>> DOMINUS PEDRO MITRE, 205 points

Pedro Mitre is Dominus (Chapter Master) of the Iron-hearted Angels. A Chaplain before he ascended to the rank of Chapter Master, his new responsibilities are not allowed to diminish his zeal.
^
WS 6, BS 5, S 4, T 4, W 4, I 5, A 4, Ld 10, Sv 2+

> ARMOR OF NASSIR AMIT (TERMINATOR ARMOR)

This suit of Terminator armor has a teleport homer, and does not prevent Sweeping Advances.

The Flesh Tearers claim this "Armor of Nassir Amit" is a replica; their records state their First Chapter Master's armor was lost in the battle that claimed Nassir Amit's life. Dominus Pedro claims the Crux Terminatus was recovered from Nassir Amit's body, and gifted to the Bleeding-hearted Angels' First Chapter Master; and so long as the armor inspires the Dominus' brethren, it is the "Armor of Nassir Amit" in spirit.

> DARKNESS AND RAGE (CHAINFISTS, STORMFIRE BOLTERS)

Darkness and Rage are a pair of chainfists, each mounting a Stormfire bolter. Each chainfist may be used as a MELEE WEAPON with the following profile:

> REDKNIFE (POWER SWORD)

Resembling a lengthened flaying knife, this power sword is said to be the one Nassir Amit wielded as the Blood Angels' Fifth Captain. Its presence reminds the Iron-hearted Angels of what the Flesh Tearer endured during the Horus Heresy, driving them to rampage though enemy lines.
^
Range -, S User, AP 3. Melee, Burden of the Red Thirst, Master-crafted, Shred.

> HAMMER OF TRAITORS (POWER SWORD)

This is a power sword whose energy field extends with each hit, forming a shock wave; grants an additional, long-range attack; and allows a single blow to down multiple foes.

Originally named "Foe Hammer," this was a gift from the Sons of Medusa Chapter Master. Caxias is trained in the one-handed sword stance, in which the weapon is swung to-and-fro, building momentum for a powerful blow; and the two-handed sword stance, in which the weapon is thrust into gaps in an opponent's armor; he may change stances at will.

^
Range -, S +2, AP 3. Melee, Master-crafted, Shock Weapon, Shred, Unwieldly.

^

The SHOCK WAVE has the following profile:
^

> SHOCK WEAPON special rule

The shock weapon may be "fired" as a ranged weapon; the number of "shots fired" may be equal to the weapon bearer's number of attacks. If the blade resolves a hit, the shock wave grants an automatic hit on the same target.

If the weapon bearer rolls a 6 To Wound, that Wound will have the Instant Death special rule, and the SHOCK WAVE will have the following profile:
^
Range Template, S 4, AP 5. Shock Weapon, Concussive.

>> SANGUINIUS' FIST (MEDUSA STORMRAVEN), 300 points

The Bleeding-hearted Angels' Second Captain's personal transport, this Stormraven replaces the side Access Points with sponson-mounted twin-linked assault cannons, sacrificing some transport capacity for ammunition stowage. After the battle to claim the Rib Cage, the Sons of Medusa modified the gunship with upgrades developed for the Medusa Stormraven, e.g., removing the dorsal air intake so the turret may traverse 360°, and installing ion shield generators.
^

May take two (2) hunter-killer missiles (+10 points each) and special issue heavy bolter ammunition (+7 points). For other options, see Stormraven entry in 'Codex: Blood Angels'.

> KINEMATIC RANGE INCREASE special rule

When moving Flat Out, the flyer may fire one of the weapons listed in parentheses, if so equipped; this will increase the weapon's range by the distance the flyer moved.

>> CAPT. PEDRO MATTHIES, 170 points

A Techmarine and Deathwatch veteran before he was named Third Captain, Matthies' silver death mask is based on a Necron skull.

The Third Captain prefers to fight Necrons, which he sees as opportunities to simultaneously eliminate hated enemies and study xeno technology; the knowledge received can enrich the Imperium, allowing it to defend itself with increased efficiency. In his own words:

"The Necrons sow the wind by committing crimes against Man. The xenos shall reap the whirlwind-- this whirlwind-- and pay for their crimes."
^
WS 6, BS 5, S 4, T 4, W 3, I 5, A 3, Ld 10, Sv 3+

^
Range -, S +2, AP 2. Melee, Armourbane, Master-crafted, Two-handed.

It may be fired as a RANGED WEAPON with the following profile:
^

> SANGUINIUS' REACH (SERVO-HARNESS)

This servo-harness was improved over generations; each Bleeding-hearted Angels Techmarine and artisan of war added to his predecessors' works, before passing it onto his successor. Most recently, Techmarine Matthies added plasma containment chambers and secondary heat sinks to its plasma cutter, so the tool will not harm its user.

Its FLAMER has the following profile:
^
Range Template, S 4, AP 5. Assault 1, Master-crafted.

Its PLASMA CUTTER has the following profile:
^
Range 12", S 7, AP 2. Assault 1, Twin-linked.

Iron-hearted Angels Sanguinary Priests adopted the Sons of Medusa Apothecaries' use of servo-arms to pull a Marine casualty out of the line-of-fire, before tending a wound or removing the gene-seed.

The Priests are also trained to Bolster Defenses, but they cannot give a Blessing of the Omnissiah as well as Techmarines; blue crosses mark their servo-arms to distinguish them.

>> RECLUSIAM FIELD SHRINE (BAAL PREDATOR), 180 points

This modified Baal Predator serves as a Chaplain's personal transport. A pulpit is mounted atop the turret, from which the Chaplain's sermons are voxed across a battlefield. The chassis incorporates power fields and inscribed prayers to invoke divine protection, protecting it and the Chaplain from harm.

Each field shrine carries a Chapter relic and icon of victory-- often the remains of a Death Company Marine whose sacrifice allowed the Angels to seize victory-- inspiring the Marines to achieve greater feats of valor. The Chaplain and his handpicked crew will prostrate themselves before this icon, before boarding the vehicle.

Chaplain Casman of the Blood Ravens Chapter is credited with developing the Reclusiam field shrine: a means to provide his battle-brothers the spiritual guidance they need, no matter where they find themselves. When the Blood Angels and their successors adopted the field shrine, they chose to carry their Chapter relics aboard a Baal Predator, for the vehicle is an icon of the Primarch's victory.

This Rhino variant has a bow-mounted servo-harness. A Techmarine commands the vehicle, which has transport capacity for accompanying servitors.

The Adeptus Arbites commonly deploy the Combat Enginseer Vehicle for bomb disposal. The Sons of Medusa advised the Iron-hearted Angels to adopt the vehicle, so enemy fire would not distract a Techmarine from his work.

Unit Type: Vehicle (Tank, Character, Transport).

^
BS 5

If the vehicle is destroyed, its commander will die with it, rather than abandon the Omnissiah's gift to his Chapter.

>> CRIMSON REAPER (KNIGHT ERRANT), 475 points

First sighted during the Rithguard Crusade, this Freeblade bears Rith's Dragon Helm, a heirloom helm with integral weapons. Originally built as a Knight Errant, the Iron-hearted Angels replaced his heavy stubbers with heavy bolters, his Stormspear rocket pod with a turret-mounted Typhoon missile launcher, for ammunition commonality; and mounted smoke launchers to its pauldrons.

The Crimson Reaper is infamous for his disregard for those fighting beside him, crushing Astra Militarum infantrymen underfoot as he charges forth, single-mindedly determined to engage the enemy. Such callous behavior once outraged the Bleeding-hearted Angels; the Iron-hearted Angels now dismiss these casualties as a "regrettable but necessity sacrifice."
^
WS 5, BS 5, S 10, Armor F13 S12 R12, I 4, A 4, HP 6

Wargear: Reaper chainsword, thermal cannon and coaxial heavy bolter, Typhoon missile launcher, ion shield (3+), smoke launchers.

Special Rules: Fear, It Will Not Die, Rampage.

> RITH'S DRAGON HELM

The Rith System and its Rithguard are named after a mythical creature, a dragon that hurls lightning from his antlers, and breathes fire hot enough to burn out the sun. Rith's Dragon Helm-- shaped like a dragon's head, his jaws framing a Flamestorm cannon, his antlers incorporating four heavy bolters-- was a heirloom of House Enkawa, which became extinct during the Plague of Unbelief (M36). The Knight who bears the helm, bears "Rith's Curse"-- murderous rage will rouse him to destroy the enemy at all costs, spreading fear as he rampages through the field.

The helm grants a Knight the Fear and Rampage special rules.

>> NEOPHYTE, 10 points

The Sons of Medusa advised the Iron-hearted Angels to adopt the Black Templars' practice of making new recruits prove their worth as Neophytes; the 10th Company was reorganized as the Neophyte Company, its officers preparing recruits to meet the enemy face-to-face.

The Iron Hands and their successors initially followed the Codex Astartes, and employed new recruits as scouts; they soon learned these "scouts" could not perform reconnaissance, as the recruits lacked the experience to identify traps or warn the Chapter of an ambush.

>> DEATH COMPANY MARINE, 25 points

When an Iron-hearted Angel joins the Death Company, a demolition charge is fixed to his breastplate. Known as a "Last Chance for Redemption," this bomb is linked to a life signs monitor, and armed when a Death Company Marine is deployed-- standard procedure is to transmit the arming signal after a Death Company squad disembarks from its vehicle-- the moment a Marine is killed, the bomb will detonate, and hopefully, claim his killer's life.

The Blood Angels' High Chaplain and the Iron-hearted Angels' Master of Sanctity came to blows after the Assault on Leystan Starport, when the Last Chance was used to kill the enemy warlord. The former was disgusted to see a victim of the Black Rage expended as a weapon; the latter was disgusted at the High Chaplain's "weakness," as the Last Chance allowed the Iron-hearted Angels to seize victory.

If a Death Company Marine loses his last wound, he may immediately move up to 8" towards the unit that killed him at the same Initiative step, even if he already moved in that phase; he may then detonate the bomb, before being removed as a casualty. If he loses his last wound to another Death Company Marine's Last Chance, then he may move up to 8" towards the nearest enemy model.

The Iron-hearted Angels reinforce their Dreadnoughts' front and rear armor, allowing these warriors to survive attacks from all but the heaviest weapons. It uses the Centurion's gun mount, allowing a heavy bolter or lascannon to replace the forearm-mounted storm bolter. Two hunter-killer missiles may be mounted on his shoulders.

The Iron-hearted Angels' Death Company no longer maintain Dreadnoughts, as the Last Chance will end a Death Company Marine's life before he can be entombed.
