==The General Structure==
The book has 24 pages and the cover is printed in colour while the majority of the book remains in black and white, although there are several pages of colour images of miniatures.
===Background===
== THE BLOOD ANGELS == 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.
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==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.
