Blood Angels
Unleash the Fury of the Blood Angels
The Blood Angels are one of the most revered, tragic, and visually stunning Chapters of Space Marines in Warhammer 40k. Striking from the heavens with angelic grace, they are noble artists and protectors of humanity. However, beneath their beautiful exterior lies a dark and terrible curse: the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. Flung into a genetic madness where they believe they are their dying Primarch, Sanguinius, these warriors balance supreme nobility with a terrifying, bloodthirsty savagery on the battlefield.
How Do the Blood Angels Play? (Playstyle Overview)
If you love a high-speed, hyper-aggressive army that dominates the combat phase and shreds enemies with melee weapons, the Blood Angels are an absolute blast to play. For beginners, their tabletop playstyle centers on three main mechanics:
- Savage Shock Assaults: Blood Angels live to charge. Their unique chapter rules grant them massive bonuses to their wound rolls and extra attacks whenever they successfully charge into combat, allowing even basic troops to punch through heavy enemy armor.
- Death from Above: They heavily utilize Jump Packs. A classic Blood Angels army features waves of airborne infantry—like the elite Sanguinary Guard or jump-pack-equipped Intercessors—streaking across the board to strike the enemy's most vulnerable weak points instantly.
- The Death Company: This unique, iconic unit represents the marines who have completely fallen to the Black Rage. On the tabletop, they are absolute glass cannons—completely fearless, ignoring pain, and unleashing an unparalleled blender of melee attacks before they finally go down.
