▪ GENE-SEED (PREDECESSOR): Dark Angels ▪ FOUNDING: 10th ▪ CHAPTER MASTER: Brother Bahram ▪ CHAPTER WORLD: Cadian Gate ▪ FORTRESS MONASTERY: The Pervigilium ▪ MAIN COLOURS: Green, orange and red ▪ SPECIALITY: Boarding actions ▪ BATTLE CRY: For the Lion! ▪ CURRENT STRENGTH: 842 battle brothers ▪ KNOWN DESCENDANTS: nones Chapter Name: Angels of the lion Origins: As the Dark Angels make contact with the Angels of the Lion regarding the Fallen, the Angels of the Lion greet their progenitors with reverance and dignity. Each of the Angels of the Lion regard the Dark Angels as a Brother. However, as the Inner Circles meet there begins a series of verbal and psychic probes and repostes as to what the other side knows and what they are hiding. The Angels of the Lion can’t trust the Dark Angels since they have no idea why some of their number have fought for the Dark Powers. The Dark Angels can’t trust the Angels of the Lion to know their secret shame. The Dark Angels just want the prisoners and the Angels of the Lion want answers and neither side will yield to the other. The result is the Dark Angels being roused to anger at the Stubborness of the Angels of the Lion and return to the Rock. The Angels of the Lion are angered as well, but they know of the Dark Angel’s stubborness and have become as stubborn as the Angels. Battles erupt between the two chapters and the fighting is fierece and neither side is willing to yield however the Angels of the Lion know that they can not win since they don’t have the numbers to match the Dark Angles one-on-one on the battlefield. Both Sides fight as honorable and both yell war cries for the Emperor. Upon the field of battle, the Captains of the Third Company’s of both chapters meet each other in hand-to-hand combat. In a battle that is worthy of honor and distinction in the history of both chapters, the Captains fought fiercly and never backing down. The battle stopped except the clash between the two leaders with the rest of the Marines looking on. After a day and a half of fighting, the Captains both collapse from the exhaustion of the fighting. Riveted by the stalemate, the rest of the two chapters wait paitently for a victor to emerge. As the two Captains begin to stir they look at each other and for once the Dark Angel speaks to his opponent. You fought with honor, valor, and the Emperor’s grace. I see in you the blood of the Lion which also flows through me. How is it that we are fighting? said the Dark Angel. The Angels of the Lion replied, ”Neither of us was willing to yield to the other. I will tell you what has brought our Marines to this and why so much blood has been spilt. If you wish, we shall meet privately to discuss the matter.” Then with a shocked look on the Dark Angel’s face he noticed that the Son had next to him one of the mysterious Watchers in the Dark. While they never speak, their small bodies display their wishes. This one was showing his respect for the Angels of the Lion and as it turned its cowled head to the Dark Angel it nodded an approval to the Dark Angel. That evening, on the battlefield guarded from intruders by Marines of both sides. The two Captains in the presence of Watchers discussed enough that the anger of both sides subsided. The Angels of the Lion learning only that the Dark Angels are shamed and have undertaken a crusade to clear themselves of the shame. The Dark Angel gave praise to the Angels of the Lion and that they fought in a manner befitting Lion El’Johnson and the Dark Angels are proud that the Angels of the Lion are an honorable chapter that gives hope that the Dark Angels fight is not in vain. The Angels of the Lion offer to hand over the Fallen prisoners and any other they manage to capture to help clear the honor of the Dark Angels even if they no nothing of how they were shamed. (Just that they are.) The Dark Angels will assist in the rebuilding and the complete establishment of the Angels of the Lion and several Chaplains and Librarians have volunteered to join the Angels of the Lion to teach the Angels of the Lionmore about the Great Legion of the Dark Angels and their Successors. They will also take custody of the captured Falllen (secretly to reprise their role as Interrogator-Chaplains) and will maintain their presence in the Inner Circle of the Dark Angels. Chapter Home World: The fortress monastery of the Angels of the Lion is a gigantic orbital dock circling the world of Pervigilium. These docks are situated just outside the Cadian Gate, the stable corridor of space that leads from the Eye of Terror to Earth. Each time the fleets of Chaos erupt from the Eye of Terror, the Angels of the Lion stand ready to fight them; and when warp space is calm enough to allow passage, the Angels of the Lion take the fight to the forces of Chaos. Pervigilium itself is a feral pre-black powder planet, in perpetual state of war amongst various tribes. A single continent surrounded by a mass of water…. Terrain is not good enough to sustain a regular yield of crops so inhabitants are forced to hunt for food most of the time… tribes clash in order to establish the better hunting grounds. The forbidden place at the top of a mountain is taboo for all the inhabitants and the keep surrounding it is guarded by a squad of marines at all times, with one month rotation. Present Activities: The Angels of the Lion has two active areas of engagement that has taken up most of the Chapter’s resources. The first is active within the area of the Eye of Terror pursing renegades and mutants. The other is assisting the Ordos Xenos and the Deathwatch in crushing the expansion of the Tau sphere of influence and attacking any imperial forces that turned gene-traitor and sided with the xenos. Chapter Organization: The Angels of the Lion have taken up the organization of the Unforgiven Chapters like most of those who know they have the geneseed of the Lion. The Chapter does not name their Companies. Instead they name only specialized groups like their Lion Guard within their 1st Company and the Lion Fury of the 2nd Company. Fleet Assets: Due to the nature of their homeworld, the chapter has a large number of ships at its command. They maintain 7 operational battle barges and over 25 Hunter-class Destroyers along with a number of smaller escort vessels. Recruitment: Every 5 years the tribes are visited and the fittest youths are taken into the stars, while the remains of former members are returned in a metal sealed casing. Chapter Colours: The chapter paints their armor a deep green with orange trim or shoulder pad. The robes are in deep red. http://angelsofthelion.com/tsm.jpg http://angelsofthelion.com/spacemarine.jpg http://angelsofthelion.com/scout.jpg Battle Honours/decorations: The shoulder pad and banner that bears the Lion pawn is unique to each brother and stays with that brother even into death. Combat Doctrine: The Angels of the Lion follow the standard combat doctrine of the Codex Astartes, but their dogged resistance against overwhelming odds is legendary. The Angels of the Lion will stubbornly stand their ground in combat, refusing to give ground to the enemy, even if it is tactically beneficial to do so. The primary driving force of the Chapter is the hunt and capture of the remaining Fallen Angels. Only by forcing every single one to repent do the Angels of the Lion believe they can restore their honour. If a member of the Fallen or someone who may know of the location of one, is present on the battlefield, the Angels of the Lion will ignore their objective and do all in their power to capture this individual. Everything else is second to the capture of a Fallen Angel, including any other human life. It is not unknown for Angels of the Lion to fire upon friendly targets in order to prevent them from discovering the secret of the Fallen. Those friendly units that survive are often taken to The Rock to be turned into Servitors, to silence them forever. The Angels of the Lion are also notoriously intolerant of non-humans and mutants, even those like Squats, Ogryns or Ratlings who are considered benevolent by the Imperium of Man. They are also highly mistrustful of the Imperial Inquisition, and will refuse to fight alongside any force that incorporates members of the Inquisition, or non-human soldiers, except in the most dire of circumstances. This is due to the fact that they do not want the Inquisition investigating the Chapter or discovering its dark secrets. Battle Cry: ”For the Lion!" Beliefs: The Angels of the Lion believe in the purity of humanity and the Lion. Gene-Seed: The Dark Angels and their successor chapters are collectively known as the ”Unforgiven” and generally maintain close links with each other. The Chapter Masters of each chapter belong to the Inner Circle and also carry the honorific of ”Grand Master of the Inner Circle”. The Dark Angels Chapter Master is also the Inner Circle supreme leader and every member of the circle answer to him when it come to the hunt for the Fallen. Dark Angel’s Successor Chapters, much like themselves, will abandon everything for the hunt of the Fallen. It’s known that the Dark Angels Legion sired at least three Second Founding chapters, although several other are also thought to hail from this Founding.

I, Brother Bahram, chapter master of Angels of the Lion, in the name of the Lion, make this oath of moment to submit a complete history of my chapter and it's honoured brothers.
