The Blood Angels is a series of novels and short stories by author James Swallow. The Blood Angels are a Warhammer 40,000 chapter of Space Marines, and the novels cover the early history of the Chapter and more specifically, the stories of Battle-Brothers Arkio and Rafen as Arkio declares himself to be a reincarnation of the Chapter Primarch, Sanguinus. Later novels Black Tide and Red Fury deal more with the Chapters ongoing struggles with its own flaws, the Red Thirst and the Black Fury, which at times threaten the purity of Battle-Brothers and could bring about the collapse of the Chapter as a whole; either through an inability to sustain the losses suffered due to the latter or through the former being perceived as the Taint of Chaos on them and their successor Chapters.Novels released to date: Deus Encarmine (December 2004) Deus Sanguinius (April 2005) Red Fury (September 2008) Black Tide (February 2010) Heart of Rage (novella - also released in audio version) (July 2009) Bloodline (novella) (September 2010) Blood Debt (short story) Redeemed (short story)Please resist the urge to put examples on this page or link to this page on tropes unless you are citing from 40K novels in which the Blood Angels feature. Examples which are specific to rulebooks or other in-universe fluff should go on either the 40K page or in the Blood Angels section of the Astartes chapters page. | |

Dying Race: The Flesh Tearers due to their recklessness in combat and higher than normal black rage fall rates, they can barely recruit enough replacements, even after Seth's work they can only maintain four companies. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word | |
| Blood Angels / int_525df529 | comment |
Not Using the "Z" Word: "Vampire" has been used by detractors of the Blood Angels since the Great Crusade; as such no Blood Angel will utter the word. Nevertheless, Rafen immediately makes the connection when he sees Arkio being corrupted by Chaos. The term is also brought up when describing the Bloodfiends in Red Fury. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Of various eras of Italy for the most part. Many characters have either Roman or modern Italian-sounding names, a penchant for renaissance-style finery and their armor is often decorated with Gino-esque gold chains.

Bling of War: Like all Space Marines, but given that Sanguinius took it a little further than the other Primarchs, it's only fitting that the Blood Angels take it a bit further than most Astartes, as they dress their Captains and Sanguinary Guard in gold armour. Arkio causes a bit of a buzz when he says he wants gold armour as well. | |

Cain and Abel: Only IN SPACE!, sort of reversed, its still fratricide only the killer is upholding God's will (sort of) and the dead brother was literally turning into a Demon and both of them are unbelievably awesome badasses. Horus and Sanguinius were described as being closer than any of the other Primarchs, enough that both tried to sway each other from their own side of the Horus Heresy. In the end, Horus (the elder, in a sense) slew Sanguinius, fitting this trope to a tee. | |

The Zoanthrope offers no resistance to the team as they advance on it; realising it wants to die, Rafen grants it its wish. Rafen also gives one to a Tau survivor of Fabius's experiments they find while raiding one of his abandoned labs. | |

Death Seeker: Once you fall into the Black Rage, you can never climb back out barring a miracle. Those that succumb are put into a separate unit and unleashed in suicide attacks. On Shenlong, people begin actively seeking the "murdergift" of being killed by the Blood Angels. They probably didn't even object when Mephiston ordered the planet subjected to Exterminatus. | |
