Angels Mortis Armorial

"It is only fitting that these sons of the first angel of death, should now bear that same name as they carry out the Emperor's most righteous and holy work..." — Unknown Cardinal at the founding of the Angels Mortis

The Angels Mortis are a devoutly religious 23rd 'Sentinel' Founding chapter who claim the lineage of the First Legion and the bloodline of the holy Primaris Angelus Mortis. The chapter has its own unique view of the Imperial Creed leading them to view the Lion as the first Imperial saint and the Emperor's Angel of Death who will guide them to the Emperor's side. For most of their history the chapter focused on the gathering of holy artefacts linked to the Primaris Angelus Mortis and bringing the word of the God-Emperor to all across the galaxy, whilst mercilessly purging those who refused it. As well as embarking upon the Millennium Crusade, a millennia long affair which saw the chapter fight its way across the galaxy and a climactic final battle where the chapter claims to have fought beside the Primaris Angelus Mortis himself, whist fighting on a world enveloped by the warp.

However the Angels Mortis would end up accusing their fellow Unforgiven chapters, the Silver Lions and Ebon Angels, of heresy and collaborating with the Fallen leading to the War of the False Traitor. The Angels Mortis would be defeated in this war and for their ignorance were excommunicated from the Unforgiven and left as a broken chapter. The Angels now seek to repent for their past sins and seek to regain their former grace amongst fellow sons of the Angelus Mortis, a goal they will do anything to achieve. To this end the chapter has made its way to the Pontifex Cluster to fight alongside the Sable Pride and Ebon Angels, claiming visions from both the Emperor and the Primaris Angelus Mortis that claim that the Angels Mortis will find their salvation and an end to their penance within the Cluster.
