What forgeworlds, if any, have been know to supply the dark angels? Either before or after the destruction of Caliban? As you can imagine google searches for Forgeworld and Dark Angels does not really help.

The Dark Angels float around, but still stay in the same area as their homeworld (same segmentium). This would be the Segmentum Obscurus, with some notable forge worlds including Antioc, Agripinaa, and the entire Calixis sector. Not quite sure how to nail it down further without looking at a map. Basically, the Dark Angels are on the northern side of the Eye of Terror, with Cadia on the Eastern side. Also, it is worth noting that both Vraks and Vostroya are nearby.
That being said, I believe that most first-founding chapters have a forge of their own in their stronghold (none as impressive as those on Vulcan for the Salamanders, but still impressive by imperial standards).

Thanks, I guess I was hoping that in one of the BL books they would have actualy had interaction with a known forgeworld. Would the Dark Angel's private forge have been on Caliban, or in the fortress itself?

The Dark Angels are hoarding and using some STCs that they refuse to give to the Mechanicus, so they definitely forge at least some of their stuff themselves.

Aren't "Caliban" and "The Fortress" one and the same, now? There isn't much else left after Lion and Luther's duel.

Agreed....Well, technically there isn't a "Calaban" any more period, just The Fortress (AKA "The Rock", or Newfoundland as I think of it). The mid part of the rock is all armory/fabrication by my interpretation, and the lowest section is dungeons.

How big is the rock?

Plenty big.

Pretty well sums it up saddly, iirc it is described as being the size of a moon. AFAIK they largely manufacture/upkeep their own stuff, now they may recruit from a forgeworld, considering they do collect recruits from Piscina IV which is classified as a 'mining world' (according to lexicanum). So whatever you want to do involving Dark Angels and a forge world this is good enough.

Most first founding chapters that still have their original fortresses/worlds/etc. have forges that can build most of what they need. However, they do still oftern depend on the AdMech to provide them with Rhinos, Land Raiders, and other commonly used vehicles.

Brilliant summary. While smaller than a planet, it's hollow so it has more usable space.
