The Blood Angels are one of the most revered of all the original Space Marine Legions, but are also the bearers of a terrible curse caused by the death of their beloved Primarch, Sanguinius. As one of the oldest and most successful Chapters, they have a proud heritage, culture, and aesthetic that diverges from what is now considered standard. They celebrate their beauty, but do not shy away from their savage nature in the heat of battle.
Codex Supplement: Blood Angels is your essential guide to using the Sons of Sanguinius and their successor Chapters in your games of Warhammer 40,000, as well as collecting, building, and painting them. When combined with the contents of Codex: Space Marines, you’ll be able to build an army with their own fighting style, specialised units, and unique formations. You'll also find everything you need to use them in narrative Crusade games and games of Combat Patrol. The book is loaded with artwork, stunning examples of painted miniatures, and fascinating background material to inspire you.
Inside this 104-page hardback book, you'll find:
– History and background of the Sons of Sanguinius, starting with their glorious origins in the Age of Darkness, to the death of their beloved Primarch, and its effects on the current Chapter
