Lost
“There are three main Death Company units in the attachment – Marines, Intercessors ** and Dreadnoughts – plus two named Characters, Chaplain Lemartes and Tycho The Lost. *** However, you will be able to recruit one Captain and two Lieutenants to the Death Squad in each Blood Angels Platoon. We hesitate to call this ‘upgrade’ as you doom them to a violent death, but for a nominal price in Power / points, they will definitely not be left behind on the battlefield. “
“Of course, the presence of multiple Death Company Headquarters options unlocks the ability to drive an entire Detachment – even an entire army – into the field only for Death Company units.”
Death Company in the Crusade
“In Crusade, you can even sacrifice a Death Company unit for the benefit of the rest of your Crusade power. After all, dying in battle before insanity fully claims them is the ultimate goal of those who fell for Black Rage, and their death is a lesson learned by anyone who witnesses it.
