The Angels Excelsis were a successor chapter of the Blood Angels, founded at some point in the 36th Millennium. They existed mainly to give the Blood Angels another chapter to feed into the grinder at the Devastation of Baal. One of their captains, a fellow named Erwin, was an arrogant, hardheaded jackass who routinely fucked up other people's plans, then refused to apologize for it, and his arrogant jackassery was directly responsible for the Arx Angelicum nearly being destroyed. To wit: he drove his strike cruiser too close to the Tyranid hive fleet while attempting to save a ship that had actually deliberately been abandoned and left to self-destruct, which allowed a Lictor to latch onto his ship's hull. Said lictor then made landfall on Baal and infiltrated the Arx Angelicum and wreaked havoc once inside, almost fatally compromising the Arx's defenses. Erwin, meanwhile, died in glorious void combat against Hive Fleet Leviathan, along with the rest of the chapter. They were apparently not rebuilt after the end of the battle.
