The '''Doom Eagles''' (stop laughing) are an [[Games Workshop|official]] [[Space Marine]] Chapter, descended from the [[Ultramarines]] in the [[Second Founding]].

They are extremely [[grimdark]]. What, the fact that they're called "'''Doom''' Eagles" isn't enough? Their homeworld is dying, and they only choose Gathians who have lost everything of importance to them to become Aspirants.

They use a LOT of [[Jump Pack]]s and are considered to be some of the best practitioners of the Jump Assault, so just play them on the tabletop with Doom Eagle colors and the assault rules if you want to play a fluffy army. They once equipped an entire company with jump packs (including the Tacticals and Devastators) and dropped into combat from orbit. Ironically, or perhaps just as expected for a chapter with [[Nurgle|such morbid religious beliefs]], they proved to be absolutely amazing for fighting [[Plague Zombies]] during the [[13th Black Crusade]], with not a single one falling to the plague. After all, you can't zombify what's already dead. Well, the canon reason was their faith and piousness, but their faith and piousness is centered around a religious belief that they're already dead so the theme still fits. Clap Your Hands if You Believe, after all.

Those [[Blood Ravens|Bloody Magpies]] "borrowed" a matching power axe and plasma pistol combo off them.

Also not to be confused with the [[Doom Legion]], another Ultramarine chapter with similar name and colors.

The above quote mentions that the Doom Eagles seek to prevent other people from suffering. This automatically makes them one of the few chapters to give a crap about the rest of humanity. Plus, imagine the manly righteous fury they feel towards the enemy endangering peoples' happiness (or close enough to happiness). Yeah, they fuck shit up with a wrath.
