** Sanguinis is perhaps the closest thing to an actual angel; son of a [[Physical God]], feathery wings, totally [[Bishonen|bishie]], and pretty nice [[Black and Grey Morality|for that universe]]. But in his death throes, the [[Super Soldier|Space Marines]] made from his genetic material were afflicted with a propensity towards madness, and [[Our Vampires Are Different|a thirst for blood...]]
* Meanwhile, [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] has the [http://www.goblin-online.net/download/allumina.txt daemons of Alluminas], one of the [[Light Is Not Good|gods of law]], which resemble angels and are named after angelic classes.
* A creature type in ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'', the most famous of which is the classic [https://web.archive.org/web/20090411232947/http://ww2.wizards.com/gathererGatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=270 Serra Angel].

And of course, Black has its share of [https://web.archive.org/web/20080810130350/http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=26660 Fallen Angels].
** Each plane's angels are a bit different: [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=46546 Mirrodin] has cyborg angels, while others [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=188965 were cyberneticized] during the Conflux of Alara. All but the [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=193660 most] [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=190407 powerful] of Zendikar's angels were shackled by [[Eldritch Abomination|the Eldrazi]] with their [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=189159 haloes] [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=197160 as blindfolds].
