Dark Angels Rumor Roundup

[Power Klawz]

El'jonson, El'jonson
6 foot 8 weighs a ****ing ton
unforgiven beware,
traitor legions beware,
he's coming, he's coming, he's coming...

Let me lay it on the line he had two on the vine
dual redundant ventricles, so divine
on a horse made of metal he patrolled the land,
with his primarch's gifts and power sword and his perfect hands

Here comes Jonson, in control
women dug his honor and his gallant stroll
ate opponents brains and invented cocaine
he's coming, he's coming, he's coming

El'Jonson, El'jonson
6 foot 20 ****ing killing for fun
swam, swam the sea of stars
he's coming, he's coming. he's coming

Sue me if I go to fast but other chapters wish that he was their dad
got a heart for his heart and a black carapace
he'll kick you apart
he'll kick you apart, ooooh!

He'll save children but not heretic children
He'll save children but not heretic children
He'll save children but not heretic children
He'll save children but not heretic children

He had a pistol full of plasma, ****ed the **** out of bears
he threw a knife into The Eye
and could kill with a stair
He made love like an aquila falling out of the sky
killed a sensei in a duel and he never said why

El'Jonson, El'jonson
Twelve stories high made of radiation
The present beware
The future beware
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming

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]"

I'd be tempted to try a combination. Predominantly black as they're members of the Ravenwing, but with some bone white to represent being veterans of the chapter.

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"

Also found over on warseer, the origin looks to be 4chan and came with the codex picture Master Sheol posted to B&C

Also he had the following comments:
-Dark angels get their own discipline.
-the first power is a curse that affects all enemy units within 9" of the psyker. affected units have to roll 3d6 on morale, fear and pinning tests.
-"Dark angels are known for their discipline (even guilliman respects says that) need proof? look at the overwatch fire of a battle demi-company!"
-"dark angels are known to attack hard and fast. expect the deathwing to assault on turn 2"


also one more picture from Warseer

Another addition found on Warseer and B&C not sure who had it first.


Interesting points:
- Unit of whirlwinds so it looks like we will get squadrons
- No Ravenwing knights, do we lose them, are they elsewhere or do they become the standard bikes and replace the old ones as the old bikes are not in the battleforce.
- Generic company master for DW redemption force
- Ravenwing attack bike squad, does this mean we will lose the add to the std bike squads option?

No option to replace Assualt/Devs with Centurions so special chapters not getting them, could have guessed that from BAs and SWs though

Rumors have said there'd be three of these type of formations: Demi-Company (basic Tactical Company), Deathwing, and Ravenwing. It's quite possible they're restricting Ravenwing Knights to the Ravenwing formation.

Wonder if they'll soup up the fliers any?

Nice models, rules weren't quite the full shilling.

On balance that would be the most probable option at this point in time.

Love that codex cover! Previous one was well done, but a bit bland I thought - this looks a lot better I feel.
