Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Blood Angels (En)

Product Information

The Blood Angels are a combat focused army, able to field extremely powerful characters and specialist melee units. While they retain many options that lend their conventional Space Marine brethren tactical flexibility, the chances are that if you build a Blood Angels army, you’re going to specialise in slicing and dicing. The Blood Angels do get a unique detachment of their own, the Sons of Sanguinius . This gives them their own Detachment ability, The Red Thirst , as well as a set of Enhancements and Stratagems unique to this detachment. With the traitor Warmaster dead and Emperor of Man enshrined in living death upon the Golden Throne, Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman took the reigns of Imperial governance. To ensure that no one person could ever again command the might of a Space Marine legion, Guilliman began the reforms that created the Space Marine chapters.

Space Marines successor chapters

For Relics, you’ll be able to choose between lethal, master-crafted weapons of the Chapter and more tactical options. We love the Veritas Vitae, providing you with a great way to maximise your Command Points, while the Standard of Sacrifice combined with the Sanguinary Ancient to create a fantastic lynchpin for the rest of your forces.

Within this book you will find all the information you need to collect a Blood Angels army and field it on the tabletop. THE ANGELIC HOST: In this section of the book you will learn the glorious history of the Blood Angels, and come to understand the dark secrets that make them such noble yet tragic figures. HERALDRY OF THE HOST: This section presents a showcase of beautifully painted miniatures, displaying the colour schemes and iconography of the Blood Angels. WARRIORS OF BAAL: Here you will find datasheets, wargear lists and weapon rules for every Blood Angels unit, allowing you to field them in your games of Warhammer 40,000. SONS OF SANGUINIUS: This section provides additional rules, including Warlord Traits, Stratagems, Relics and psychic powers, as well as the matched play points costs which allow you to form your Blood Angels miniatures into a Battle-forged gaming army. III- Emperor's Children · IV- Iron Warriors · VIII- Night Lords · XII- World Eaters · XIV- Death Guard This alien super-swarm was a tendril of the unutterably vast horror known as Hive Fleet Leviathan. Its warrior organisms numbered in the hundreds of billions. Its alien hunger was insatiable. The lord of the Blood Angels, Commander Dante, recalled all those warriors he could to fight for Baal. Reinforced by many of their successor Chapters, the Blood Angels determined to stand to the last in defence of their Chapter Planet and its moons. The battle that ensued was immense. Horrific violence was unleashed on every front. Amidst the irradiated deserts of Baal, the Blood Angels fortress monastery was besieged, beset by wave upon wave of foes, while on Baal Prime and Secundus, the fighting grew ever more desperate. Hundreds of Sanguinius’ sons fell. It seemed that their end had come. At that crucial juncture, the Great Rift split wide and, when the warp storms passed, the Tyranid fleet was gone. In its place were the Imperial ships of the Indomitus Crusade. Led by Roboute Guilliman himself, the armies of the Imperium came to the aid of the beleaguered Blood Angels, and the Tyranids were defeated at last. In the battle’s wake, a time of rebuilding began. With it came hope unlooked for, and the possibility that the Blood Angels and their successors might yet be saved from their slow decline. THE ANGELIC HOST The Blood Angels have always been staunch defenders of the Imperium. Yet for all their accomplishments, they suffer from a fatal flaw. The Blood Angels carry an inner darkness that they must strive constantly to resist; it is this struggle that defines them, as much in their most glorious moments of victory as in their darkest hours of despair.

Temper, Temper!

Rules for fielding a Blood Angels 9th editionarmy are found in the Space Marines 9th Edition Warhammer 40k codex and the Blood Angels codex supplement. The Space Wolves are also potent close combat specialists, but trade the refined grace of the Blood Angels for savage barbarian assaults and potent mysticism . All in the name of the Emperor, of course – no need to call the Inquisitor. Sanguinary Discipline: 6 psychic powers available to any Blood Angels model with the Psyker keyword

Formerly known as theX Legion Astartes, the Iron HandsChapterhave a closer affinity with the technology-loving machine cult of the Adeptus Mechanicus than any other Space Marine Chapter, orperhapsany other branch of the Imperium. In battle, they’re renowned for fielding large numbers of tanks, Dreadnoughts, and other war machines, as opposed to massed infantry – and for encouraging augmetic body part replacements(or improvements, depending on your point of view) among their Space Marines. The First Company is composed of the Chapter's Veterans, warriors with experience forged in countless battles throughout the Imperium and trained in the use of sacred suits of Terminator Armour, while the second to fifth are the Battle Companies who carry the weight of the Chapter's combat duties. [4b] The enemies of the Emperor came to fear the swift and crushing onset of the Blood Angels Legiones Astartes. When Horus and his allies rebelled, their Traitor Legions came to know that fear for themselves. The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. Note 1: Space Hulk: Tactics doesn't specify when the story exactly happens, it just says "closing years of the M41". Other sources can give us more information: Karlaen had been First Captain for two centuries in 999.M41, this means Ubaldo could have been First Captain until 799.M41. The main characters in the campaign already know of the Tyranids. This means the First Tyrannic War has already happened and the story is set between 742.M41 and 799.M41.

Painting Blood Angels

A number of wargear items used by the Blood Angels have been improved. The magna-grapples that can be mounted on Furioso and Death Company Dreadnoughts, for example, are a lot of fun! M41: The Cryptus Campaign — Commander Dante leads much of the Blood Angels and their successors against the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan, which have massed in such force that Baal itself is threatened.
