Namaan........ YEEESSS!

Who is Namaan?

Old school dark angel scout(?) from back in the day. I remember him from third but he might be before that.

I am looking forward to dark angels, mainly as an allied contingent. I want to see if they will make my space marine army more competitive, because currently they are not. I also am excited to see the direction that the armies are going to be taking, since there is no rumors of space marines in 2013 it could be awhile before they get a new book, which is interesting in that they will only have a book for 1/'2 the life of the edition. Maybe they are waiting to see how 6th edition plays out for a year or so before making adjustments to their biggest book since it needs to cover so much ground.

I have heard both the DVish interrogator Chaplin and Radagast will be available after May and June of 2013 respectively.

...existing characters moved to finecast.

Dark Angels recieve a Full codex - not a White Dwarf update.

I like the idea of a deathwing box set. and I wonder how the Ravenwing set will differ from the one thats currently out there. Hopefully more landspeeders. The Mystery Vehicle I think is probabaly the "Raven's Talon" We've heard about in other posts.

I can't wait to have an actual Belial model.

I'm sure the deathwing set is just 5x terminators.
The ravenwing set is likely 3x bikers.

I doubt these are going to be battleforces. Instead they'll probably remake the dark angels battle force.

I would just like to know if the power armor set is going to have the same old DA upgrade sprue or if they're going to do away with it. May pick up another frame for the robed feet if we can get some idea of what the new models look like.

The only thing "new" about those characters is Belial getting an official model and Asmodai+Naaman getting updated models and returning to the Codex.

Color me slightly disappointed.

From rumors I've read Asmodai will be in terminator armor now, so really 2 new sculpts plus Naaman will hopefully be a new sculpt.

Just? If they are robed terminators then a dream finally would come true ... but I am not convinced yet that it will happen

I think it is safe to assume that it will be a re-release of the Dark Vengeance Terminators in their own box, similar to how Chaos got a little box of Cultists.

If they do, how are we supposed to get different wargear options for them? Especially stuff like a terminator plasma cannon. Can't imagine they'll do that, especially since the DV models offer limited conversion possibilities

A. The Plasma Cannon for Terminators Rumour might not be true.

B. They might make an additional upgrade sprue that would add another variant weapons (as well as perhaps a new head or two), possibly even a few bits to identify the other 2W Terminators if it became true (similar to the GKT / Paladin box).


But there are (a) no rumours whatsoever about robed Terminators, (b) they never had robes and always ran their Native American schtick and (c) it would break the visual continuity with the Dark Vengeance box.


In the "official" Dark Angels armies shown by GW, Robes have always been used to make characters stand out. I can see a finecast character in robed Terminator armour. But it just seems highly unlikely that we'll see robed Terminators (Besides, what after that? A robed Dread? A robed Tank? A Space Marine flyer trailing giant bed-sheets?)

Well, surely that's better than stuffing it full of unnecessary SCs, like Dark Eldar and Grey Knights? I mean, yeah, they were pretty cool, but they felt a bit excessive.

It would make drying them a cinch. Plus they'd have that nice outdoorsy smell to them...

Sweet tanks with a skirt kit. Finally a way to truly pimp out their rides!

I see Plasma Cannons for terminators being quite overpowered unless they give the upgrade a hefty point cost.

How so? You can put them on Dreadnoughts or take a Leman Russ in a Guard army that can drop 5 per turn.

I would imagine a plasma cannon upgrade would cost about the same as an assault cannon or cyclone missile launcher, which are already pretty pricey.

Sure! Lets make the Dark Angels spam plasma cannons the way Space wolves spam missile launcher!

Yeah, Space Wolves, Grey Knights and everyone else gets all these blinged out kits, and Dark Angels get a boring kit of click-on Terminators with predetermined poses

It would be quite amusing if GW were pathetic enough to actually try to pull that one on us, but I very much doubt it.

Why would you doubt it? They gave us the same freggin cultists.

And because of that it automatically means that the Deathwing = DV Terminators, Ravenwing = DV bikes, Hellbrute = DV Hellbrute, etc?

It is not happening. I can't believe you people are actually thinking this will be what the Dark Angels release will be, lmao!

hey, they're nice sculpts. I don't have a problem with it.

The cultists have no more options other than they could get in DV, so there would be no need to put resources into making a new box for them because they cant make them with anything else. Makes for what they did there.

Terminators on the other hand, have (rumored) so many options that I highly highly highly doubt they would just re box DV stuff. Seems silly talking about that happening tbh.

Yes of course it is.

I suppose we are getting the duplicate pose as well

On the other hand, going in with low expectations means you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Well, with anything else. Games Workshop things, people will just find something else to moan about!

If it is an option, the way I run my mixed wing force I doubt I'd give my deathwing Plasma Cannons. My two tactical squads already have them, so I'll focus on cyclone missile launchers and assault cannons for the heavy ordnance on my termies.

I doubt they would re box DV stuff simply because it would require more effort than the 2 existing lackluster option covering boxes already and another DV clone box would be pointless unless people really wanted those models. I would expect them to give us nothing and tell us to chin up and buy both Terminator boxes to build single mixed squads etc etc etc, before a DV box honestly.

Though with a new book now would be a great time to make a new Deathwing box that actually has at least 50% of the squad options or more in a single box. Even with no shortage of Terminators I would consider a couple boxes of those just to say "ABOUT TIME".

Well Chaos got a total of ZERO new special characters. And they didn't even get Doomrider back!

You have it backwards. The reason why cultists have so few options is because there is no multipart plastic box set planned for them. If they wanted to, GW could easily bring DW into line with the DV models by simply eliminating all upgrade options except for chainfists and assault cannons. Of course we all know they won't do this because cultists are puny humans unworthy of a multipart plastic kit while DW are mighty space marine terminators that need their own dedicated multipart plastic kit because they can't possibly be represented by any of the 4 other multipart plastic space marine terminator box sets currently on the market.
