Dark Angels Sacred Standards

The Sacred Standards of the Dark Angels are three Standards that date back to the Great Crusade. It is custom for only one to be used at any given time by the Dark Angels; the remaining two are held in the Great Hall of The Rock.[1]

The Sacred Standards

Standard of Retribution

The Standard of Retribution serves to remind the Dark Angels that the enemies of the Emperor can never be forgiven. They are inspired to fight on under any circumstance, smiting their foes with righteous fury.[1]

Standard of Fortitude

The Standard of Fortitude represents the unstoppable courage of the Dark Angels. It inspires any nearby Dark Angel to press the attack, heedless of threats to themselves.[1]

Standard of Devastation

The Standard of Devastation symbolizes the defiance and devastating retaliation for which the Dark Angels are famed. Throughout its history, the banner has flown above numerous last stands, often found atop piles of enemy dead.[1]
