## Resource

In the grimdark setting of the 41st Millennium, there are countless horrors both Xenos and Manmade to be found across the Galaxy.

Of those, there are none more legendary, and perhaps infamous, than the Emperor's Angels. The iconic and triumphant Space Marines. But just what are these mutant super soldiers? Do they still hold on to their humanity? Join Ross and Alexis as they plummet down in a drop pod to discover the truth!
