Don't be ridiculous. Larps are much more organized and balanced than 7th edition 40k yet still forge better narratives. You should feel bad for comparing them.

You know, there's a lot of similarities between the one I'm thinking of and GW now that you mention it.

Dustomamcy.... Win

At least with the way things are shaping up, the owner of my college town's FLGS for 40k will actually start playing now that he no longer has "the worst army in the game".

Inb4 Dark Angels are better than vanilla marines. Though it would be funny to see Unforgiven Tacs in blue, or White Scars proxied as Ravenwing.

Also, the new formations seem to be a great start to the codex. But it is a bit worrying to see no mention of Black Knights. Maybe they're now an upgrade to the standard Ravenwing/Ravenwing Command?

That's what I'm really hoping!

I think we just saw what the basic "green wing" detachment consisted of.

I think maybe the more specialized troopers like the terminator knights or the black knights might be limited to their specific detachment styles.

If I had to guess anyway.

Also outside of Eldar(and really that is two or three things) I have been very happy with all of the books they have been putting out recently. Even the formations people freak out about once you actually look at the points and what they can do its not auto take and really lends to a diversity of lists that we can expect to see on the table. I think that says a lot, and looks good for the game in general.

I mean if Dark Angels are getting three, imagine what Chaos will look like if they dont feth it up.....

I also highly doubt they dropped the black knights as they are in the new battle force box

Not to mention they are fleshed-out tremendously in the latest Dark Angels trilogy from Black Library... And they are in the bottom of that picture at the top of page 17.

Nah that'll be the discipline for Codex: Thousand Sons

There is a page in the white dwarf mentioning two other detachments called the Deathwing Strike Force and Ravenwing Strike Force. So expect three different core detachments for the Dark Angels probably similar to what the Eldar got in their warhost.

There is an image, I think it's on page 34 of the rumor section on bolter and chainsword that mentions it. It is from a french copy of the white dwarf but someone was kind enough to translate.

Could be a Belial conversion, or a company master.

Handily enough, there's a successor with the right color scheme for that!

Definitely better than Insomnomancy... which has been cast on me recently, I think.

Before you exalt that, think about the implications of the Rock being the local gay pub near GW HQ when 2nd ed was being written and Lionel Johnson being a repressed homosexual poet...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What 'implications'? Or is this Homophobomancy?

OMG you just single-handedly ruined the DA and their primarch in my eyes! I don't think I can take them seriously from this point onwards. Why!? Sweet Ignorance... Why?!

Back on topic, please.

Stop with the crap gay jokes.....

Lionel Johnson also wrote a poem called The Dark Angel.

BTW, the comment I made earlier wasn't meant to be homophobic, the fact the word rhymes with -mancy (autocorrect tried to change mancy to that word too) was kinda funny to me, especially considering the origins of the Dark Angels naming.

Nothing wrong with it, I'm just asking him to reconsider the implications because the Lion's blade may not be going where he thinks it is.

My personal theory is that Luther wasn't jealous of the lion. The Lion was in love with Luther, and left Luther behind so he wouldn't be endangered in the Heresy campaign. His love was unrequited, however, and the rumour spread amongst the terran Dark Angels still stationed on Caliban. When he returned and found this out in his rage he ordered Caliban and the Terran Dark Angels destroyed in a jealous rage and to keep his secret.

This explains all the homoerotic tension in the uh, torture dungeons manned by Space Marine Priests. Okay, I'll stop now.

Indeed.

So anyway (sorry about that), I wonder if Greenwing will be worth taking. I am more excited about this book than either of my own armies'. DA have been low tier for too long.

ABSOLUTELY!
The theme of this book seems to be making Greenwing viable and we've already seen them getting their version of the Battle Company whatchamajig, so one could only imagine what sort of new tricks Greenwing will be able to pull...
I still don't want it though, I want a DeathRaven combo!

I honestly would rather see a straight dedication to only RW/DW with a blurb about a chapter tactics and access to DA artifacts for the green boyz and a use CSM.

Maybe its because since 4th edition I've used CSM for my green DA. I see no reason to reprint CSM and change the names and omit a bunch of stuff that DA would have as much access to as every other chapter. Then just plob some stuff about over costed bikes and terminators (because its a safe bet that will likely happen).

I wonder if DW/RW will actually be made interesting. I wonder if WS will eventually get a formation that will erode away any reason to play RW. I wonder if the only reason the DA codex will be playable is because we will end up buying a color changed CSM.

Hopefully they won't repeat the mistake of making DA the anti-C:SMs.
