Falling from the void like grief made manifest, the Angel's Tears are elite jump-pack warriors who plummet from low orbit to strike an enemy's command at the instant of its greatest confidence. Each is a marksman-killer chosen for cold nerve as much as martial skill, armed with volkite and plasma to burn apart a target and gone again before a counterattack can form. The Legion deploys them as an act of precision cruelty, a single flawless descent that decapitates an enemy host and leaves its leaderless body to rout. Their name is no boast but a lament, for the Blood Angels reserve the Tears for foes they consider already condemned, and the sight of their contrails scoring the sky is, for those below, the last mercy of a swift ending rather than the long horror of a general engagement. Few who face them are given the chance to learn how it feels to survive.
