Angels Porphyr

Overview
The Angels Porphyr Space Marine Chapter was founded during the 31st Millennium, their origin unknown. There is some controversy surrounding this Chapter. Many fans believe the Angels Porphyr and Eagle Warriors are in fact the same Chapter.

History
In M40.991 the Angels Porphyr Chapter participated in the Third War for Armageddon. When the Ork Warboss Ghazkull Mag Uruk Thraka led a second unsuccessful Waaagh against the planet. Dreadnought Brother Damos led the defence of Ghattana, Armageddon's Water Processing Plant. He and seven other Brother-Dreadnoughts stood their ground against over one hundred Ork war machines. They prevailed with the help of nine other Dreadnoughts from other Chapters and defended the Plant from Ork attacks. Of the seventeen Dreadnoughts, nine were destroyed and along with them over 9,000 years of combat experience.

Controversy about Chapter
The Chapter appears almost identical to the 'Eagle Warriors' chapter, the only differences being the chapter badge (Eagle Warriors simply have a blue wing). This leads many to believe the Angels Porphyr and Eagle Warriors to be the same chapter, however, both chapters appear in How To Paint Space Marines.



Chapter Colors
Their power armor is halved blue and white, with pad trims matching the pad.

Chapter Symbol
The Chapter symbol is the profile of a winged skull, and other skull icons are often incorporated into their armor.

Company Colors
According to Insignium Astartes the Eagle Warriors denote company by the color of the left knee pad, it would seem from How To Paint Space Marines that the Angels Porphyr denote company in the same manner.
