I might actually use it for my CSM.

Landspeeder Vengance becomes an aircraft and gains 1hp and 2 front armour.
New formation "Deaf Wing", immune to Chaos magiks cos they can't hear the words of heretics.

DA get centuries, storm ravens, storm talons, tfc and stern guard.
Same scale of points adjustment to all units, and changes to scouts as well as several formations on par or even better then the vanilla dex.

Dw become competitive.

Flyers and variant ls become competitive.

Da players no long need to max out rw and/or bolted banner to stand a chance.

This is ment to be satirical and imposible right?

Special edittiuyon will ship with a 200 kg ceremonial aqulla cast in lead. To use the bonus formations this must be present at every game.

Tournament rules will confur a -6 leadership test for every unit every turn if not brought within 6 feet of the gaming area.

GW will release a single new squad sprue, followed by several limited edition, pay to win formations that make this squad invincible. Everything else will be nerfed to ensure sales of this squad.

Anything that makes this army stand out compared to vanilla marines will be removed to ensure balance.

Nothing that was added to the vanilla marines will be added to the codex.

The fluff for the codex will consist of pages copy pasted from the previous codex with random stories deleted to make room for hastily written fanfiction from someone who has never actually read the fluff.

There is a -5 leadership penalty to all of your units if you play with this codex because you have betrayed your spiritual liege and can never be an Ultramarine.

There is a playable Watcher in the Dark character called Master Yoba, who is a master psyker, unrobed with floppy green ears, a green glowing 'Force' sword, and a dyslexic speech impediment.

He knows t he dark secret that Luthor... is Azraels fatherrrrrr....

This is supposed to be a false and made up rumors thread. Not an "in all likely news this is what you have to look forward to da players" thread. For that see the post in news and rumors

This codex will satisfy Dark Angel players and stop their constant whining... But that'll never happen!

(A joke, please do not be offended)

shortly followed by a super op CSM book to get that complaining done with. Then we'll get an under powered eldar book, followed up with a sisters of battle codex with a new full plastic kit line.

Dark Angels will get Grav weapons and heavy flamers in Tac squads. Their scouts go to BS4, and their Dreadnoughts get 4 attacks base.

Formations will be featured for every conceivable unit and playstyle, including at least one that the internet will falsely decry as "OP".

The new Interrogator-Chaplain will be so good you'll want to run him in every army.

Deathwing will get the fix that all Terminators have needed, and Ravenwing will be better than White Scars.

Their flyers will be both cheap enough to field and effective for their points costs.

Azrael will be a LoW, and will unlock Deathwing and Ravenwing as troops because why not.

In short, Dark Angels will be better than regular Space Marines.

There will be stats for Luther and the Fallen. It is only available online when you buy the Dark Angel Legion box. The secret is out. Dark Angels don't have Chapters but a Legion.

So to field Luther and company you will need to buy the Lutherian Legion box set. It will be on sale for 50% off and it will not be a limited time offer.

The long hunt for the Fallen finally ends when, in a moment of clarity (and Hollywoodism) the Unforgiven realize they were the Fallen the whole time, and that the treasure was knowledge, and knowing is half the battle.

Grav cannons on attack bikes!

2 Grav cannons on landspeeders!

Vengaence grav battery!

Grav grenades!

Banner of Graviton!

New DA specific Psychic discipline ""Gravmancy"

GI JOE!

(thanks for getting this rolling, gong to be hard not to repeat myself what with us doing this just a year or two ago)

There will be no new models for this codex because, with the previous codex 2 years ago, the DAs achieved perfection. No wait, that's not a fake rumor is it...

DAs however get a new upgrade to drop pods, the Closet Class Drop Pod. DAs who come out of the Closet Class automatically cause terror and horror among their foes.

For some unknown reason Eldar and Emperor's Children are immune to the horror of coming of the Closet.

Cypher is in the new DA codex...

...as the new DA Supreme Grand Master!

He's been Azrael the whole time...

This codex will include (INCLUDE not a download or supplement) a very well written, working, and balanced section for playing your models as the fallen, ensuring Dark Angels players are given a wide variety of viable play options, and at a lower cost!

I heard there will be more than one viable build

New fluff in the section regarding the Ravenwing:
"John Stalvernius waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were fallen in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Mastur Sammyul were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. John was a dork angle for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the land speeders and he said to chaplin "I want to be on the bikes daddy."
Chaplin said "No! You will BE KILL BY FALLENS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the fortress-monastery base of the rock he knew there were fallen.
"This is Sammyul" the vox crackered. "You must fight the fallen!"
So John gotted his palsma cannon and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the fallen
"I will shoot at him" said the fallen commandur and he fired the krak missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the fallen" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the fallen"
And then John was Cypher."

And yet, probably still better than some of Matt Ward's writing.

Dark Angels Chapter Tactics is changed to: "The model must wear a hood".

There's gona be a new Deathwing formation. You must take 5 squads of terminators and Captain or Belial. The turn they arrive via deepstrike, they must run and die or die and run.

If you get 2 Deathwing formations, they form a Wingdeath super-formation. In this formation, every squad can purchase a free dedicated landraider with whatever gear you want for free. However, all the models in the Wingdeath super-formation must have Dark Angels chapter tactics. And vehicles can't have chapter tactics (or wear hoods), so you can't purchase them.

The dark angels will be good. Like space marines +2.


Hahahahahah. Yeah right.

Azrael, being in charge of a giant space monastery loaded with guns, will figure out how to call in an orbital bombardment.

Belial, seeing Captain Agemman had his strike force ultra, will make his own strike force. With more hoods, and potentially heretical secrets.

Sammael will see how much love that Kor'sarro Khan is getting, and get jealous. The Ravenwing will paint itself white, and grow moustaches in an attempt to one up the famous khan.

The battle companies of the Dark Angels will all learn to use Demi and battle companies, in an attempt to better emulate the scions of their spiritual liege.

Deathwing formations will grant preferred enemy: chaos, with no further clarification. Rules lawyers will be quick to argue that there is no faction simply called chaos, and thus will be useless.

The cost of thunder hammers will go up in deathwing terminator squads. The price per model for deathwing terminators will drop by 5ppm.

Ravenwing will lose hit and run. However, the Ravenwing formation that requires you to buy an attack bike and landspeeder for every squad will give it back.

Dark angel chapter tactics will be Stubborn and Inner Circle. They will get their own set of combat doctrines that will involve gimmicky things like over watching at full ballistic skill for a turn or gaining precision shot for a turn.

There will be a limited edition formation that will be a combined Ravenwing/Deathwing force, cost nearly a thousand dollars, but allow deathwing Knights to assault out of deep strike if it used a teleport homer from a Ravenwing bike squad, and also allow any Ravenwing unit that scout moved to shoot twice. Limited to 50 sets, of course. Buy yours today!

Also, instead of a Watcher in the Dark, he is accompanied by a miniature giant space hamster.

Belial, seeing Captain Agemman had his strike force ultra, will make his own strike force. With more hoods, and potentially heretical secrets.

This "Strike Force Death" can, fittingily enough, take one Deathstrike Missile per squad for free.

Sammael will see how much love that Kor'sarro Khan is getting, and get jealous. The Ravenwing will paint itself white, and grow moustaches in an attempt to one up the famous khan.

And because ravens aren't white they shall from this day onwards be known as Seagullwing.

The battle companies of the Dark Angels will all learn to use Demi and battle companies, in an attempt to better emulate the scions of their spiritual liege.

False! Instead, there will be options to use Ironwing, Stormwing or Dreadwing companies as they used to do before Girlyman wrote his pamphlet.

Deathwing formations will grant preferred enemy: chaos, with no further clarification. Rules lawyers will be quick to argue that there is no faction simply called chaos, and thus will be useless.

The next time GW releases a FAQ, in 2019, vanilla marines, tau and harlequins are included in this aforementioned "chaos", because reasons. Forge the narrative!

The cost of thunder hammers will go up in deathwing terminator squads. The price per model for deathwing terminators will drop by 5ppm.

At the same time, DW knights will go up 1 W, T, I, A and WS. Price decreased by 15 ppm.

Ravenwing will lose hit and run. However, the Ravenwing formation that requires you to buy an attack bike and landspeeder for every squad will give it back.

Ravenwing also gain Preferred Enemy: White Scars and Eldar Jetbikes.

Dark angel chapter tactics will be Stubborn and Inner Circle. They will get their own set of combat doctrines that will involve gimmicky things like over watching at full ballistic skill for a turn or gaining precision shot for a turn.

This proves that GW are secretly Dark Angels, because they are too stubborn to give this idea up and give us something cool instead. This must be arch-heretic Matt "Luther" Ward's doing.

There will be a limited edition formation that will be a combined Ravenwing/Deathwing force, cost nearly a thousand dollars, but allow deathwing Knights to assault out of deep strike if it used a teleport homer from a Ravenwing bike squad, and also allow any Ravenwing unit that scout moved to shoot twice. Limited to 50 sets, of course. Buy yours today!

DW get free Land Raiders too if you have at least 5 squads! DW knights get permanent smite-mode with str D in this formation. Plasma talons in this formation lose Gets Hot and get 36" range. Again, reasons.

Each Deathwing Terminator becomes a cool 45 points, because the number "44" is less aesthetically pleasing.

A new sprue will be released with bigger Dark Angel logos on every available surface. GW found out that people were using DA bikers with the emblems filed off for non-DA armies and sees it as competition. Sues self in confusion.

Due to an unfortunate typo, all fluff will accidentally be replaced with the UM fluff. The chapter colors and logo will also change to ultramarine blue and a white horseshoe. DA will get a new LoW named Matt Ward who buffs all adjacent SM units to have 2+ rerollable plot armor and D3 USRs of choice every turn.

Matt Ward's model comes with a crappy vox recording of Ward saying "All hail the Emperor!" and a credit card reader which allows you to buy rerolls for any rolls made during the game, even other rerolls.

Dark Angels will realize their folly, and strictly adhere to Codex Astartes. As such, the new codex will cost $50 and will give you the rules for Chapter Tactics (Dark Angels). In order to use these rules you must own a copy of the Space Marine codex.

I might die of laughter. Everything about this is perfect.

The Dark Angels will get a new, even less aerodynamic flyer called the Angel Storm Gunship. This exciting new kit features Dark Angels iconography on every conceivable surface. Two Marines hang off the sides on little balconies firing off Heavy Bolters without any form of protection whatsoever. There will be FIVE statues on top of the Angel Storm Gunship featuring the Emperor, the Lion, a Robed Figure, a Hooded Figure and Steve from accounting. It is impressively armed with TWO twin linked Heavy Bolters mounted under the wings and one whole Avenger bolt cannon which is still not the superior version sold by Forge World.

Deathwing Terminators now have the Fear and Soulblaze special rule and cost 10 pts more per model for the privilege. Strike fear into the hearts of heretics and burn their sins away!

Dark Angels get a single clam pack $30 miniature that features skulls and hoods and more skulls and angels oh wait.
