FORCES OF THE BLOOD ANGELS
BLOOD ANGELS SPECIAL RULES
The models in the Blood Angels army use a number of special rules that are common to more than one unit, as specified in the individual entries that follow. Given here are either the details of those rules or a reference to where you can find them.
AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR
Space Marines automatically pass tests to regroup, and can take such tests even if the squad has been reduced to less than half strength by casualties, though all other criteria apply. Usually troops that regroup cannot move normally and always count as moving whether they do or not, but these restrictions do not apply to models subject to this special rule. If Space Marines are caught by a sweeping advance, they are not destroyed and will instead continue to fight
normally. If this happens then the unit is subject to the No Retreat! rule in this round of close combat and might therefore suffer additional casualties. Units which include Servitors are still subject to this rule, providing that the unit contains at least one Space Marine.
COMBAT SQUADS
A number of ten-man units in the Blood Angels army have the option of breaking down into two five-man units, called combat squads This option is dearly specified in the unites entry. For example, a ten-man Veteran Assault squad can either fight as a ten-man unit or break down into two five-man combat squads. The units that can be split into combat squads are:
• Tactical squads
• Assault squads
• Veteran Assault squads
• Scout squads
• Terminator squads
• Assault Terminator squads
• Bike squads
• Scout Bike squads
• Devastator squads
The decision to split the unit into combat squads, as well as which models go into each combat squad, must be made when the unit is deployed. Both combat squads can be deployed in separate locations. The one exception to this is a unit that arrives by Drop Pod. The player can choose to split such a unit into combat squads when it disembarks from the Drop Pod. If you decide to split a unit into combat squads, then each combat squad is treated as a separate unit for all game purposes from that point.
RED THIRST
From the day of their Sanguination to their death on the battlefield the Blood Angels fight not only with countless foes but with a burning urge inside them. It is the Red Thirst, the legacy of their Primarch Sanguinius, that plagues many Blood Angels with visions of
death. In battle Blood Angels can harness these visions to evoke a ferocity that gave the Blood Angels Chapter its reputation for unparalleled brutal assaults. Sometimes however the Red Thirst is so overwhelming that the Blood Angels forget their noble heritage and completely lose control over themselves. It is not unheard of that Blood Angels squads abandon advantageous positions to engange the enemy in hand to hand combat. More often than not these assaults turn out to be so devastating that unprepared enemy forces are simply swept away.
At the start of the Blood Angels player's movement phase an unit with this special rule has to make a Red Thirst test, even if it is in a transport. The unit makes a Leadership test. If the test fails the opposing player checks if there is one of his own units in 12" of the testing unit. If this is the case the Blood Angels unit is subject to the Rage universal special rule for the remainder of the turn. Note that units that have the Rage special rule are not obliged to disembark. Dreadnoughts have a Leadership of 10 for the Red Thirst test.
Additionally if the result of the Red Thirst test is 7 or more the unit has the Furious Charge universal special rule for this turn.
Units with Red Thirst and Rage or Furious Charge
Units with the Rage universal special rule and the Red Thirst special rule may roll for Red Thirst to get Furious Charge but no distances are measured. Units with the Furious Charge universal special rule and the Red Thirst special rule roll for Red Thirst but solely to check if they are affected by Rage. Units with Red Thirst, Rage and Furious Charge, no Red Thirst do not roll for Red Thirst.
PARAGON OF RESTRAINT
The struggle with the Red Thirst is a constant battle of will for Sanguinius's Sons and they are more and more on the losing side. It is the ancient task of the Chaplains and Sanguinary Priests to constrain the urge and guide their battle brothers to tame the thirst. Their example is a flicker of hope for the Blood Angels to achieve salvation.
If a unit is in 6" of a model with the Paragon of Restraint special rule at the start of the movement phase it ignores all effects of the Rage special rule for the remainder of the turn.
ETERNAL WARRIOR, FEARLESS, FEEL NO PAIN, FLEET, FURIOUS CHARGE, HIT & RUN, INFILTRATE, MOVE THROUGH COVER, PREFERRED ENEMY, RAGE, SCOUTS: All these rules are detailed in Universal Spedal Rules, in the Warhammer 40.000 rulebook.
COMMANDER
Commander 6-5-4-4-3-5-3-10-3+
SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Red Thirst, Independent Character
WARGEAR
Iron Halo: The Iron Halo incorporates a powerful energy field that can turn aside even the most deadly attacks. It confers a 4+ invulnerable save.
Blood-Forged Blade: The Flesh Tearers took possession of the Blood-forged Blade during a boarding action of a Relictors' battle barge. The origin of this ornate power sword is only known to the renegade Chapter but the Flesh Tearers quickly recognized its inert power. When it is unsheathed its heavy blade is covered by a thin film of blood that is constantly vaporized by the glowing energy field surrounding the weapon. The balance of the blade is so sophisticated that the wearer can penetrate even the defence of the quickest of warriors in a rapid barrage of strikes. Unique. The Blood-forges blade counts as a power weapon that adds +1 to wearer's Attack.
CHAPLAIN
Chaplain 5-4-4-4-2-4-2-10-3+
SPECIAL RULES
Red Thirst, Independent Character, Paragon of Restraint
Honour of the Chapter: A Chaplain utterly embodies the honour of the Chapter. He and all members of a squad he has joined, are Fearless, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Liturgies of Battle: On a player turn in which he assaults, a Chaplain and all members of any squad he has joined can re-roll failed rolls to hit.
WARGEAR
Rosarius: A Rosarius is a gorget or amulet worn by Chaplains. It protects the Chaplain from physical and spiritual harm. A Rosarius confers a 4+ invulnerable save.
Crozius Arcanum: The Crozius Arcanum is a Space Marine Chaplain's rod of office. It is a power weapon.
SANGUINARY HIGH PRIEST
WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
High Priest 5-4-4-4-2-4-2-10-3+
SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Red Thirst, Independent Character
WARGEAR
Exsanguinator: The Sanguinary Priest can use the Exsanguinator for medical treatment of wounded Space Marines. But more important the Exsanguinator is a tool for retrieving the gene-seed from the body of a fallen Marine and is vital for the survival of the Chapter. In the veins of every Sanguinary Priest flow a portion of Sanguinius's own blood. That adds to the spiritual significance of the Exsanguinator for the Blood Angels. Usually a Sanguinary Priest uses his influence to calm the Red Thirst of his battle brothers. These priests are the epitome of the noble character of Sanguinius's heirs. But there are some priests that aspire to use the gift of their Primarch. These Faustians amplify the Red Thirst so that the enraged Blood Angels become the ultimate bringers of death.
At the start of the turn the Blood Angels player can choose one of the following effects:
Sanguinian: The wearer has the Paragon of Restraint special rule with a range of 12". Or Faustian: Every Blood Angels unit in 12" of the Red Grail has the Furious Charge universal special rule.
The Red Grail: The Red Grail is used to hold the blood of the Sanguinary Priests during the induction rituals that are performed when a Blood Angel joins the Chapter. Its presence on the battlefield has a powerful effect on the Blood Angels, as it enhances the physical and psychological aspects that are most closely linked to their Primarch. While all Successor Chapters have similar relics, these don't necessarily have the shape of a grail. The Angels Vermilion use the Onyx Skull for the induction while the Blood Drinkers even use a cauldron that is too large to bring it to battle. Unique. Every Blood Angels unit in 12" of the Red Grail has the Preferred Enemy universal special rule. The wearer has a 4+ invulnerable save.
LIBRARIAN
WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
Librarian 5-4-4-4-2-4-2-10-3+
SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Red Thirst, Independent Character,
Psyker: Librarians are Psykers, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. A Blood Angels Librarian has two psychic powers, chosen when the army is picked (see page 71). He can only use one power each player turn unless he has been upgraded to an Epistolary, in which case he can use up to two psychic powers each turn.
WARGEAR
Force weapon: See the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Psychic hood: Psychic hoods are embedded with arcane constructions of psychically-attuned crystals that allow a Librarian to nullify an opposing psyker's power. Declare that you'll use the psychic hood after an enemy model within 24" of the Librarian passes a Psychic test. If there are several Librarians in range, only one can attempt to nullify the psychic power - you must choose which. Each player then rolls a D6 and adds their model's Leadership value to the score. If the Space Marine Librarian beats the opposing model's score then the psychic power is nullified and does not take effect that turn. If the opposing model's score is equal or higher, it can use its psychic power as normal. The psychic hood can be used once each time an enemy model uses a psychic power within range.
TACTICAL SQUAD

Space Marine 4-4-4-4-1-4-1-8-3+
SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Squads, Red Thirst
WARGEAR
Locator Beacon: Blood Angels Tactical squads often carry a locator beacon, a signalling package containing a teleport homer, broad-spectrum communicators and geo-positional tracking. When activated, the locator beacon uploads detailed positional information to the Astartes Tactical Grid, allowing precision reinforcement by reserve forces. If a unit wishes to arrive on the battlefield via deep strike and chooses to do so within 6" of a model carrying a locator beacon, then it won't scatter. Note that the locator beacon must already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.
ASSAULT SQUAD

WARGEAR
Astartes Grenade Launcher: Usually the Astartes grenade launcher is used solely for Scout Bike squads. The built-in adaptive targeting systems is perfectly suited to compensate for the high speeds at which the bikers commonly travel. However the Fleash Tearers also equip their Devastator squads with Astartes grenade launchers. In total defiance of the Codex Astartes these Devastator squads are able to fulfill a close range fire support role on the battlefield that fits the combat doctrine of the Flesh Tearers excellent.
Each time a grenade launcher fires, the controlling player chooses which type of ammo is used.
Frag Grenade
Range 24" Strength 3 AP 6 Type Rapid Fire. Blast

SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Squads, Red Thirst, Infiltrate, Move Through Cover, Scouts
Behind Enemy Lines
The Scouts' duties are to infiltrate enemy positions ahead of the rest of their Chapter, relying on stealth - rather than brute force - to accomplish their mission objectives. Operating behind enemy lines, Scouts set ambushes for the unwary, destroy ammunition dumps and vehicle pools, spy out the enemy's movements and gather what information they can about their opponent's plans. Thus the battle is often won before the main host arrives.
Scout squads are scoring units.
WARGEAR
Shotgun:
Shotguns are sturdy and versatile weapons often carried by Space Marine Scouts.
12" Strength 4 AP - Type Assault 2
Sniper Rifle:
Sniper rifles boast powerful telescopic sights that enable the firer to target weak points and distant foes with unerring accuracy.

SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Squads, Red Thirst
WARGEAR
Chainfist: A chainfist is a power fist fitted with a chainblade attachment designed to carve its way through armoured bulkheads or armour plating. Originally designed for boarding actions, the whirring adamantite blades of a chainfist have long since proven their worth when engaging armoured targets of all kinds. A chainfist is treated exactly as a power fist, but rolls 2D6 for its armour penetration value.
Cyclone Missile Launcher: The cyclone is a specially designed missile launcher system, used by Space Marines in Terminator armour to provide heavy fire support. Essentially a rack of missiles fitted onto the shoulders of a Terminator, the cyclone missile launcher enables the Terminator to engage both heavily armoured vehicles and lightly armoured infanty. The Cyclone Missile Launcher is a multiple missile launcher (see page XXX). A Terminator can fire his multiple missile launcher in addition to his storm bolter.
VETERAN ASSAULT SQUAD

WARGEAR
Company Standard: Any Space Marine unit within 12" of the Standard Bearer always re-rolls failed Morale and Pinning tests. In addition, while the Standard Bearer is still alive, the Veteran Assault Squad counts as scoring one extra wound in close combat for the purposes of calculating the assault result.
Chapter Banner: Any Space Marine unit within 12" of the Standard Bearer always re-rolls failed Morale and Pinning tests, in addition, all models in the same unit as the Chapter Banner have +1 Attack whilst the banner bearer is alive. While the Standard Bearer is still alive, the Veteran Assault Squad counts as scoring one extra wound in close combat for the purposes of calculating the assault result.
Exsanguinator: See page 29.
The Shroud of Sanguinius:
When Sanguinius died above Terra, his vanquished body was covered with the Emperor's standard. This Shroud of Sanguinius is a revered relic of the Blood Angels and it still lies in stasis in the Blood Angels' Chapter monastery. Only the Guardian of the Shroud, a hand-picked senior veteran, has the honour to lift it when it is needed on the battlefield. Although the Angels Sanguine contest the authenticity of the artifact and claim that they possess the real Shroud the Sanguinius it has an undeniable effect on the Blood Angels that take it into combat. The genetic memory of the death of their Primarch burns in them like wildfire and they descend from the sky with such ferocity as if they were Sanguinius reborn.
Unique. If there is no independent character model in the unit and it is equipped with jump packs the unit may assault after deep striking.
BIKE SQUAD

SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Red Thirst
Combat Squads: A Bike squad chosen at full strength (for a total of eight bikes and one Attack Bike) can split into two combat squads as described on page 27. Note that if this is done the Attack Bike counts as two models, giving one combat squad of five bikes, and one of three bikes and an Attack Bike.

Preliminary Bridgehead:
Blood Angels Scout Bike squads are primarily used to prepare the battlefield for the arrival of the main force. Unbeknown to the enemy they scout the terrain and for positions of opposing formations. If they find the slightest weak point in the enemy's defences they place a stealth locator beacons to establish a bridgehead for Drop Pods, Thunder Hawks and Storm Harbingers. Even if the enemy manages to force the Scout Biker to withdraw it is too late to escape the wrath of the angels.
After assigning the deployment zones but before deployment, the Blood Angels player can place a Stealth Locator Beacon Marker anywhere on the table. If a unit wishes to arrive on the battlefield via deep strike from turn two on and chooses to do so within 6" of the marker and simultaneous there is no enemy unit in 6" of the marker, then it won't scatter.
WARGEAR
Shotgun: See page 35.
Astartes Grenade Launcher: See page 34.
Auspex: The auspex is a scanning device that is connected with the built-in commlink of every power armour. Thus critical tactical data is shared with the whole battle force. The auspex grants the Acute Senses universal special rule to any Blood Angels unit that is firing at a target in 12" of an auspex.

Black Rage (Death Company only):
When a Space Marine is overcome by the Black Rage he is reborn in a world of anger, hatred, fury and nothing else. As well as Sanguinius’s memories, the Blood Angel is touched
with a small portion of his unearthly power, boosting his strength and vitality to superhuman levels.
If the Death Company has won the round of combat on the turn they have assaulted, the squad gets the benefits of the Furious Charge universal special rule in the next opposing player's turn as well.

TECHMARINE
WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
Techmarine 4-5-4-4-1-4-2-9-2+
SPECIAL RULES
And They Shall Know No Fear, Red Thirst, Independent Character,
Blessing of the Omnissiah: If a Techmarine is in base contact with a damaged vehicle during the Shooting phase, he can attempt to repair it instead of firing. Roll a D6 and add the the following modifiers:
Each Servitor with a servo-arm in the unit +1
The Techmarine has a servo-harness +1
If the result is 5 or more, then either a Weapon Destroyed result or Immobilised result (owning player's choice) will be repaired. If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon can be fired in the following Shooting phase. The Techmarine cannot repair if gone to ground or falling back.
WARGEAR
Servo-arm: Techmarines and Servitors are equipped with
powerful servo-arms that can be used for battlefield repairs
or even put to use as a weapon. Each Servo-arm grants the
model a single extra close combat attack, made seperately at
Initiative 1 and Strength 8, ignoring Armour Saves.
Servo-harness: A servo-harness gives the Techmarine an
extra servo-arm (giving him two servo-arm attacks), a plasma
cutter (fired in the Shooting phase as a twin-linked plasma
pistol, but cannot be used in close combat) and a flamer.
In the shooting phase the Techmarine can fire both harness-
mounted weapons, or one harness mount and another gun.
Signum: The signum is a special foim of communication device that can access a myriad of useful targeting data, allowing a more accurate concentration of fire. A model can use a signum in lieu of making a shooting attack of his own. If he does so, one model in his squad is Ballistic Skill 5 for the remainder of the Shooting phase. Declare that the signum is being used before any rolls to hit are made.
SERVITOR
WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
Servitor 3-3-3-3-1-3-1-8-4+
Assault Servitor 3-1-5-5-3-3-3-8-4+
SPECIAL RULES
Feel no Pain (Assault Servitor only)
Mindlock: The altered and fragmented brain of a Servitor functions poorly unless constantly supervised. A unit of Servitors must test for mindlock at the start of each friendly turn. Roll a D6 for each unit of Servitors. If the result is a 4, 5 or 6 the test is passed and the unit can function normally for the remainder of the turn. If the result is a 1, 2 or 3, the Servitors have succumbed to mindlock - the unit (and any characters) may not move, shoot or assault that turn (though they will fight normally in close combat if already engaged). If a Techmarine is part of the Servitor unit at the start of the turn, the mindlock test is passed automatically.
WARGEAR
Servo-arm: See page 42.
Artificer Cannon: The artificer cannon is a three-barreled cannon that fires solid slugs of the size of a Karmathian apple. The knowledge of their construction is long lost but some Chapters still have a small number of artificer cannons in their arsenal. When a Blood Consuls Techmarine return from his journey to the Ogryn homeworlds with a new subject he carefully incorporates one of the artificer cannons in the new-made Assault Servitor.
The artificer cannon has the following profile:
Range 36" Strength 6 AP 6 Type Assault 6
LAND SPEEDER
Type BS-F-S-R
Land Speeder Fast, Skimmer 4-10-10-10
SPECIAL RULES
Deep Strike
WARGEAR
Typhoon Missile Launcher: The typhoon missile launcher counts as multiple missile launcher. See page 66.
LAND SPEEDER STORM
Type BS-F-S-R
Land Speeder Storm Fast, Skimmer, Open-topped 3-10-10-10
Transport
The Land Speeder Storm has a transport capacity of five models. It can only carry Scouts.
Fire Points and Access Points: The Land Speeder Storm is open-topped.
SPECIAL RULES
Deep Strike, Scouts
WARGEAR
Cerberus Launcher: The cerberus launcher is used to stun enemy units prior to an assault by Scouts. If a Scout unit charges into combat on the same turn as it disembarks from the Land Speeder, any enemy units that the Scouts assault have their Leadership reduced by 2 for the duration of that assault phase.
Jamming Beacon: Land Speeder Storms carry transmitters that broadcast powerful electro-magnetic and etheric interference. The resultant disruption denies enemy reserves crucial locational and navigational information, causing them to enter the fray a considerable distance from their intended entry point.
RHINO
Type BS-F-S-R
Rhino Tank 4-11-11-10
Transport
The Rhino has a transport capacity of ten models. It cannot carry models in Terminator armour and Assault Servitors.
Fire Points: Two models can fire from the Rhino's top hatch.
Access Points: Rhinos have one access point on each side of the hull and one at the rear.
WARGEAR
Over-charged Engines:
The Rhinos used by the Blood Angels are fitted with specially modified over-charged engines that trade the reliability of the standard Rhino for a faster combat speed. Even if the Blood Angels are forced to start a ground assault they loose nothing of their speed.
A vehicle with Over-charged Engines counts as fast. If it moves more than 12" it counts as open-topped for damage purposes until the next Blood Angels turn and every immobilized result on the Vehicle Damage chart counts as a destroyed result instead.
RAZORBACK
Type BS-F-S-R
Razorback, Tank 4-11-11-10
Transport
The Razorback has a transport capacity of six models. It cannot carry models in Terminator armour and Assault Servitors.
Fire Points: None.
Access Points: Razorbacks have one access point on each side of the hull and one at the rear.
DROP POD
Type BS-F-S-R
Drop Pod Open-topped 4-12-12-12
Transport
The Drop Pod has a transport capacity of ten models. Models in Terminator armour and Assault Servitors count as two. It can transport a single Dreadnought. Once the Drop Pod has landed, the hatches are blown and all passengers must immediately disembark, as normal. Once passengers have disembarked, no models can embark on the Drop Pod for the remainder of the game.
Fire Points and Access Points: Once deployed the Drop Pod is no longer a sealed environment and is therefor counted as being open-topped.
SPECIAL RULES
Inertial Guidance System: Should a Drop Pod scatter on top of impassable terrain or another model (friend or foe!) then reduce the scatter distance by the minimum required in order to avoid the obstacle. The Drop Pod cannot be placed on top of any model to begin with.
Immobile: A Drop Pod cannot move once it has entered the battle, and counts in all respects as a vehicle that has suffered an Immobilised damage result (which cannot be repaired in any way).
Drop Pod Assault: Drop Pods always enter play using the deep strike rules from the Mission Special Rules section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. At the beginning of your first turn, you must choose half of your Drop Pods (rounding up) to make a 'Drop Pod Assault'. Units making a Drop Pod Assault arrive on the player's first turn. The arrival of the remaining Drop Pods is rolled for as normal. A unit that Deep Strikes via Drop Pod may not assault in the turn it arrives.
WARGEAR
Deathwind Launcher: Some Drop Pods are upgraded to carry a deathwind launcher in place of a storm bolter:
Range 12" Strength 5 AP - Type Heavy 1, Large Blast
STORM HARBINGER
Type BS-F-S-R
Storm Harbinger Fast, Skimmer 4-13-11-10
Transport
The Storm Harbinger has a transport capacity of sixten models. Models in Terminator armour, models wearing jump packs and Assault Servitors count as two. It can transport a single Dreadnought. It can carry five Bikes. Attack bikes count as two Bikes.
Fire Points: None.
Access Points: A Storm Harbinger has one access point at the front.
SPECIAL RULES
Deep Strike
Jump Pack Insertion: Assault Squads don't wait for the Storm Harbinger to land in order to disembark. Instead they use their jumps packs to disembark during low-altitude flight and ride on a stream of fire and smoke to crush the enemy in one fierce sweep from above.
Jump infantry disembarking from a Storm Harbinger can launch an assault on the turn they do so, even if the Storm Harbinger has performed a deep strike.
WARGEAR
Tantalus Assault Cannon System:
The Tantalus System consists of no less than four assault cannons. Instead of standard rounds it uses fragmentation rounds that force enemies in cover. Thus they are vulnerable to the assault of the Storm Harbinger's passengers.
It counts as a single weapon with the following profile: Range 18" Strength 6 AP 4 Type Heavy 8, Rending, Pinning, Twin-linked
BAAL PREDATOR
Tank 4-13-11-10
WARGEAR
Over-charged Engines: See page 46.
VINDICATOR
Type BS-F-S-R
Tank 4-13-11-10
WARGEAR
Demolisher Cannon: The demolisher cannon is the weapon of choice amongst the Imperium's armies when faced with dug-in enemy infantry in a dense environment such as a cityfight or siege The terrific blast unleashed by the detonation of the huge demolisher shells is often sufficient to bring down buildings in which the enemy take cover crushing them beneath tons of fallen masonry. The demolisher cannon has the following profile:
Range 24" Strength 10 AP 2 Type Ordnance 1
Siege Shield: Many Vindicators are equipped with an enormous bulldozer blade, allowing them to shoulder aside rubble and other battlefield detritus without risk. A Vindicator with a siege shield automatically passes dangerous terrain tests.
WHIRLWIND
Type BS-F-S-R
Tank 4-11-11-10
WARGEAR
Whirlwind Multiple Missile Launcher: Each Whirlwind in your army is equipped with the standard vengeance missiles and the incendiary Castellan missiles. Declare which type of
missile you wish to use before the Whirlwind fires.
Vengeance Missiles
Range 12-48" Strength 5 AP 4 Type Ordnance 1, Barrage
Incendiary Castellan Missiles
Range 12-48" Strength 4 AP 5 Type Ordnance 1, Barrage, Ignores Cover*

LAND RAIDER
Type BS-F-S-R
Land Raider Tank 4-14-14-14
Land Raider Crusader Tank 4-14-14-14
Land Raider Redeemer Tank 4-14-14-14
Transport
The Land Raider has a transport capacity of ten models, the Land Raider Redeemer a capacity of twelve models and a Crusader a capacity of sixteen models. Models in Terminator armour and Assault Servitors count as two.
Fire Points: None.
Access Points: Land Raiders have one access point on each side of the hull and one at the front.
SPECIAL RULES
Power of the Machine Spirit: The interface between a Land Raider's machine spirit and its fire control mechanisms allow the crew to target with incredible accuracy. A Land Raider can fire one more weapon than would normally be permitted. In addition, this weapon can be fired at a different target unit to any other weapons, subject to the normal rules for Shooting. Therefore, a Land Raider that has moved at combat speed can fire two weapons, and a Land Raider that has either moved at cruising speed, or has suffered a 'Crew Stunned' or 'Crew Shaken' result can fire a single weapon.
Assault Vehicle: Models disembarking from any acces point on a Land Raider can launch an assault on the turn they do so.
WARGEAR
Hurricane Bolters:
Each hurricane bolter consists of three twi
n-linked bolters, fired as a single weapon.
Flamestorm Cannon: The firemestorm cannon has the following profile.
Range Template Strength 6 AP 3 Type Heavy 1
Frag Assault Launchers: The hulls of Land Raider Crusaders and Land Raider Redeemers are studded with explosive charges designed to hurl shrapnel at the enemy as the troops inside charge out. Any unit charging into close combat on the same turn as it disembarks from a Crusader or Redeemer counts as having assault grenades.

This section of Codex: Blood Angels lists the weapons and equipment used by the Blood Angelss, along with the rules for using them in your games of Warhammer 40,000.
Weapons and equipment that can be used by more than one type of model or unit are detailed here, while equipment that is unique to a single model or unit (including wargear carried by named special characters) is detailed in the appropriate entry in the Forces section.
For example, bolters are ubiquitous and carried by many models, and so are detailed in this section. The auspex, however, is unique to Scout Bike squads. While you will find a page reference here, the rules are detailed in the Scout Bike squad entry.
WEAPONS
Artificer Cannon
See the Servitor entry on page 43.
Assault Cannon
The rapidly rotating, multiple barrels of an assault cannon unleash a storm of shells, each one capable of shredding a man. The sheer volume of fire means that an assault cannon can be turned against infantry or even vehicles, where the overwhelming salvo of shells is capable of shredding even the heaviest armour.
Range 24" Strength 6 AP 4 Type Heavy 4, Rending
Astartes Grenade Launcher:
See the Devastator squad entry on page 34.
Blood-Crafted Blade
See the Commander entry on page 28.

Chainfist
See the Terminators entry on page 36.
Chainsword or Combat Blade
Space Marines utilise an array of close combat weapons, from the combat blades wielded by Scouts to the chainswords carried by Assault Marines. All are equally deadly in the hands of a Space Marine. Both chainswords and combat blades are close combat weapons, as described in the Assault Phase chapter of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Combi-Weapons
Combi-weapons are bolters that have been specially modified by the Chapter's most skilled artisans. Each has been expertly converted to house another weapon, either a meltagun, plasma gun or flamer. This extra weapon carries only a limited charge, allowing the bearer a single shot, perfect for emergencies and shots of opportunity. A Space Marine armed with a combi-weapon (combi-meltagun, combi-plasma gun or combi-flamer) can choose to fire either the bolter, or the secondary weapon, each with the profile listed elsewhere in this section The bolter can be fired every turn, but the secondary weapon can only be fired once per battle (a combi-plasma gun can, of course, Rapid Fire). You cannot fire both weapons in the same turn.
Crozius Arcanum

Heavy Bolter
An enormous version of the boltgun. the heavy bolter fires fist-sized bolts at the enemy with a staggering rate of fire.
Range 36" Strength 5 AP 4 Type Heavy 3
Heavy Flamer
The heavy flamer is the ultimate weapon for sweeping fortifications clear and purging the ranks of the enemy at close quarters.
Range Template Strength 5 AP 4 Type Assault 1
Infernus pistol
The Infernus pistol is a smaller version of the meltagun. It is popular in the Blood Angels Chapter for its combination of close combat aptitude and destructive power. The Artificers of the Blood Consuls can supply all Blood Angels successors with a small amount of these priced and rare weapons.
6" Strength 8 AP1 pistol, melta
Krak Grenade
Krak grenades are armour piercing bombs, designed to crack open the armoured hulls of enemy vehicles. Though they lack the explosive force of melta bombs or other specialised demolition charges, they are small and easy to carry, making
them ideal weapons of opportunity. See the Vehicles chapter of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for details of using krak grenades.
Lascannon
There are few liner weapons for tank hunting than the lascannon. Within the gun is a laser chamber that charges an energy blast capable of shattering any enemy vehicle. The lascannons used by Space Marine forces vary, from the man-portable variants carried by Devastator squads, to the godhammer pattern lascannons borne by the Land Raider.
Range 48" Strength 9 AP 2 Type Heavy 1
Lightning Claws
Lightning claws are heavily armoured gauntlets with long, slashing talons sheathed in a rippling power field. Used most effectively in pairs, lightning claws slice through armour, flesh and bone with terrifying effectiveness. See the Assault Phase chapter of the Warhammer 40.000 rulebook for the rules for using lightning claws.
Master-crafted Power Sword
Master-crafted power swords are the product of years of careful labour by the most accomplished artisans in the Chapter. A blade that has been manufactured with such dedication will be superior to any other weapon of its type.
A master-crafted power sword counts as power weapon and allows the bearer to re-roll one failed roll to hit per player turn when using the weapon. See the Assault Phase chapter of the Warhammer 40,000
rulebook for details of using power weapons.
Meltabomb
Meltabombs are subatomic charge-powered demolition munitions, capable of melting through even the most heavily armoured targets. They are much bulkier than krak grenades, with a more sophisticated detonation mechanism. Space Marine Assault squads carry melta bombs to destroy enemy tanks and bunkers. See the Vehicles chapter of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for details of using meltabombs.
Meltagun
Meltaguns are lethal anti-armour weapons, used by Space Marines when undertaking assaults against heavily fortified defence lines and bunkers. Most effective at very short range, the meltagun is capable of reducing rock, metal and living material to molten slag or ash.
Range 12" Strength 8 AP 1 Type Assault 1, Melta
Missile Launcher
The standard heavy weapon for Space Marine Tactical squads, missile launchers can fire either krak or frag missiles. Frag missiles are designed to wreak havoc amongst lightly armoured infantry, while krak missiles can challenge the most heavily armoured targets. Each time a missile launcher fires, the controlling player can choose which type of missile is being used.

Range 24" Strength 8 AP 1 Type Heavy 1, Melta
Multiple Missile Launcher
The Multiple missile launcher consists of one or two racks of missiles that can fired in an earth-shattering volley. It is too heavy to be carried by a Space Marine wearing Power Armour but it can be employed on more stable platforms. The Blood Angels use several variants that are adjusted for their field of application such as the Cyclone missile launcher for Terminators or the Typhoon missile launcher for swift Land Speeder Raids. The Angels Sanguine are famous for their widespread use of these weapons. They even field Land Raiders and Baal Predators that are able unleash a barrage of missiles upon the enemy. Each time a multiple missile launcher fires, the controlling player can choose which type of missile is being used.

Plasma Gun
Smaller than the plasma cannon, this fires several compact 'pulses' of plasma energy.
Range 24" Strength 7 AP 2 Type Rapid Fire, Gets Hot!

A jump pack enables the wearer to make great bounding leaps across the battlefield or even to fly short distances. Models equipped with jump packs are jump infantry, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook In addition. Space Marines wearing jump packs can be dropped from low-flying Thunderhawk Gunships, using their jump packs to swoop down on to the battlefield To represent this they can be kept in reserve and arrive using the deep strike rules (see the Mission Special Rules section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook).
Laurels of Thorns
Blood Angels that are awarded with laurels of thorns have proven in over a hundred battles that they have truly mastered the Red Thirst. These revered Blood Angels can control the flaw and even use it to their advantage if need be.
A unit with Laurels of Thorns uses 3D6 for its Red Thirst test and discards one of them. If the unit has no Red Thirst special rule, Laurels of Thorns have no effect.

A model with storm shield has a 3+ invulnerable save. A model equipped with a storm shield can never claim the + 1 Attack bonus for being armed with two close combat weapons in an assault.
Teleport Homer
Teleport homers emit a powerful signal enabling Space Marine Strike Cruisers to lock on to them with their teleportation equipment. By utilising this signal, the risk of missing the intended mark is greatly reduced, as are the dangers of more serious accidents. If models wearing Terminator armour wish to teleport onto the battlefield via deep strike and choose to do so within 6" of a model carrying the homer, then they won't scatter. Note that the teleport homer only works for units that are teleporting, not for units entering play using jump packs, drop pods, drop ships or other means of transport. Also note that the homer must already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.

Searchlights are often fitted to Space Marine vehicles, so that the foe may not use darkness as an ally. Searchlights are used where the night fighting rule is in effect. If a vehicle has a searchlight it must still use the night fighting rules to pick a target but, having acquired a target, will illuminate it with the searchlight. For the rest of the Shooting phase, any other unit that fires at the illuminated unit does not use the night fighting special rule. However, a vehicle that uses a searchlight, can be targeted during the following enemy turn, as if the night fighting rules were not in effect, as the enemy can see the searchlight.
Smoke Launchers
Smoke launchers are used to temporarily obscure the vehicle behind concealing clouds of smoke, allowing it to cross open areas in greater safety. See the vehicles section of the Warhammer 40.000 rulebook for details.
Tantalus Assault Cannon System

See the Whirlwind entry on page 50.
BLOOD ANGELS PSYCHIC POWERS
All Blood Angels psychic powers are used following the rules given in the main Warhammer 40.000 rulebook. Note that while some powers affect the blood of the target we can assume that the psyker has a repertoire of similar powers at his disposal that affects the circuits of Necrons or the corporal embodiment of Daemons.
Angel of Wrath: The Librarian conjures an angelic shaped sphere of pulsing Warp energy. Broad arcs of light lash out and scorch all enemies unfortunate enough to stand nearby.
This power is a shooting power. The power uses the following profile: Range 24" Strength 6 AP 3 Type Assault 1, Blast
Blood Stasis: The Librarian slows the blood flow of the victim, that is struck down by a hail of pain for every move it makes until it is finally released when its heart explodes by the constant strain.
This power is a shooting power. The power uses the following profile: Range 12" Strength 1 AP- Type Assault 1, Large Blast. Every affected non-vehicle unit moves as if being in difficult and dangerous terrain until the beginning of the next Blood Angels turn. For every one on a dangerous terrain roll the unit gets an automatic S 10 AP 2 hit instead of the usual auto-wound. If the unit shoots it suffers an automatic S 5 AP - hit for every one on a roll to hit. Cover saves are not allowed against this this power. Units with the special rules Daemons and Necrons are not effected by this psychic power.
Quickening: The Librarian floods his body with Warp energy to alter the laws of time and move with superhuman speed. This power is used at the start of the Blood Angels players' turn and lasts for the rest of the turn. If the Librarian is inside a transport at the start of the turn he cannot use this power. It allows the Librarian to move as Cavalry. If the Librarian rides a bike or wears a jump pack he has the Fleet universal special rule instead.
Might of Heroes: The deadly powers of the Immaterium flow into the Space Marine, heightening his speed and strength to unimaginable levels to smite the foes of the Emperor.
The power is used at the start of either player’s Assault phase, and if successful, the Librarian or any one other model in 6" of the Librarian gains +D3 attacks in that Assault phase.
Living Darkness: The Librarian brings a pandemonium of meandering tendrils of pure darkness into being that covers the approach of the Blood Angels assault.
This power is used in the Blood Angels player's shooting phase. It is no shooting power. The Librarian places the large blast marker with the hole anywhere in 12" in line of sight. The marker stays in place until the start of the next Blood Angels player's turn. The marker blocks all lines of sight through it regardless of height. Vehicles and units with Acute Senses are not affected when drawing a line of sight through it. If the marker touches a model, friend or foe, or a model is moved into base to base contact with the marker it is immediately removed from play. You can represent the marker with a ball of blackened cotton of the appropriate size.
Shockwave: (Furioso Librarian Dreadnought only) The Furioso Librarian channels an electric eruption through his metallic body and unleashes a devastating shock wave that is fully capable of flipping lighter vehicles over. This power is a shooting power. There is no target unit. Instead every vehicle in 12" suffers a number of automatic hits with Strength 6 AP 1 against its side armour without cover saves allowed. Vehicles in 3" get three hits, in 6" two hits and in 12" one hit. After using this power the Librarian Furisos can charge another unit.
Primarchs Grace: (Librarian and Mephiston only) The Librarian taps into the Immaterium where past and present are one to seize the grace and elegance of Sanguinius and engulf those nearby with it.
This power is used at the start of the Blood Angels players' turn and lasts for the rest of the turn. It allows the Librarian and any Blood Angels squad he has joined to ignore difficult terrain.
Transfixing Gaze: (Mephiston only) Mephiston’s eyes become blazing pits of despair, able to pierce the souls of those who meet his gaze.
This power is used in either player’s Assault phase after assault moves are concluded. Mephiston can target one enemy model in base to base contact. Both players roll a D6 and add the respective Leadership of their models. If the Mephiston scores higher, then the opposing model may not direct his attacks towards Mephiston in this turn. If there is no other valid target the model may not attack at all.
Vortex of Blood: (Mephiston only) Mephiston taps into the blood of foes nearby and forces it violently out of their body to form a protective vortex.
This power is used in either player’s Assault phase right before Mephiston's normal attacks. Every model in base to base contact with Mephiston has to make a Toughness test. If the test fails the model suffers a wound with armour saves allowed. If at least one model was removed as casualty the Blood Angels player can force his opponent to reroll all to hit dice for attacks directed at Mephiston during the remainder of this round of combat. Attacks that took place prior to or at the same time as Mephiston's attacks are not affected.
Quickening Field: (Mephiston with Black Fang only) Using the Scarlet Fang as focus Mephiston can generate a bubble of Warp energy that works similar to an inverse Warp Field of an Imperial space ship. Thus he can extent the effects of Quickening to his battle brothers.
This power is used at the start of the Blood Angels players' turn and lasts for the rest of the turn. If Mephiston is inside a transport at the start of the turn he cannot use this power. It allows Mephiston and any Blood Angels squad he has joined to move as Cavalry. If the unit has the type Bike or Jump Infantry all models in the unit have the Fleet universal special rule instead.
