Most Dark Angels strike forces will include a Deathwing Terminator Squad or two, although on occasion the company has deployed en masse - but this requires a truly cataclysmic event. This epiphany brings full understanding of the Chapter's apocryphal stories taught to Neophytes, and sets out the truth behind the mission to hunt down and destroy the Fallen Dark Angels, no matter how long it takes, or what the cost. Upon entering, some of the Chapter's secrets are revealed, and a Dark Angel learns of Luther's betrayal and the hunt for the Fallen Angels.Īncient crossed blades icon of the Order of the Deathwing, the Dark Angels Legion's Veteran elite the star of the Hexagrammaton is centred behind it. Initiation into the Deathwing is not just an honour for the Chapter's best warriors - it is a commencement into the first levels of the hidden truths of the Dark Angels' Inner Circle.

That the Dark Angels can equip all of their Veterans this way speaks volumes of the wealth of relics hidden within The Rock, and is also an indication of how seriously the Chapter takes the Deathwing's true mission: to ruthlessly eliminate the Fallen Angels. Terminators are sent on the most desperate missions: boarding infested space hulks, crossing no-man's land, or attacking the most horrific enemies - Greater Daemons, xenos monstrosities and earth-shaking Daemon Engines. Officially known as Tactical Dreadnought Armour, a Terminator Armour suit is the heaviest protection a Dark Angel can wear, short of being entombed within a true Dreadnought. This specialty formation is also found amongst those Space Marine Chapters who are successors of the original I st Legion, which are collectively known as the Unforgiven. All are elites, and all are outfitted in Terminator Armour, a luxury few Chapters can match. The Dark Angels 1 st Company is entirely made up of Veterans and broken into distinct units: Terminator Squads, specialists and Deathwing Knights. The Deathwing is the elite 1 st Company of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter.
