 All
Space Marines are held in awe and dread by the citizens of the
Imperium. To most they are seen as mythic figures: distant avenging
angels who bring ruin and destruction upon the heads of the Emperor's
enemies. Yet, even among the battle-eager Space Marines of the
Adeptus Astartes, the Blood Angels have a fearsome reputation.
When building a Warhammer 40,000 army, the best
place to begin is its respective Codex. These books are indispensable,
not only providing you with the complete rules and army lists
for your army, but also containing guides to painting, assembling,
and selecting your army. Lastly, Codexes contain the army's background
story that you can find nowhere else.
Codex: Blood Angels is one in a series of army
books that act as supplements to Codex: Space Marines. Each
book in the series describes an army, its history, and its heroes
in detail. Note that Codex: Blood Angels is not a stand-alone
book; you also need Codex: Space Marines to field a Blood
Angels army. Inside Codex: Blood Angels, you will find:
Army Lists
Rules and information for unique units available only to Blood Angel
armies, such as the feared Death Company. Information detailing
new weapons, vehicles, and wargear used by the Blood Angels is also
included.
Hobby Section
Seven full colour pages packed with invaluable tips and advice
on collecting, painting, and playing with a Blood Angels army.
Special Characters
Complete rules and background information for Blood Angels characters
such as Commander Dante, Mephiston: Lord of Death, and Brother-Captain
Tycho.
 New
Scenario
Frontal Assault – a new Blood Angels mission depicting
a bloody slug-fest.
Once you get the appropriate Codex in your hands,
you'll need some troops to command and form the core of your growing
army. Next, we'll take a look at the Space Marine Tactical Squad
boxed set, the perfect place to find your first recruits.
