Chaplain Severus This grim and sullen Chaplain ministers to the needs of the troops on this indefinite assignment. In battle, Severus is often the key to victory and he revels in close combat. His usual role in combat is leading Breach Force Secundus into the enemy assisted by jump packs where they can do their bloody work. |

Apothecary Hippocrus Keeper of the gene seed of the Dark Angels, healer of the wounded, and grim harvester of the priceless progenoid gland from the fallen. Hippocrus is responsible also for examining the fitness of new recruits and installing the necessary glands/organs to the aspirants. |
Techmarine Petrus Charged with the upkeep of all the Force's mechanical needs. He keeps the vehicles in perfect shape, appeasing the Machine Spirits with all the proper rituals. He accompanies Quadratus in most engagements, lending his skills as well as his deadly accurate bolter fire when necessary. |
Standard Bearer Nemo Enigmatic and sworn to a vow of silence. Nemo was the only marine who survived with Quadratus on the ocean turbine rig that fateful day on Piscina IV. He was attached to the AAF at his own request, and given the singular honor of bearing the Force's Standard into battle. He has never dishonored the banner and his heroics have often shifted the tide of battle. |
Emperor's Wrath & Veteran Sgt Castor These blessed and sacred suits of armor are from a bygone era, constructed with technology far beyond what is possessed in present times. They are a symbol of the Dark Angels might and only the purest and most skilled marines are granted the honor to wear terminator armor into battle. These Terminators rely on storm bolters to lay down a deadly barrage of fire while in close combat they smite their foes with powerfists. One suit has been upgraded by Techmarine Petrus to carry a small bay of cyclone missiles. Veteran Sgt Castor: is the senior Marine Sergeant of the whole Assault Force, he is often consulted by Quadratus personally on matters of tactics. His knowledge of combat and his instincts are never wrong, he know no fear and has never broken from combat no matter what the odds. Many times the Dark Angels have rallied to the flashing energy arcs of his deadly power sword. |
Breach Squad Primus & Veteran Sgt. Beorthnoth The most counted on and versatile squad, Primus is called on to handle all kinds of combat but it excels at close quarters work. This squad makes primary use of Vastator (the Forces only working Rhino transport) to close quickly with their foes. A heavy bolter marine provides withering cover fire and the flamer ensures that enemies at close range are quickly dispatched. Veteran Sgt. Beorthnoth: Recruited from the feral world of Kaglak, Beortnoth is a berserker at heart. His skill with a chainsword is legendary and he has a habit of exposing his squad to hostile fire by advancing towards the enemy by the shortest route. |
