Chapter Summary
Background
One of the Renegade chapters that turned to Chaos after the Horus Heresy, the Extinction Angels chapter is famous for its assault skill. During the 13th Black Crusade the chapter fought alongside the Black Legion on the planet Demios Primary, where they scattered the Skitarii forces who were protecting the many forges of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The planet was liberated by the Black Templars Space Marines and it is believed that the Angels are still hidden in the lower depths.
Their armour is a dark purple with bone details and their symbol is a skull wearing a red hood, behind a grey Scythe.
