A Space marine is a towering warrior, whose brute strength is tempered by inhuman skill. Armed with a fearsome bolter, protected by a suit of power armour and the product of intense training and genetic manipulation, he is far beyond a mortal man, transformed into a lethal superhuman killing machine. The Space Marines are organized into Chapters, each a self-sufficient army and the most deadly group of warriors in the Imperium's arsenal. The Dark Angels are one of these Chapters, the very first to be founded at the dawn of the age of the Imperium.

Once teetering on the very brink of heresy, they hide a dark and terrible secret. A secret that drives the Dark Angels to search through space and time, toward a final apocalyptic battle that will bring them redemption or damnation... This 88-page Warhammer 40,000 Codex contains all the rules you'll need to field a Dark Angel army, as well as detailed background information, bestiary, accompanying artwork and 'Eavy Metal showcase. You must possess a copy of Warhammer 40,000 in order to use the contents of this book.
