==Chapter Cult==
The Fire Angels are a rare example of a [[Chapter#Theist_ChaptersTheist Chapters|theist chapter]], whose [[Space_MarinesSpace Marines#Chapter_cultChapter cult|Chapter Cult]] embraces the [[Imperial Creed]] as an unassailable truth, viewing themselves as holy warriors in service to the divine [[God Emperor]]. Uniquely, they do not revere [[Roboute Guilliman|their ancestral primarch]] as a [[living saint]], believing this to be a form of idolatry, instead viewing him as an exceptional warrior. They tend to rely on "basic" Imperial technology and codex equipment, such as [[Rhino]]s and [[Predator]]s, while their [[1st Company]] is mostly composed of [[Sternguard Veteran]]s rather than [[Terminator]]s.{{Fn|1b}} Despite this, their armoury on [[Lorin Alpha]] is sophisticated enough to churn out large amounts of tanks such as the Predator, [[Vindicator]], and [[Whirlwind]], which the Fire Angels wield disproportionate numbers of.{{Fn|1a}}
Known as a conservative chapter the Fire Angels are strict adherents to the [[Codex Astartes]]. Due to their belief that the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] is a god, they share many links with the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and regularly fight alongside the [[Sisters of Battle]].{{Fn|4}}
The Fire Angels see discipline and holy duty as higher virtues than individual glory, and they tend to rely on rigid strategic doctrines that they rarely deviate from. Their [[Tactical Squad]]s tend to wield disproportionate amounts of [[Heavy Bolter]]s, their [[Fire Support Squad]]s [[Melta Weapon]]s, and their [[Assault Squad]]s [[Flamer]]s. They also tend to favor favour using swords over any other close-combat weapon type, seeing it as a symbol of spiritual strength.{{Fn|1a}}
