The legacy of each Space Marine Chapter is coloured heavily by the events of the Horus Heresy, but few wear the trauma of brother turning on brother than the Blood Angels. The death of Sanguinius runs through the veins of every Blood Angel, and through it, they are cursed with a deep genetic flaw that leads to violent, all-consuming madness. Those who suffer from this Black Rage become part of the Death Company, deployed as shock troopers to be redeemed by a glorious death in battle.
The Blood Angels Army Set contains a sizable force of Death Company troops, under the command of Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost and Astorath the Grim, who are reimagined in fantastic new plastic miniatures.
They are joined by 10 Jump Pack Intercessors, 10 Assault Intercessors, and a terrifying Brutalis Dreadnought. You can turn these into their Death Company variants found in the Codex with four new Blood Angels upgrade kits that are included, each of which contains a pile of sculpted shoulder pads, Terminator Sergeant components, extra weapons, heads, specific Death Company pieces for use with Mk X Tacticus armour, vehicle icons, and a whole reliquary's worth of relics and icons. To finish things off, a new Death Company transfer sheet featuring 293 transfers is included.
This set is also the first place you'll be able to get Codex Supplement: Blood Angels, with a glorious cover found only in this set that features Blood Angels artwork and red foil details. Inside you'll find all the background on the Blood Angels and their forces, alongside the rules you need to field them in battle.
Three Detachments exemplify the sons of Sanguinius' vengeful approach to war, and 15 datasheets cover their unique forces. There are also rules for a new combat patrol featuring the Sanguinary Guard, and expanded Oathsworn Campaign rules for Crusade. Finally, a set of 18 datasheet cards - three Combat Patrol and 15 regular - keeps book-keeping to a minimum during battle.
