Flesh Tearers

The Flesh Tearers is the smallest Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, once numbering only four full companies of Astartes at their nadir before the Devastation of Baal. They are Loyalists of the Emperor of Mankind though their heavy affliction with the genetic flaws of their Primarch Sanguinius and the resulting brutality has led to their investigation on charges of heresy by the Inquisition. They have been cleared of suspicion at present. Like their progenitors, the Flesh Tearers are known for their bloodthirsty nature in battle, bad temper and are feared for the flaws like the Black Rage and the Red Thirst that they carry within their gene-seed.
