Black Crusade: Angel’s Blade $49.50
A campaign supplement for Warhammer 40,000, containing a story from the beginning of the 13th Black Crusade from the perspective of the Blood Angels, featuring new rules content for that Chapter.
The Story
The shadow of a huge fleet of Crimson Slaughter and Black Legion forces falls across the Diamor System, as Abaddon the Despoiler’s 13th Black Crusade is launched. This shadow is met by the righteous fury of the Blood Angels; leading a mighty coalition of Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights, the Sons of Sanguinius fight bitterly against the servants of Chaos.
Yet the fires of war that consume the worlds of the Diamor System are revealing dark secrets, harbingers of a terrible doom that even the Blood Angels will be hard-pressed to prevent coming to fruition…

Again, the artwork level of GW is only going up and up by the month. Take a look at the flawed sons of Sanguinius putting the beatdown on all those naughty traitors.
Welcome to Baal. The exsanguinations start in 30 minutes.
Paging Chaplain Daenor, report to the traitor position at your leisure.
I wonder if the foot slogging Blood Angel Chaplains feel envious?
Bringing justice to Khorne and Slaanesh
Kicking Crimson Slaughter butt…
Are you sensing a profound Death Company theme yet?
What every modeler should hope for.
So many skulls and never enough bolt shells.
Those dreadnoughts look angry – even from here.
Lore, don’t forget the pages and pages of new Blood Angel lore. (hint – IT’S A TRAP!)
If you love the Death Company, this is the book for you.
~I’m wondering how this Black Crusade will tie into Warzone Fenris? Chaos is on the march!
