In the vast, tumultuous expanse of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the trials and tribulations of the Blood Angels are well documented. As part of our multi-part series, we delve into a stirring saga of the clash of mighty forces, the Blood Angels’ brave assault on the demon engine factories of Irine, and the stirring arrival of a mysterious golden power.
The God engines of Lego Metallica, their strength needed elsewhere, disengaged from the fray. The Imperial forces were stretched thin, repelling fresh waves of Deep demon engines and traitor forces that seemed to multiply exponentially. A shadow loomed over the Imperial forces as it became clear; the forces of chaos were inching towards victory. However, in the darkest hour, the Sanguinor descended, radiating golden light and rallying the Blood Angels for a counterattack.
With the avenging Angels’ assistance, the Blood Angels successfully obliterated the Hex Infernium, denying the traitors any further reinforcements of demon engines. Yet, Chaos Lord Zorus celebrated in the backdrop, his plans slowly coming to fruition.
He intended to use the bloodshed on Amthal to power the Banshee Stone, a chaotic artifact capable of creating a vast warp Rift. The resulting tidal wave of demons would engulf the Deore system, pushing the boundary of Abdon the Despoiler’s Crimson path further into Imperial space.
In the aftermath of the Archangels’ obliteration of Irine, the war for the Damore system reached its climax. Chaos ground forces prepared for a decisive strike, and the Black Legion, roused by Irin’s fall, launched an all-out assault on Ameal. Meanwhile, the Imperium marshalled an enormous force to eradicate the chaos threat once and for all.
Despite the devastating barrage from Black Legion warships, the forces of the Imperium, led by Captain Affel, pressed on undeterred. As the ground forces battled, vast warships clashed in space above, a testament to the scale and ferocity of the conflict.
At the heart of the conflict was the Banshee Stone, an ancient prison for warp entities capable of unleashing demonic forces on an unprecedented scale. As the Blood Angels and the Black Legion clashed, Zorus arrived at the main excavation site. The Blood Angels, though they fought valiantly, found themselves outmaneuvered and arrived too late at the excavation site.
Facing the Banshee Stone, a twisted crystal exuding blood through the cracking bedrock, Zorus ordered a retreat. The Banshee Stone was critically damaged, it wouldn’t last long. In a blaze of warp light, the Sorcerer and his cabal escaped, leaving the Blood Angels amidst the slaughter.
In the end, after a blast wave swept across the planet, leaving only blackened ash in its wake, the Blood Angels claimed victory. The Sanguinor had vanished, last seen escaping Irin’s destruction, but it was believed he would return when needed.
Unknown to the Imperium, the cracks in the demon cage had spread beyond repair. The energies of the Banshee Stone would soon be unleashed. As the Blood Angels departed for Bal, they left behind Librarian Asmail and a squad of 10th company Scouts to monitor the Banshee Stone and prepare for the inevitable breaking of the demon cage.
As we turn the page to the next chapter of this tale, we find seven of the eight companies dispatched by the Howling Griffins entrenched in grueling trench warfare. The story of the Blood Angels continues, an epic testament to the trials and tribulations of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
