They fought with vicious furry and terrifying vengeance. The Death Angels where beset by Chaos forces which caused them to lose their grip on their world resulting in the death of their first Chapter Master Tairinis, Chaplain Cartoross and crippling Sanguinary Priest Kerith the Black.Īfter this massive defeat, the Death Angels amassed their temporary fleet on the moon Zegga and pushed back the chaos forces. Their first objective was to quell the rebellion on the feudal world of Tenadain which is now their home.Īfter they where founded and where unsuccessful from stopping a warp gate from being opened on their planet of Tenadain. Their planet is Tenadain and they reside in their fort called The Bane Fortress. The Death Angels where created to quell rebellion. The Death Angels are a Successor Chapter to the Blood Angels. It is rumoured that they continue to reign down terrible destruction, wrought against friends and foes alike, yet the Death Angels still continue to faithfully serve the Emperor and their Primarch Sanguinius, despite their genetic afflictions. As a Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, they too, are greatly affected by the twin curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. The Death Angels tend to display a violent savage mien in battle, and have garnered a reputation as a bellicose and bloody-handed Chapter. They built a mighty fortress-monastery known as The Bane Fortress, and continue to stand sentinel over their homeworld and the surrounding system from any further attacks by the forces of the Ruinous Powers. After successfully putting down a massive Chaos incursion on the feudal world of Tenadain, the young Chapter was recognised by the High Lords of Terra and granted rights over Tenadain as their new homeworld and its surrounding system as their demesne. These Scions of Sanguinius were created at the express order of the High Lords of Terra in order to counter encroaching Forces of Chaos within the Tenadain Sector.

They were created during the 5 th Founding sometime during the early centuries of the 33rd Millennium. The Death Angels are a Successor Chapter of the venerable Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter. ' As darkness descends upon us brothers, think of the blood your swords shall drink, the heretics you shall slay, daemons that you shall terrify with blinding death You are the instrument of his will! Kill the heretic and spill the unclean! We shall make a wall from their bodies and hold to the last gasp and we shall know no fear!' - Chapter Master Tairinis before the First Siege of Tenadain, upon the home planet of the Death Angels, before his death.
