The Desolate Angels

[blooddragon]

I have returned to the B&C after many years away from the hobby. I have always been a Passionate BA fan and with the release of the new Dex and mini's I have jumped back into the frey. My BA sussessor will be known as The Desolate Angels. I have not started painting any yet, that will happen this weekend but here is a painter version of the color scheme. I will be using modified Nightlords shoulders for them.

Unfortunetly, There was an error with your image, I tried to fix it, but can't get it to appear.

Make shure the bases are old sandstone ruins or red sand.

 

Good luck. And Eperors speed.

Ok So here is some Fluff for them

 

Founding: 7th

Color: Orange with Black Trim

Symbol: Skull with Bat wings with dripping blood

Homeworld: Wormwood- this world was once a beautiful thriving world filled with great architecture and wondrous natural phenomanons. The people of Wormwood once had libraries that many believe pre-dated the great crusade. An unknown plague mysteriously spread across the world striking these once proud intellectual people with an insatiable hunger. This hunger drove most to the brink of insanity. The governments were torn asunder as mobs and gangs began to form and compete for the rapidly vanishing food sources. These war-bands began to become more and more ferocious while entire cities succumb to the fires of anarchy. Eventually the survivors under the whips of their warlords turn to cannibalism to quench there never ending hunger. When the Desolate Angels were awarded this world as its homeworld all that was know was the world was in a state of constant anarchy.

Additional Flaw: The senior brothers of The Desolate Angels were rather aggressive themselves. Finding that the inhabitants were violent cannibals was not a deterrence to them. The plague that affected the ancestors of the people of Wormwood had since been passed down genetically from generation to generation. The traces are so minute in candidates blood the Apothacaries of The Desolate Angels still have not discovered this as the true nature for the over aggressive nature of the Brother Marines. In fact they have focused on this nature being an acceleration of the flaw within their Geneseed and not a selection stock issue. In fact this flaw has helped to prolong the marines ability to delay the onset of the black rage. The Red thirst however seems to be aggressively accelerated by this unknown defect. The Desolate Angels over time transformed into a chapter that practices very ritualistic cannibalism of both there enemies and their own fallen. Because the insatiable thirst for blood has transferred into the Brothers, they are seemingly in a constant state of war to fill the void.

Geneseed: The chapters Geneseed does appear to be very stable initially and there is a higher than normal success rate among candidates. This is necessary because to maintain their ranks they must constantly be recruiting. Currently The Desolate Angels maintain 8 companies and it has been over 2 millennium since they have been at full strength.

 

More to come!!!
