heresy on Terra and Mars, the stored gene-seed imprint of the Blood Angels was lost, forcing the Legion to have to extract the gene-seed needed for their reconstruction after the Heresy from the fallen body of their Primarch himself. Every Space Marine created from the gene-seed drawn from Sanguinius after his death was doomed to fall to the Flaw.

#### The Red Thirst

Deep within the psyche of every Angel's Litany is a destructive yearning, a battle fury and blood-hunger that must be held in abeyance in every waking moment. Few Battle-Brothers can hold this Red Thirst in check unceasingly -- it is far from unknown for Blood Angels to temporarily succumb to its lure at the height of battle. The Red Thirst is the Blood Angels' darkest secret and greatest curse, but it is also their greatest salvation, for it brings with it a humility and understanding of their own failings which make them truly the most noble of the Space Marines.

#### The Black Rage

The Angel's Litany suffer from the psychic imprint left by Sanguinius' death (or by the daemonic "wound" caused on Signus Prime). This can cause them to go insane prior to or during battle and feel the rage that Sanguinius himself felt during the Battle of Terra. Rather than let them face a slow, insane death, Angel's Litany will form those who have newly succumbed to the Black Rage into a special unit known as the Death Company.

They wear specially painted black Power Armour, and are often led by the few Chapter officers, notably Angel's Litany Chaplains, who are still able to communicate orders to the insane troops and who are still obeyed by them, perhaps because Chaplains directly represent the authority of the Emperor. The members of the Death Company are then sent out to perform the most dangerous assaults, hoping for a quick and honourable death in combat.

## Deathwatch Service

The Angel's Litary have been committing Battle-Brothers to the Deathwatch for millennia. In most cases however, the Space Marine has stood but a single vigil before returning to his parent Chapter. It is whispered by some that the Chapter only ever allows its brethren to stand the Long Watch if and when it suits them. But the truth of the matter, because of the Twin-Curses of the chapter, the Angel's Litary will only send a handful of their battle-brothers to the Deathwatch. One of the well-known members of Angel's Litany who serve in the Deathwatch were Librarian Smardo Kovelli, and Brother Tinteas One-Eye.
