Chalice Overflowing – 1CP –Use in your Command phase; one Sanguinary Priest can use the Blood Chalice ability an additional time this phase. Blood Chalice is good and even better now that it definitely gets you the Savage Echoes buff, so this is a good way to spend 1CP powering up two of your key melee units early on. A What do you think about the new Dante model? Are you excited to see what else is on the way for Blood Angels?

The Blood Angels have a long history in Warhammer 40k, appearing as one of the original Chapters in the Rogue Trader book, and then being the cover stars of the 2nd edition starter set and getting joint-billing with the Dark Angels in the classic Codex: Angels of Death. Along with the Dark Angels and Space Wolves they’ve been perennial rules-getters, whether in the form of the 3rd edition supplements, 4th edition White Dwarf rules, or their own full-blown codexes in 5th, 7th, and 8th edition. Along the way they’ve gathered a fistful of unique units and even more unique characters representing the entire Chapter Command, including their very own vampire lord and guardian angel. It’s fair to say they’re a popular Chapter both with players and in the Games Workshop studio. In 9th edition, they return to their 3rd edition form, once again becoming a Chapter supplement to the main Codex: Space Marines. Psychic Powers: The most powerful psyker among the Blood Angels, and a contender for the most powerful among the Space Marines. Angelsword — Death Company Stormraven Gunship, took part in the Diamor Campaign on the planet Amethal. [37b]

Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Older than most Astartes by many centuries, there is a part of him that longs for rest. But prophecies from the age of Sanguinius foretell a time when the Emperor will be in grave peril and depend on a golden warrior to defend him. Dante believes there is at least a chance this refers to him, so he will not let himself die until this has come to pass. The Devastation of Baal strongly implies that the spirit of Sanguinius himself will not let Dante die. This is one of the most ornate and impressive Primaris Space Marine miniatures yet made, a model that truly befits the heir of Sanguinius. Just see how much bigger he is now than in his earlier incarnation. The Blood Angels will spare no effort to attain the material needed to create the Chapter's art and have even fought wars to obtain them. This includes Bloodstone gems, from the deep caves of the Cruor Mountain on Baal and the larvae of the Spinewyrm fauna. Bloodthirsty sand clams are also needed, as the white pigment used to paint the Chapter's angel wings, can only be obtained by crushing clams' shells. [57c] Tactics M41: First Captain Ubaldo leads a force from the 1st Company to Gorgonum, aiding this Forge World against the Forsaken Doom, a Genestealer-infested space hulk. [42] [Note 1] So Commander Dante, Azrael, Farsight, and a new named Daemon Prince model that we assume is Vashtorr? That’s a strong list that will get fans all Warhammer 40k factions hype once they roll around (if the rumors turn out to be true)!

RUMORS: Commander Dante & 4 New HQ Models For Warhammer 40k

Raldoron — First Captain and Chapter Master of the Protectors, [15] later Chapter Master of the Blood Angels [20a] Close combat. The introductory paragraph kind of gave it away here. Your Chapter tactic, Doctrine, and unit selection all push you very hard into melee tactics, and it’s where the book excels. Something that’s very important to 9th edition play is having a good idea of what secondaries you’re intending on leaning on. As mentioned in the secondaries section, Fury of the Lost and Relentless Assault are both very high-scoring, and building your list to capably take advantage of that can be a big help in getting the most out of Blood Angels – let’s see how the lists look to support that. Lists Sanguinary Ancient [7 PL, -2CP, 110pts]: 3. Soulwarden, Angelus boltgun, Encarmine sword, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter, Stratagem: Relic of the Chapter, Wrath of Baal If the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Tactical Doctrine is now active.

Visage of Deat h. An interesting one; it’s effectively a death mask, making the bearer -1 to hit in melee, and also allows them to turn off Objective Secured for enemy units within 3″. Stripping your enemy of the ability to hold objectives can really help you lean in to the elite-focused Blood Angels playstyle, and the dual defensive effect is neat too. B+ The Blood Angels are also able to field a highly specialized force against overwhelming infantry known as a Deathstorm Strike Force and it is only deployed in the most dire of situations. [13] Recruitment In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, heroes like Dante were points of light in the growing darkness. He stood, as he had done for a millennium or more, between the enemies of Mankind and the Imperium. [3] Dante is the current Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. Commander Dante is one of the most experienced and able Space Marine commanders. In no small part, this is due to the longevity of the Blood Angels, which he has ruled for 1,100 years. Dante is the oldest living Space Marine in the Imperium (excluding Dreadnoughts) and is held in awe by leaders of other Chapters, who can remember him being a famous commander when they were in the Scout Company. Among the Chapter, it is customary of the mighty Blood Angels leaders to be accompanied by an Honour Guard of dedicated warriors. Its members are often distinguished individuals or the most accomplished Veteran Marines of the Chapter; warriors with full access to the armoury of the Blood Angels. As a result, the Honour Guard are normally well equipped and ably transported. Sanguinary Priests and Techmarines may be found within an Honour Guard, as can Standard-Bearers. When operating as Honour Guard for a Company Commander, one member of the Guard may be nominated as Blood Champion. [3] Honour Guard wear gold helmets. [Needs Citation] The Sanguinary GuardTo his fellow Chapter Masters, Dante is an exemplar of the fearlessness, dedication and strategic genius that speak to the heart of the Space Marines' never-ending mission. To the hard-pressed generals and marshals of the Imperial Guard he is a thrice-welcomed and honoured ally who stands at the forefront of Mankind's defence. To the common soldiers and citizens of the Imperium, Dante is nothing less than a saviour, a golden god who descends from the heavens on wings of fire. Gehenna Campaign (955.M41) - Lord Commander Dante and the 3rd Company battle against the Necron Legions of the Silent King amidst the dusty wastes of Gehenna. For three solar weeks, neither side can seize the upper hand, with Dante's tactical brilliance stretched to its limits in countering the time-space manipulations of the Silent King. The stalemate is broken only when a Tyranid splinter fleet enters orbit, forcing the two armies to break off hostilities and fight the common foe. The impromptu alliance proves to be the Tyranids' undoing. Following the final battle at Devil's Crag, Dante and the Silent King go their separate ways, both forces now too battleworn to guarantee victory over the other, and, at least for the Blood Angels, the idea of turning on those they had so recently fought alongside, a rather distasteful one.
