This Chapter, once the most golden ard blessed ofall, now shuns * the company of its fellows. Some Blood ‘Angels, itis said, ae driven by a death- ‘seeking madness, brought on by visions of the death oftheir Primarch. Others are aflicted by the terible Red Thist, a craving for blood that may be the descent into Chaos. It is known thatthe Blood Angels spend much oftheir time seeking the cure for their condition, although many have resigned themselves to thal is used to create each new 2 of Blood Angels, forthe Blood se a process known as \ WARHAMMER / aL The process was originally tiggered by. sjecting Aspirants with tiny samples of Sanguinius’s own blood. This practice ended with the death ofthe Primarch, but some of his blood was preserved in the Red Grail The living blood could not be kept for long and thus was injected into the veins of the Sanguinary Priests, who became living hosts to the power of Sanguinius. To this day, drinking the collected blood of the assembled Sanguinary Priests from the Red ail is part of the ritual of creation for new ‘members of this important order. Its from these Priests that the blood i taken to begin the tansformation of Aspirants ‘Marines. ts possible thal, over countless generalions since the time of the Heresy, these cells have mutated, slowly at first but more quickly in recent lc ra, ues fever Blood ‘eed, ata DwThe Black Rage The Blood Angels are unique in that deeply Be exgevcl wit ther pemesond he ‘memory of the final bate between ‘Sanguinius and Horus. Some ‘memory. This happens only rarely, often on the eve of bale, but itis likely to be a fatal experience for the batle-brother whose mind is wrenched into the distant past. What has become known as the Black Rage overcomes him. The memories and consciousness of Sanguinius intrude upon. his mind, and dire events 10,000 years old flood into the present. To others, a Space Marine overcome by" the Black Rage appears half mad with fury. He is unable to distinguish past from present and does not recognize his. ‘comrades. As well as Sanguinius' ‘memories, the Space Marine is touched with a small portion of his unearthly power, boosting his strength and vitality to superhuman levels. The Red Thirst is the Blood Angels’ darkest secret and. , greatest curse, but it is also their greatest salvation. Blood Angels aflicied by the Black Rage are formed into special units called the Death Company. Suffused with the dying memories of their Chapter’s Primarch, these cursed warriors seek only death in batile against the enemies of the See Clipe ciciatiay Cece eid eet tint Emperor. Its Better this way, for those who survive almost always fall victifh to the Red Thirst and'tum into creatures no better than Id beasts craving flesh and blood. Better by far to die cleanly and quickly in battle than sutfer such a fate. The Red Thirst ‘The Red Thirst is the Blood Angels’ darkest secret and greatest curse, but its also their greaiest salvation, fr it brings withit a humility and understanding of their own failings that make the Blood Angels the most truly noble of the Legiones Astartes. It is sad that Sanguinius was cursed with the Bit of prophesy and knew he was to die at Honus's hand but went anyway in the name of duty and honor. Meny Blood. ‘Angels batile constantly against visions of death and feel the anguish of sheir Primarch in his death throes. Some of these brethren voluntarily join the Death ‘Company before the Black Rage takes them, because they know what lies in store for thém should they live much longer. © The fate of those overtaken completely by the Red Thirst isa secret kept dutifully within the Chapter. There are tales of a secret chamber aiop the Tower of Amareo (on Baal and of the howling cries that demand the blood of the living, but none are willing to say for certain what lies hidden in this haunted, desolate place. The Chapter Today Physically, the Blood Angels are among the longest lived of all Space Marines. One of the peculiarities ofthe Flaw is that it vasly increases the lifespan of those who survive. Thus, itis not uncommon for Blood Angels to lve fora thousand years. Indeed, the current Commander of the Chapter, Dante, was bom nearly 1,100 years ago. These vastly extended lifespans allow the Blood “Angels to perfect their techniques in art as well asin war. They have centuries in which to periect the disciplines to which they turn their minds, accounting for the fact thatthe Blood Angels’ armor and banners are among the most ornate ever produced by Space Matine artificers. The outlook of Sanguinius has done much to shape his Chapter. There is a mystical vein to many of the Blood Angels’ doctrines and alsa a song belief that things can be changed forthe better, for Sanguinius was a visionary who desired a ‘new and better life forall Mankind. This belief can be seen in all things the Blood Angels do. They srive for perfection, and their martial disciplines are practiced unceasingly. However, as the Flaw has become more evident, this belief has turned into an altogether datker thing. They ‘ako see evidence of Mankind’s capacity for folly and destruction, and the Chapier's docirines are permeated with a sense of morality and the fallen greatness of Man.(Seat Ae rT eT os SE the unique elements used by the Blood Angels - their weapons, units, and famous special characters.
