The Death Company

Blood Angels Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex Supplement: Blood Angels, p. 16

The Death Company is a formation of those who are lost. Its ranks are formed from those brothers who have succumbed to the darkness in all angels and now live the Black Rage. In their waking dreams they are fighting Horus and the Black Legion, losing all control as the visions take hold. When those among the Angels are beyond hope and unable to hold back the visions they are locked away until at last they can be released for battle in one final act of service and glory. Here in the vicious battlefield, the visions they exhibit bear no harm to their brothers as they slaughter through the ranks of enemies compelled by the hallucination they are experiencing. Should members of the Death Company survive, they are rounded up and imprisoned again until another suitable battlefield can be found for them to at last find peace or if they are to far gone, they will be dealt with by their own kin.
