Angels Encarmine

The Angels Encarmine are a Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels. This Chapter is very rarely at full strength due to their highly active nature.

Chapter History
Amongst the Astartes, it is said that no other Chapter is as active or in combat as often as the Angels Encarmine. Their Chapter Master, Castellan Zargo, is forever seeking opportunities to lead his Chapter on campaign against the enemies of Mankind. As a result, this eternal crusade has led to a high rate of attrition amongst the ranks of the Chapter's Battle-Brothers, resulting in the Angels Encarmine rarely being at full strength. Though this Chapter may lack significant numbers of active Astartes, they more than make up for this with their determined fervor in battle. Like their genetic primogenitors, this Chapter also suffers from the genetic Flaws of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. Those Angels Encarmine afflicted by the Black Rage are placed in a Death Company similar to that deployed by the Blood Angels. It has been noted that this company rarely has less than 30 Astartes. This implies that there is an increasing instability within the Chapter's gene-seed.
