==Angels of Retribution== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1000px"> ''"Weakness. Weakness, in all things, is death. Weakness in physicality, weakness in temperament, weakness in deed, it matters not. They are all failings, and they are all no better than death. No, worse, for at least there can be glory and purpose in death."'' - Paestos Drachmartos, Iron Lord of the Third War Clan <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Angels of Retribution |Heraldry = [[Image:Angels_of_Retribution.png|center|140px]] |Battle Cry = Unknown |Founding = M32 |Successors of = Iron Hands |Chapter Master = High Concil |Homeworld = Comet fields of the Crios system, Segmentum Obscurus |Strength = Full Strength |Allegiance = [[Imperium of Man]] |Colours = Blue Steel, Red }} The Angels of Retribution are an Iron Hands successor chapter, founded some time around M32, formed from members of their predecessor legion who took a more active desire to hunt down the killers of Ferrus Manus. Much like their progenitors, they have a particular despise for the weakness of flesh, replacing their bodies overtime with mechanical augmentations. All initiates, to begin with, start with bionic hands, and a Veteran's body will be almost cloaked in wires and servomotors. They have no fortress monastery, and are instead fleet-based, though their home port is the comet fields of the Crios system in the Segmentum Obscurus. They are led, once again much like the Iron Hands, by a council of five Iron Lords, as opposed to a Chapter Master. Each Iron Lord leads a War Clan of approximately 200 Marines, divided into Battle, Tactical, Support, and Scouting arms, in a slight deviation from the Codex Astartes. Another deviation is the replacement of Chaplains and Techmarines with Iron Fathers, overseeing the Chapter's spiritual health and aiding Marines in overcoming the weaknesses of the flesh. As stated, the Angels' primary hatred is for Chaos cultists and Traitor Marines, particularly followers of Slaanesh and the Emperor's Children, who they hold responsible for the death of their primarch. Their tactics, overall, could be described as "target the enemy where he is weakest." Their preferred battle tactic is to use their space forces to survey the battlefield before precision striking troops into points of weakness. On the ground, they use rapid mechanized assaults combining armor, air power, and Assault Marines to exploit weaknesses in the enemy's line. They are also extremely proficient in boarding actions, targeting the weakest areas of the ship and sending in Marine squadrons to disable it. Chapter colors are blued steel hands, legs, and pauldron trim, with black pauldrons to signify their allegiance to the Iron Hands. The helmet and body are painted red for the Angels' strong friendship with the Adeptus Mechanicus, formed at the battle of Nova Stygia Tyrannos, where the Angels of Retribution defended the Forge World against a Slaaneshi incursion. As such, the Chapters' crusades often receive assistance from the Mechanicus's Skitarii legions, and Explorator fleets passing through near the Crios system can depend on the Angels for protection. </div> </div>
