The Blood Angels are among the most revered of the original Space Marine Legions, yet they carry the burden of a terrible curse brought about by the death of their beloved Primarch, Sanguinius. As one of the oldest and most accomplished Chapters, they boast a proud heritage, distinctive culture, and a striking aesthetic that sets them apart from the standard. While they honor their pursuit of beauty, they also embrace their savage nature when unleashed in battle.
Codex Supplement: Blood Angels is your comprehensive guide to fielding the Sons of Sanguinius and their successor Chapters in Warhammer 40,000. It offers detailed insights into collecting, building, and painting your army, and, when used alongside the Codex: Space Marines, allows you to craft an army with a unique fighting style, specialized units, and powerful formations. You’ll also find everything you need to use them in narrative Crusade games and fast-paced Combat Patrol skirmishes. This tome is filled with rich artwork, beautifully painted miniatures, and deep lore to fuel your inspiration.
