In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. And among the myriad factions that wage this eternal conflict, the Blood Angels stand as a tragic and compelling force.

As one of the original Space Marine Legions, the Blood Angels were once the Emperor's finest warriors. But a flaw in their gene-seed has tainted them with a terrible curse: the Red Thirst.

The Red Thirst is an insatiable hunger for blood that can turn the Blood Angels into mindless berserkers. Over the millennia, it has torn the Legion apart, leading to countless betrayals and tragedies.

The Blood Angels Omnibus is a vast collection of stories that chronicle the Blood Angels' blood-soaked history. From their earliest days in the Great Crusade to their desperate struggle against the Tyranids during the Devastation of Baal, the Omnibus provides a comprehensive overview of this iconic Warhammer 40,000 faction.

The Blood Angels Legion

The Blood Angels were created by the Emperor of Mankind during the Unification Wars of Terra. They were one of the original 20 Space Marine Legions, and they quickly became known for their martial prowess and unwavering loyalty.

The Legion's Primarch was Sanguinius, an angelic figure who was beloved by his men. Sanguinius was a master swordsman and a gifted strategist, and he led the Blood Angels to countless victories.

However, the Blood Angels were also flawed. Their gene-seed carried a mutation that gave them a heightened susceptibility to the Red Thirst. The Red Thirst was a powerful urge to drink blood, and it could turn the Blood Angels into mindless berserkers.

The Blood Angels fought valiantly during the Great Crusade, but the Red Thirst began to take its toll. The Legion was responsible for several atrocities, and Sanguinius himself was forced to execute some of his own men to prevent them from succumbing to the madness.

The Horus Heresy

The Horus Heresy was a galaxy-wide civil war that tore the Imperium apart. The Blood Angels were one of the Legions that remained loyal to the Emperor, but they were also one of the most affected by the treachery.

Sanguinius was killed by Horus himself during the Siege of Terra. His death was a devastating blow to the Blood Angels, and it only served to further fuel their Red Thirst.

The Blood Angels fought on against the traitors, but they were ultimately defeated. They were forced to retreat to Baal, their home planet, and they spent the next ten thousand years rebuilding their Legion.

The Devastation of Baal

In the year 999.M41, the Tyranids invaded Baal. The Blood Angels were outnumbered and outgunned, but they fought with unmatched ferocity.

The Devastation of Baal was one of the most brutal battles in the history of the Imperium. The Blood Angels were nearly wiped out, and their home planet was left in ruins.

But even in defeat, the Blood Angels showed their indomitable spirit. They refused to give up, and they eventually drove the Tyranids back. The Devastation of Baal was a turning point for the Blood Angels. It was a reminder of their resilience, and it gave them a new sense of purpose.

The Blood Angels Today

Today, the Blood Angels are a shadow of their former glory. They are a diminished Legion, but they are still one of the most feared and respected Space Marine factions in the Imperium.

The Blood Angels continue to fight against the enemies of the Imperium, but they also struggle against their own inner demons. The Red Thirst is a constant threat, and it is a reminder of the Legion's tragic past.

But the Blood Angels are more than their curse. They are also noble warriors who fight for what they believe in. They are the sons of Sanguinius, and they will never give up hope.

The Blood Angels Omnibus is a must-read for any fan of Warhammer 40,000. It is a sprawling, epic tale that chronicles the Blood Angels' blood-soaked history.

From the earliest days of the Great Crusade to the desperate struggle against the Tyranids, the Omnibus provides a comprehensive overview of this iconic faction.
