Background
THE BLOOD ANGELS
All Space Marines are held in awe and dread by the citizens of the Imperium. To most they are aloof: distant avenging angels who bring ruination and destruction upon the heads of the Emperor's enemies. Yet even amongst the battle-eager Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, the Blood Angels have a fearsome reputation.
One of the celebrated First Founding Chapters, the Blood Angels have fought the enemies of mankind for ten long millennia. Their Primarch, the noble Sanguinius, is revered across the Imperium as a mighty hero and legends of the Chapter's deeds have reached every corner of the galaxy.
However, tales abound of their bloodthirsty exploits and stories of the dark flaw which mar them. Few know the whole truth or realise the inner pain and anguish that drives the Blood Angels into battle with a righteous fury that few others can match.
THE BLACK RAGE
Blood angels are gripped by the spirit of Sanguinius and are prone to entering a berserk frenzy of bloodletting in battle. This is terrifying to behold as they unleash their righteous fury, butchering any enemy that lie in their path.
The Death Company
On the eve of battle, the Blood Angels kneel in prayer and their thoughts turn to their Primarch. Some are overcome by the gene-memory of their Primarch's violent death and succumb to the Black Rage.
