The Angels Imperious were an Institutorum Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter and a proud successor of the Void Angels from the Second Founding.
Chapter History
Their first Chapter Master, Fabrice Diallo, was a particular favourite of the Primarch and led many of the critical assaults of the Void Angels campaigns in the Great Crusade. Diallo was especially famous for commanding the ground attack on Karazak during the Core Worlds Campaign.
Notable Campaigns
Like many of the Void Angels' Successors, the Angels Imperious were sorely tested in WAAAGH! The Beast.

Chapter Combat Doctrine
This Chapter was militant in its observance of the combat doctrines of the Institutorum Astartes. Their formations were organised and deployed efficiently in the manner prescribed in that tome. Their training orients itself towards flexibility, though Fabrice Diallo's influence in their early decades left a legacy of aggressive close-quarters fighting.
The Angels Imperious greatly benefited from training alongside the Imperial Guard regiments of the Markian Corps. Such close association gave the Chapter a keen understanding of the capabilities of mortal soldiers. During emergencies in the Segmentum Pacificus, it is common to see a senior warrior of the Angels Imperious commanding a large combined-arms force.
Chapter Beliefs
The Angels Imperious revered Gaspard Lumey even more so than other Chapters. They see the Primarch's works as a comprehensive guide to the conduct of the Adeptus Astartes and strive to carry on in the tradition of the Fifth Legion; dedicated to the Imperial Truth, resolute in the defence of mankind, ruthless in the persecution of its enemies. Such a position occasionally puts them at odds with the moral code of the Institutorum Astartes penned by Thomas Gaudin during the Imperial Reformation. Yet such eccentricities are permissible in a Chapter so loyal and fierce.
Chapter Homeworld
When the great Void Angels Legion was divided up, Diallo was entrusted with protecting liberties of the Markian Pact worlds. Much like Ciban IV, the worlds of the Pact maintain their own government and, according to the letter of their laws, exercise control over their Chapter. In the eyes of the Imperium, however, the situation is reversed and the local governments are mere vassal administrations subordinate to the Chapter Master of the Angels Imperious.
The Chapter's base on the Water World Kouralia allows for the Angels Imperious to remain discrete in their operations while still basing themselves in an area rich in potential aspirants. Close proximity to the Void Angels Chapter means that the two often coordinate their activities.
Chapter Appearance
The colours of the Angels Imperious are dark blue and pale blue. This scheme honours the ancient alliance between the Astartes of Gaspard Lumey's line and the people of the Markian Pact.
