*The [[Flesh Tearers]] have a more positive view of their Death Company, viewing it the Black Rage as a core part of their identity.{{Fn|15a}} Much of their Death Company was wiped out during the [[Devastation of Baal]] and chaos of the [[Great Rift]], but [[Chaplain]] [[Dumah]] is overseeing a raising of a new force.{{Fn|15a}} This new Death Company decisively turned the tide of the [[Battle of Cretacia]] for the Flesh Tearers.{{Fn|15b}} Contrary to most Chapters of Sanguinius's lineage, the Flesh Tearers don't kill members of their Death Company that have survived a battle. Rather, they are kept alive, passing through multiple battles until they die in combat. Because of this, the Flesh Tearers' Death Company is extraordinarily large compared to other Chapters.{{Fn|17}}
*The [[Angels Encarmine]] colour their Death Company in alabaster white with black backpacks.{{Fn|1c}} While it has been stated that the [[Flesh Tearers]]' Death Company follow the same colour schemes as the Blood Angels'{{Fn|1c}}, their Death Company have been shown coloured pale grey with red helmets, backpacks and pauldrons.{{Fn|7}} The [[Lamentors]], who for a long time did not suffer from the Black Rage, have been shown painting their Death Company in quartered black and yellow colours.{{Fn|8}}
*The [[Angels Numinous]] are known to have little regard for their [[Battle Brother]]s afflicted with the [[Black Rage]]{{Fn|8}}, as the Chapter believes that only the weak fall into its embrace. As a result of this, the Angels Numinous refuse to honour their Death Companies as the Blood Angels do, and instead consider them to be nothing but a shameful embarrassment to their pure and noble Chapter.{{Fn|9}} When the Angels Numinous go to battle, the Death Companies are hurled into the fray with no concern for their lives and are simply used as a blunt instrument to break enemy front lines.{{Fn|8}}
*Within the [[Angels Sanguine]], the brothers who enter the [[Black Rage]] are strapped to the [[Tablet of Lestrallio]], in the Chapter's [[Fortress Monastery]]. Those who regain their senses are presented with the [[Shroud of Lemartes]], as a symbol of their mastery of the Black Rage.{{Fn|10}} Those who fall within its grasp are imprisoned within the [[Tower of the Lost]], which is located in the Angels Sanguine's [[Fortress Monastery]].{{Fn|8}}
