** The Astartes mow through genestealer cultists and pure-strains, and while the aberants are a challenging surprise, eventually they overcome them. [[spoiler: The fully awakened and pissed-off Patriarch, though? Their bolters don't even ''hurt it'' and it bats them around like cat toys for most of the fight. Only one of them survives the fight, and it took falling to the Black Rage to mortally wound the monster.]]

* SanitySlippage: As if the case with all Blood Angels and their successors, several of the Astartes struggle with the creeping influence of the Black Rage. Those moments when they hallucinate being in the place of their genfather Sanguinius, fighting the Arch-Traitor Horus at the Battle of Terra, thousands of years ago. When emotionally compromised enough, they can completely lose themselves to the illusion, fighting harder and faster but with little semblance of lucidity. While stalwart Chaplains like Rafael and bonds of brotherhood and duty can hold it back, Chief Librarian Mephiston offers this bleak summation:

* AnArmAndALeg: Captain Orpheo loses half of his left arm during his fight against the genestealers. Due to his space marine biology, he doesn't bleed out. Brother Melchior loses his left arm during a genestealer ambush.

* {{BFG}}: Brother Tiro is the squad's devastator marine, and he carries with him a heavy bolter.

* MutualKill: [[spoiler:Ancaeus manages to slay the Broodlord, but dies in the process.]]

* ImColdSoCold: [[spoiler:Severely damaged and his chassis breached, the dreadnought, Ignis, states that he feels cold. He muses that after centuries interred in his chassis, he never thought that we would feel anything again.]]

* WeCanRebuildHim: [[This happens twice to Captain Orpheo. The first being after his first encounter with the Genestealers, where he is outfitted with cybernetics to save him from his mortal wounds. The second is after the final battle, where is is seemingly killed in the aftermath, only for the epilogue to reveal that Hadrael had managed to save Orpheo and interred him in a dreadnought chassis.]]

It was announced that a second season is at works, along with a prequel series called ''"Angels of Death: Origins"''.

* WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture: In the second season of Angel of Death series, a giant-size shell had to be pulled by thousands of Chapter Serfs to Macrocannon.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler:Before exiting the system, Kazarion condemns the planet of Niades to Exterminatus and bombs the city into oblivion.]]

* TheHeavy: The Genestealer Primus and Magus serve as this to their "father", the Genestealer Broodlord, as it slumbers in hibernation. The Primus also serves as this to the Magus, as whilst the latter remains in the tower guarding the Broodlord, the Primus personally leads the cultists to battle the Blood Angels.

** [[spoiler:After it is revealed that Captain Orpheo survived, it is revealed that Magos Castia-Theta-9 had replaced most of Orpheo's body-parts with cybernetics. This was done to save him from death after sustaining severe wounds during his battle against the genestealers.]]

* FireBreathingWeapon: Melchior's weapon of choice was a flamer that he used to deadly effect. [[spoiler:During a Genestealer ambush, Melchior's battle against a genestealer aberrant causes his weapon to explode and taking off one of his arms in the process. He using a bolt pistol from then on.]]

* {{Cyborg}}: Servitors are lobotomized humans transformed into mindless cyborgs generally used for menial tasks and, at times, combat. [[spoiler:Magos Castia-Theta-9 is a techpriest of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and as a standard practice has replaced most of her biological body parts with mechanical replacements. She notably has a cybernetic laser eye.]]

* BFG: Brother Tiro is the squad's devastator marine, and he carries with him a heavy bolter.

* DueToTheDead: When the squad find the bodies of the Terminators who accompanied Captain Orpheo, one of them expresses disgust that they are just left lying in the muck, declaring that such a fate is undeserving for an archangel. [[spoiler:The final episode has Kazarion retrieving the bodies of all the fallen before leaving the system to Baal.]]

* ContinuityNod: As he speaking with Kazarion about the Black Rage, Mephiston makes mention of "Calistarius". Calistarius was Mephiston's former name before he succumbed to the Black Rage and took his current name after managing to overcome it.
