<tab name="Dark Angels Relics">
*'''Cup of Retribution:''' A new relic for 9th. Chaplain model only. Once per battle, the Chaplain can recite the Feast of Malediction Litany instead of reciting a Litany that it knows. Do not roll to see if it's inspiring, it is automatically inspiring. 
**'''Feast of Malediction:''' While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|DARK ANGELS CORE}} unit is within 6" of this {{W40kKeyword|PRIEST}}, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that unit.
*'''Eye of the Unseen:''' Gives the unit the Fear (Aura) ability. Enemy units within 6" suffer -1 to their leadership characteristic. If an Enemy Character is within Engagement Range of the bearer, they always fight last. Talonmasters are eligible to take this relic.
*'''Foe-Smiter:''' Replaces a Storm Bolter. 24" Assault 4 S5 AP-1 D2. While there are fewer units that can take Foe-Smiter, it's superior to the Primarch's Wrath because it doesn't need Bolter Discipline to do full damage at range. However, like all weapon relics it does benefit from Grim Resolve. Best used on Ravenwing or non-Inner Circle characters (for example, a Techmarine with Servo-Harness), as the former loves advancing and shooting while the latter can unload in melee during the Tactical Doctrine.  Worst on Deathwing characters.
*'''Mace of Redemption:''' Replaces a Power Maul or Crozius Arcanum. Sx2 AP-3 D2. Each time an attack is made against {{W40kKeyword|HERETICUS ASTARTES}} or {{W40kKeyword|FALLEN}} units, unmodified wound rolls of 4+ inflict 2 Mortal Wounds and the attack sequence ends.
** Now it can be taken on all Chaplains thanks to it being eligible to replace a Crozius.
** S9 with Fury of the Lion WLT or Mantra of Strength, S10 with both, due to multiplication coming before addition.
*'''Pennant of Remembrance:''' {{W40kKeyword|Deathwing Ancient}} only. Subtract 1 from the Damage Characteristic of attacks allocated to friendly {{W40kKeyword|Deathwing Infantry}} within 6". 
**The loss of FNP is painful, but enemies will have to throw attacks that do 4 points of damage to reliably kill Deathwing Terminators. Throw in a Deathwing Chief Apothecary if you want some of the FNP shenanigans.
*'''Reliquary of the Repentant:''' {{W40kKeyword|Ravenwing Biker}} only. An Aura ability that makes enemy units within 3" suffer -1 to their invulnerable saves (to a minimum of 6++). 
*'''Shroud of Heroes:''' All attacks against the bearer suffer -1 to hit rolls. Talonmasters are ''not'' eligible to take this relic. However, Biker Captains are legal in Ravenwing lists now. Go ahead, take this relic on him with a Power Sword and the Calibanite Knight warlord trait to make Captain MurderRavenwing.
** This doesn't usually stack with Ravenwing Darkshrouds. If you can afford a Darkshroud and are a Ravenwing main, use that instead.

If you have a Dark Angel Successor Chapter, these are the only Dark Angel "Relics" you have access to without the stratagem '''Honoured By The Rock''' that can't be accessed with the stratagem '''Marked For Command'''.

*'''Adamantine Mantle:''' When this model loses a wound, roll a D6; on a 5+++, the wound isn’t lost. Not that great in an army with access to so many rolls to negate wounds.
*'''Arbiter's Gaze:''' Bearer's attacks always hit on a 2+ and ignore cover, including overwatch (and melee - it's ''all'' attacks). Can be given to a Ravenwing Talonmaster, even though they're a Vehicle. Toss-up between this and the Heavenfall Blade above for the TM's best relic.
*'''Artificer Armour:''' Gives a model a 2+ armour save and a 5++ invulnerable save. This can allow your Characters to survive much more, especially Librarians which need to sacrifice a cast and a power slot to get a 5+ invulnerable. Best put on a model with a decent amount of wounds but no invulnerable (Librarians, Lieutenants, and Ancients).
*'''Heavenfall Blade:''' Replaces a Power Sword, Master-Crafted Power Sword, Relic Blade, or Executioner Relic Blade with a +1A -1AP MC Power Sword - S+2 AP-4 D2, and models armed with the Heavenfall Blade can make an additional attack with the weapon Chainsword style. Talonmasters are eligible to take this relic, and honestly? They should probably take it.

These relics are available to Successors without needing the stratagem '''Honoured By The Rock''' and can be handed out with the '''Marked For Command''' stratagem.

*'''Atonement:''' Replaces a Plasma Pistol. 18" S9 AP-4 D3. Doesn't overheat. You have better relic options. 
*'''Bolts of Judgement:''' The Dark Angel special bolt ammo. Make a single hit roll with a bolt weapon at AP-2 and D3, that wounds on a 2+ (6s required for vehicles and monsters). Can be given to a Ravenwing Talonmaster, even though they're a Vehicle.
*'''Digital Weapons:''' When you fight, you make one extra attack that scores a mortal wound if it hits. Absolutely terrible.  Can be given to a Ravenwing Talonmaster, even though they're a Vehicle.
*'''Master-Crafted Weapon:''' Give a weapon +1D. Good on a thunder hammer for D4 or on weapons with variable damage (force weapons and chainfists) to guarantee at least D2.
