4.0

Blood Angels, one of the first founding Space Marines outfits, are a very strange breed of Space Marines. Suffering from uncontrollable rage attacks (sort of a gene imposed disease of sorts) that they constantly fight to keep under control (although it eventually destroys them) they are what you may call the Vampires - both in appearance and in extremely violent and blood-thirsty behavior.

But nevertheless when one considers that this storyline takes place in war-torn apocalyptic post-Heresy period I find it refreshing to have all Space Marines portrayed as human beings with their doubts and fears.

Story is based around the plot of Chaos led Space Marines to corrupt the Blood Angels (and eventually all chapters that were created on the basis of the original Sanguinus' Legion) and bring them to the "dark-side" so to speak.

Interesting collection.

Recommended.
