Angels of Retribution Chapter Colour Scheme
The Angels of Retribution were a Codex Astartes-compliant Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and origin. Almost nothing is known about this Chapter in the Imperial records. The Adeptus Astartes and the agents of the Officio Assassinorum have never seen eye to eye, despite the fact that their ultimate goal is essentially the same. Because of the longstanding warrior traditions and codes of honour by which the Space Marines operate, the vast majority of Chapters see the Assassin's trade as distasteful at best. Though the Officio's operatives have fought alongside the Space Marines on countless battlefields across the Imperium, there are several incidences in the history of the Adeptus Astartes where Assassins have been implicated as enemies rather than allies. The Officio Assassinorum is suspected in the involvement of the Chapter's demise. A strangely empty set of early-model Power Armour was discovered near the site of the ambush at Alantor X, where the Angels of Retribution fell to a man.
Chapter Appearance
Chapter Colours
The Angels of Retributon primarily wore dark grey coloured Power Armour with black-coloured shoulder pads. The trim of the shoulder pads was also dark grey. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest was black in colour. The white-coloured squad specialty symbol; (Tactical, Assault, Devastator, or Veteran), is indicated on the right shoulder pad. A black-coloured Roman numeral centered in the middle of the squad specialty symbol indicated company number. The iconography on the left knee pad indicated squad number in accordance with the Codex.
Chapter Badge
The Angels of Retribution's Chapter badge was a white coloured, winged sword, the sword alight with the red coloured flames of retribution on a field of black.
