Editing Angel's Tears

[[File:AngelsTears.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Now that's a face that came out from Scream!]]
The Angel's Tears, also known as the '''Erelim''', '''Broken Blade''', '''Silver Masks''', or '''Dead Hand''', were warriors of the [[Blood Angels]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. They were effectively the Vampire's version of a [[Destroyer Squad]], but with more unique gimmicks. More can be read below.

==Overview==
Unlike conventional Destroyer Squads, these guys were equipped with Jump Packs to quickly get into the situation and lay unholy waste upon the enemies of mankind. Each individual warrior bore the title Erelim and served as [[Sanguinius]]' personal bench pressers for folks deemed too irredeemable for even someone as bro-tier as Papa Sang to tolerate. In such instances, the Great Angel promptly went "Fuck this!" and goes mask off with his nice guy facade to [[Anal circumference|fuck things up.]] They were among the most commonly seen warriors of the Innermost "Sphere" of the Legion, serving the role of Destroyers.

Befitting their dark duty, they wore silver death masks etched with oaths of retribution. As with the other warriors of the First "Sphere" of the Blood Angels, such as the [[Sanguinary Guard]] and [[Crimson Paladin]]s, the Angel's Tears forsook their old names and identities and took up new ritual titles, symbolic of their new roles as true Angels of Death. Angel's Tears were said to eventually return to normal Legion service, removing their death masks and taking up their old names. This was to distance them from the death and slaughter they caused while serving as the Angel's Tears. Confusingly enough or maybe because of [[Plot Armor]], members of the Angel's Tears don't really contract [[Cancer]] despite using the same radioactive weapons as other Destroyer Squads. Maybe their bishie vampire sparkles proved too HAWT for Cancer to spread?

The Angel's Tears took to the field only at the direct order of Sanguinius himself, only when the complete destruction of an enemy was deemed necessary. They were armed with a variety of taboo and exotic weapons such as [[Rad Missile Launcher]]s, [[Grenades & Explosives#Phosphex Bomb#|Phosphex Grenades]], [[Volkite Serpenta]]s, [[Chainsword]]s and the Blood Angels exclusive [[Rad Grenade Launcher]]s. They can sometimes swap out their 'standard-issue' weapons for [[Melta Bomb]]s, [[Heavy Flamer]]s, [[Assault Cannon|Iliastus Assault Cannons]], [[Rotor Cannon]]s or a [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword|Heavy Chainsword]]. The leading '''Arch-Erelim''' on the other hand, can exchange his [[Chainsword]] for a [[Chain Weapon#Heavy Chainblade/Chainsword|Heavy Chainsword]], [[Power Fist]], [[Thunder Hammer]], a [[Lightning Claws|Lightning Claw]] or a [[Power Weapon]], he can also trade one or both [[Volkite Serpenta]]s for [[Plasma Pistol]]s.

As folks within the innermost sphere of Papa Sang's cohort, they all wore [[Awesome|sick-ass]] [[Artificer Armour]] (Maybe that could be the reason why they avoided radiation poisoning).

==Crunch==
On the tabletop, they are the Blood Angels-exclusive Destroyers that come stock with two Volkite Serpentas, Chainswords, Rad Grenades and jump packs by default. Any model can exchange one Serpenta for Heavy Flamers, Iliastus Assault Cannons (yes, the whole squad can take them), Rotor Cannons, Heavy Chainswords or an Angel`s Tears Grenade Launchers, which are S4, AP4, 24" Assault 3 Rad Weapons with ''Rad-phage'' and ''Fleshbane''. The entire unit can also take Melta Bombs for 25 points. In short, they are a lot more shooty than the basic Destroyer Assault Squad and better in most situations.
