Dark Angels Rumor Roundup

[40kGamer]

I don't think even one of those three items will happen anytime soon so I guess whine and cheese it is!

GW do get customer service, it's one of the things they get from their retail chain, that way they listen to their customers not moaning Internet arseholes.

[Erik Setzer]

I don't think you quite grasp the core concept here.

Deathwing fight exclusively in Terminator armour; that's what makes them Deathwing and not just any old First Company.

I "grasp core concepts" quite well. They've screwed with the Dark Angels background plenty enough already, and it's hard enough to justify how they're the one chapter - despite having less access to resources and all - that can produce and maintain that many suits of TDA. There are also situations where TDA is not preferable, but neither is sending the less-experienced Marines.

It's easy enough to add the option and explain it in the fluff.

Sure, they probably won't. But it doesn't stop someone from wishing.

Oh, and feel free to leave insulting comments about how much someone "grasps" the concepts of the fluff he's been reading for nearly 30 years at the door. They add nothing to the conversation except unnecessary tension.

[Houghten]

The tension is entirely necessary!

Non-TDA DA veterans get to be Company Veterans. We have them already. Talk about adding unnecessary stuff...

[Mr Mystery]

Deathwing was released 24 years ago..... just sayin'.

Are there "Company Veterans" in the DA codex? I didn't pick up the last one (thankfully).

If they're in there, I'm painting the buggers in bone white armor, because as far as I'm concerned, DA vets are Deathwing, regardless of the armor they wear.

Yep, and Caliban was just a recruiting world, not their homeworld, and was attacked by Genestealers, with no mention of a civil war within the Dark Angels.

Just sayin'.

tale of two heads talking was about the fall BTW.

the genestealer invasion was the chaos cult on caliban that tried to free the chaos demon at its core..... which zahariel banished with its true name..... keping the demon handy for later.
the brothers dying on the world is a representation of the fall, and how brother could not trust brother.

it is the way the DA are brought up in the ranks of the order.... i think i may have said too much to a non ordr member.... no doubt lord cypher will be displeased.... i must go... forget you saw me and hope the watchers get you before you spead the word.

That's definitely how it was rewritten.

Yes, they're in the 6th Edition Codex. Aside from points costs, if you've read the 4th Edition Codex, you already know what their options are.

The 6th Edition Codex also introduced Black Knights; the Ravenwing Veterans. I'm curious to see whether you'd paint them bone or black or your brush would just output "403[url=http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/11/episode-610-logic/].[/url]"

in some of the tidbits is mentioned the following:
"Dark angels are known for their discipline (even guilliman respects says that) need proof? look at the overwatch fire of a battle demi-company!"

and "dark angels are known to attack hard and fast. expect the deathwing to assault on turn 2"
