Full Army Photo
i am playing this dark angels army through the standard space marine codex, while the dark angels codex is still viable and the special characters and abilities within it are good i find that the higher point costs and the inability of take certian new units like the ironclad deadnought as a major short coming. i am hoping for a new codex in the future and when it arrives i will without hesitation transfer back to it, but in the meantime i find that the standard marine codex is a bit better.
missing from this are 3 attack bikes, 10 tactical marines, a dev team, and a whirlwind wich are all in various stages of assembly and painting
Unit Photos
This is Cypher the fallen a chaos lord model that i have worked into my army and i play him as a chapter master or a captain
i made this banner using the emperior generals kit from warhammer fantasy. i also have magnets between the standard and the bearer so that i can swap standards and use this as a battle feild objective if i so wish
the polearms that the two vet's at the front carry i custom build using the blade of a chain sword, the arm and shaft of a thunder hammer, and the base and counder weight is a shaved down dwarf hatchet
this is my rendition of deathwing master Belial, he is a standard terminator lord model

Why I Started This Army
i really just like the look and feel of the army. the robes, the watchers in the dark, and of course being the 1st legion of the emperor is pretty cool and is something that you can hold over other latter legions. the fluff behind the legion is also really cool stuff, the fallen, watchers in the dark , where the primarch is and the theories on why cypher is heading to terra to kill the emperor
