Merry Christmas from everyone at Warhammer Community! We trust the Emperor bestowed the suitable requisitions upon you at this time of sanctioned festivity.
But don’t get distracted by boxes wrapped in shiny paper. What’s that up there on top of the tree, bathed in the Emperor’s light?
It’s an angel, and a decidedly dark one too – the Keeper of the Truth himself, Azrael, Supreme Grand Master.
Abaddon and Vashtorr’s plan to destroy the Imperium has caught the Dark Angels in its jaws. Still recovering from crossing the Rubicon Primaris, Azrael has taken up the legendary Sword of Secrets and his master-crafted combi-plasma, The Lion’s Wrath.
Azrael does not walk into battle alone – wherever he goes, he’s accompanied by a Watcher in the Dark. This mysterious being can carry either his sword’s scabbard or the Lion Helm into battle for him.*
Not only is he geared up to the nines, Azrael also rocks an incredible outfit. Those robes, purity seals, esoteric symbols, flared helmet wings, and that magnificent back banner combine to make him perhaps the most dripped out Chapter Master in the 41st Millennium. Look at the size of him!**
What better way to bow out of 2022 than with an update on a bonafide classic? We’ll uncover more of Azrael’s secrets next year – subscribe to the Warhammer newsletter, so you don’t miss out.
* We’d love a Watcher in the Dark to help us out when playing Warhammer.
** He joins Marneus Calgar, Mephiston, Grimaldus, and Ragnar Blackmane in the official large lads club.
