Psy-Changeling series [ edit ] Initial series [12] [ edit ] Nalini Singh discusses Heart of Obsidian in New York. # Dawn Reaper (Strike Cruiser) - Reclusiarch Ivanus Enkomi of the Minotaurs Chapter led a victorious boarding assault in 908.M41 against the Dawn Reaper during the cataclysmic Battle of Optera of the Badab War. All Chapters descended from the Blood Angels maintain units of Sanguinary Guard as a legacy of their parent Legion, and all follow the same color scheme except for the Angels Encarmine, whose Sanguinary Guard wear alabaster-white colored armour instead.

Their duties were to patrol the wide expanse of the desolate wastes of the Maelstrom's western zones, responding to and neutralising Chaos and piratical threats as they were encountered, a duty the Chapter took to with great fervour. Encarmine Broadword - The Sanguinor wields a two-handed version of an Encarmine Sword like those wielded by the members of the Blood Angels' Sanguinary Guard. This, incidentally, strengthens the evidence of those who claim the Sanguinor is actually Azkaellon. Fire-Breathing Weapon: Melchior's weapon of choice was a flamer that he used to deadly effect. During a Genestealer ambush, Melchior's battle against a genestealer aberrant causes his weapon to explode and taking off one of his arms in the process. He uses a bolt pistol from then on. Jericho Reach (812.M41) - The Lamenters first became involved in the Achilus Crusade when the Chapter provided an escort to the Rogue Trader Kazandus Lan, settling a thousand-year old honour debt to the Lan dynasty. The four squads of the escort fought alongside the Rogue Trader's own vassal regiments for a decade, and undertook a number of highly effective boarding actions against Archenemy warships in the Outer Reach. In 812.M41, the vessel on which the Lamenters were travelling suffered a catastrophic drive failure during realspace translation, forcing it to be abandoned on the outskirts of the Falon's Lament System. Only a handful of the battle-brothers survived the accident. Learning of the tragedy and recognising the survivors' limited application as a conventional force, Watch Commander Mordigael of the Deathwatch sought them out and procured their service in the Long Vigil. The bulk of the surviving Lamenters in the Jericho Reach have formed a single Kill-team under Watch Captain Brand Mac Lir of the Storm Wardens Chapter, while several more serve in other cells alongside the battle-brothers of other Chapters.The Lamenters were raised during the "Cursed" 21 st Founding of Space Marine Chapters in the early 36 th Millennium. The matter of the "curse" pertaining to the exact nature of this Founding has long since become shrouded in secrecy and myth. When the Blood Angels' Stormravens finally arrived at Khartas to recover the surviving Astartes after receiving their distress signal, only six Battle-Brothers had survived, and the Sanguinor had vanished to wherever he had come.

Lamenters Chapter colour scheme as displayed by Primaris Marine Brother Svetura, 4 th Company, 5 th Squad ( battleline).Semnai - Brother Semnai was serving his second vigil of the Long Watch at the time of a notable operation, his first spent as a Kill-marine in the Koronus Expanse. The exact nature of Brother Semnai's service in that far distant region of the galaxy remains a mystery, and it appears he travelled on the bridges of as many as a dozen different Rogue Trader vessels. Many suspect Brother Semnai had been tasked with hunting down a specific enemy of the Deathwatch in the Koronus Expanse, and that he finally cornered that unknown foe on the very brink of the Hecaton Rifts. Other than the fact that Brother Semnai discharged his Apocryphon Oath during that final battle, all that is known is that he sought to return to his Chapter's homeworld, his vessel laying up at Watch Fortress Erioch during its long voyage. Needless to say, Brother Semnai never completed the journey, deciding instead to stand a second vigil after Inquisitor Ramaeus approached him and specifically requested his aid in some undisclosed task. Brother Semnai served during the Hadex Anomaly operation and the reason for his continued interment in the Erioch Reclusiam is a complete mystery. Instead, the Lamenters employ strike forces which are created as needed from across all the units of the Chapter, giving them a high degree of flexibility in shaping their forces to meet operational needs. Chapter recruitment was also carried out on a practical basis, with likely Aspirants culled from Feudal Worlds and far-flung Imperial colonies from wherever the Chapter fleet's roving course took it. The Deathwatch Fire Support Squads consist of Devastator Squads, Aggressor Squads, Hellblaster Squads, Eliminator Squads, Suppressor Squads, Eradicator Squads, and Centurion Warsuits. [40b] The Blood Angels may be renowned for their noble visage and for fighting as the very embodiment of the Angels of Death, yet the more blood they spill, the more they have an overwhelming desire to drink the vital fluids of those they slay. By channelling their bloodlust, the Blood Angels can unleash a ferocity that has led them to victories beyond count. Sometimes they lose control of the Red Thirst, however, and in the aftermath of such battles, it is not uncommon to find the bodies of foes – and more disturbing still, the occasional Imperial citizen – drained of blood…

M41: First Captain Ubaldo leads a force from the 1st Company to Gorgonum, aiding this Forge World against the Forsaken Doom, a Genestealer-infested space hulk. [42] [Note 1] All Shadowhunters have some level of angel blood in their veins, specifically that of their creator, Raziel. However, an exceptional amount of pure angel blood— Ithuriel's, as a result of experiments by Valentine Morgenstern—runs in the veins of a number of Shadowhunters, giving varied results, namely: Dreadnought Chyron - Amadeus Chyropheles, now known as Chyron, is one of the few Dreadnoughts within the Lamenters Chapter. He avoided the ultimate fate of the Lamenters at the hands of Hive Fleet Kraken due to being temporarily assigned to the Ordo Xenos' Deathwatch, and he currently believes himself (erroneously) to be the last surviving member of his Chapter. Dark rumours began to grow and surround them as time and again the Chapter suffered from bitter reversals and dark turns of fate. Even when they were recalled into the interior of the Imperium along with a number of other crusading Chapters by the High Lords of Terra in the 39 th Millennium to help deal with the rising threat of incursions from the Eye of Terror, many Imperial Commanders and other Space Marine Chapters continued to view them with suspicion. Pausing only to grant his blessing to the sergeant in command of the sortie, he cut a bloody path across the Terrorclaw, blazing through the vessel like the wrath of Sanguinius.Whatever the truth of this, ill-fortune had already begun to follow the Lamenters like an unwanted shadow. As the years passed, there has been a continued and observable increase both in the Lamenters' predilection for melancholia and in the frequency which with the Red Thirst affects Lamenters' Astartes. But in the end, with the arrival of their brother Sanguinius and his Blood Angels Legion from their disastrous campaign in the Signus Cluster, Guilliman convinced his reluctant brother-primarch to rule as the regent of Imperium Secundus, for he possessed more of the noble aspects of the Emperor within him than either Guilliman or the Lion. Blood Angels were the first army I painted before moving onto Orks. It’s a good box and gives you some decent units. Personally I would’ve preferred a dreadnought over the Impulsor tank but it’s not a deal breaker. Plus there are upgrade kits available online that can give the Impulsor some extra punch. Are They Difficult To Paint?
