Ordo Angelus

The Ordo Angelus, which translates to "Order of the Angel" in High Gothic, is a 3rd Founding Successor of the proud and noble Blood Angels chapter. They revere their Primarch Sanguinius, and their chapter is centred around his worship.

Colours
A typical Ordo Angelus Space Marine has gold coloured limbs and helmet, which is meant to represent a halo. Their pauldrons are white with red trim. The soft armour is also red, as is the wrists and part of the backpack. They also always don a blood red robe; it's a very rare occurrence for an Ordo Angelus marine to shed his robe.

Chapter Symbol
The Ordo Angelus' symbol is a death mask with surrounding halo over a pair of wings connected by a golden rod. The death mask represents Sanguinius while the wings and rod represents the Purity Mace, the chapter's main relic.

Death Company
The Ordo Angelus Death Company, known as "Samael's Chosen", are men who are held in the highest degree of honour and respect in the chapter. These men are the incarnations of the wrath of Primarch Sanguinius and Chapter Founder Samael Bludhaven. In fact, they are as revered as the Sanguinary Guard of the Chapter, and as a sign of this reverence, wings are carved onto their helmets and they are given jump packs with black wings identical to those of the Sanguinary Guard. Despite their special belief in the Black Rage, the Ordo Angelus somehow has a slightly lower chance of having marines succumb to it compared to other successors of the Blood Angels.

Revere the Angel
The Ordo Angelus worships their Primarch, with only the God-Emperor of Mankind having a higher priority of worship, although some in the Ecclesiarchy have their doubts. The Ordo Angelus worship of Sanguinius occurs in all parts of their service. They pray to him before battle, and chat his name as they engage the foe. They drink his blood as they join the chapter, and his name is the last word on their lips as they die.

Due to this almost religious mindset for their primarch, the Black Rage is never considered a curse, but rather a gift from their Primarch so that they may carry out his will.

Sanctum Sanguinius
Sanctum Sanguinius, also known as the Blood Oath, is a ritual that every Ordo Angelus Marine has to partake in during their debut as an Astartes.
