Angels Eradicant

The Angels Eradicant are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and genetic origin. They are one of the Chapters founded as part of the Astartes Praeses — one of the 20 Chapters of Astartes mentioned in the ancient tome known as the Mythos Angelica Mortis that was created to defend the regions surrounding the Eye of Terror in the Segmentum Obscurus from the forces of Chaos. More than half of the Chapter’s fighting force was killed during the campaign of the 13th Black Crusade remembered as the Slaughter at Salandraxis by Khornate Chaos Space Marines, including its Chapter Master Solucious Gaul and most of the Chapter’s Veterans. It is unknown whether the Chapter was truly wiped out, or if there were other companies who were not present on the Shrine World of Salandraxis during the fighting.
