Blood Angels Relics & Wargear: 9th Edition 40k Rules
Starting with the relics, there are some pretty interesting choices here. Especially the Visage of Death, Icon of the Angel, and the Wrath of Baal.
The Visage of Death could really take an enemy by surprise, thinking they are safe on an objective, then bam! No more Obsec, and you steal it away. Rerolling charge rolls is always an amazing ability, so you can’t complain about that! The Wrath of Baal doesn’t seem too insane, but adding that extra 2 inches to Jump Pack dudes can really make a huge difference. Especially when you need to get into combat as fast as possible, and can re-roll charges with the Icon.
The Flesh Tearers Relics are pretty interesting as well. Mortal wounds on 5+ in addition to other damage can really add up. Gaining extra movement on a Terminator is always awesome, and being able to advance and charge can catch people by surprise for sure.

Special Issue Wargear
Nothing here is too crazy but some nice little additions. The Gleaming Pinions give you tons of flexibility and the option of falling back to charge again and again with all the bonuses that come with the Blood Angels. If you’re playing against Chaos, be sure to take the Archangel’s Shard. Having a weapon at 4 damage against, Chaos Monsters is just insane. With 5 or 6 attacks, they won’t last long, even if they have like 15 wounds. The Fleshrender Grenades are also a super fun little addition and are really good against high wound, good save infantry.
