Angels Sanguine

The Angels Sanguine are a Loyalist Chapter of Space Marines and a Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels.

Chapter History
It is said that beneath the gleaming masks of the Angels Sanguine is a will of iron; but the truth is somewhat darker. The Angels Sanguine are known never to remove their masks in the presence of anyone outside their Chapter. Even amongst their battle-brothers, their faces are usually hooded. What drives the Chapter's Battle-Brothers to shield their faces from the gaze of others, never removing their helms save for in the privacy of their fortress monastery? And what is the secret of the catacombs that lie beneath the Chapter's home? Their terrible secret, called the Red Thirst, is that Angels Sanguine Marines develop an overpowering physiological need to drink blood because of the mutation of their gene-seed, a not uncommon problem for the heirs of Sanguinius. This shameful truth is known only to a few souls outside of the Chapter. Despite this flaw, they have a long and glorious history of service to the Imperium of Man.

Notable Battles
The Angels Sanguine fielded 7 companies during the Eye of Terror worldwide campaign in the defense of the Cadian Gate from Abaddon the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade. Supported the Blood Angels on Baal during the recent conclave meeting of the Sanguinius bloodline, called by Chapter Master Dante to discuss the fate of the Founding Chapter. Assisted in the defence of the remains of the Primarch himself.

Chapter Organisation
The Angels Sanguine use the same organization scheme as the Blood Angels as outlined in Codex Blood Angels. As such, they are considered a partially Codex Astartes-compliant Chapter.

Chapter Appearance
The Angels Sanguine's Power Armour is halved red and black with a yellow Imperialis symbol on the chest plate.

The Chapter's badge is a red-winged skull.
