Angels Porphyr

The Angels Porphyr are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter that was Founded during the 31st Millennium, though their specific Founding and Chapter of origin remain unknown.

Notable Campaigns

 * Third War for Armageddon (998.M41) - In 998.M41 the Angels Porphyr Chapter deployed 8 companies in the Third War for Armageddon. When the Ork Warboss Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka led a second unsuccessful WAAAGH! against that strategic hive world, Dreadnought Brother Damos led the defence of Ghattana, Armageddon's main water processing plant. He and seven other Dreadnoughts of the Angels Porphyr stood their ground against over one hundred Ork war machines. They prevailed with the help of nine other Dreadnoughts from other Space Marine Chapters and successfully defended the plant from Ork attacks. Of the seventeen Dreadnoughts, nine were destroyed and along with them over 9,000 cumulative years of combat experience.

Chapter Colours
The Angels Porphyr Power Armour is halved blue and white, with a yellow Imperialis or Aquila symbol on the chest and a different coloured knee plate on the left knee, the colour of which varies depending on the company designation of the Space Marine.

Chapter Badge
The Chapter badge is the profile of a winged skull (rather than the Imperialis, where the skull is face-forwards), and other skull icons are often incorporated into their armour.

Controversy about Chapter
The Angels Porphyr Chapter appears almost identical to the Eagle Warriors Chapter, the only differences being the Chapter badge (the Eagle Warriors have only a blue wing). This leads many Warhammer 40,000 fans to believe the Angels Porphyr and Eagle Warriors to be the same Chapter. However, both Chapters appear separately in How to Paint Space Marines, which should probably settle the matter as to whether the two are actually separate Chapters.
