I know we just got our Rules, some of them anyway. Do any other Angels of Darkness use say the Deathwing Knights, unitl we get our special units, or any other ideas. that goes the same for the Blood Angels peoples out there.

DeadWingman

no special units for: DA, BA, WS
No rules for: TS or SW

as for deathwing: wasn't that a post-fallen thing? I assume DA will have some special stabby artificer squad and some special bikes, but did they have special terminators during the heresy?

Deathwing
Ravenwing
Ironwing
Dreadwing
Flamewing

These are the wings of the dark angels "wings" in 30k.

the last one was seen in HH book 6, the dreadwing are in unrembered empire, Ironwing was brought back in book 6 too.

Well every army is getting special terminators, even white scars.
So yeah go for itm but I would use cataphracts sufficently blinged for them.

Nnnnnnope, not all of them. Imperial Fists, Word Bearers, Night Lords, and Raven guard all don't have special terminators

Not even all of the Legions have Special Terminators mentioned in the fluff so far. The Ravens have the Deliverers and the Night Lords have the Atramenar but I dont think the Fists or the Bearers have any mentioned.

Though thinking about it, some Gal Vorbak Terminators would be cool...

No stop, the LAST thing we need is Gal Vorbak Terminators

I could just "counts as" the Custodes as Gal Vorbak Terminators.

Unlikely, as I'd probably just play the Custodes as Custodes.

I'm just going to use regular Legion units until Forge World releases Sanguinius and our proto-Sanguinary Guard, plus whatever else is added as unique units.

Lots of Jump Packs, essentially.

Take it easy.

Note the guys in the back, fighting alongside the Primarch? I'm willing to bet a tidy sum that the DA special Termies will be those dudes.

That polearm is the one from the 40k DA terminators set. I recognise it.

halberd of Caliban, str +2 if I remember correctly, ap2 and hits at I, now THAT is a legion specific unit to fear, if the whole unit has access to it, wow.

But here is my prediction.

Deathwing Paladins (already know these are coming)

Dreadwing Breachers: an option for a sythe on the sarge, plasma carbines, id be happy.

Ravenwing: we already have, and they are good enough, also its easy to use RW black knights are outriders and not change a thing, twin linked plasma guns!!

Ironwing: already have, and they are brutal, ive been playing these and mopping up.

Flamewing: I predict this will be our second unique unit to be honest, unless it turns out that dark angels chapters are simply name "something" wing, then FW has given us the last of the 5 wings, I hope it isn't something like pyroclasts, or something that over shadows them, but it will likely involve flamers of some sort.

With the imperial knight box coming out cheap, can DA 30k take Knights?

no. outside of mechanicum you need to take an allied detachement of knights (2 knights minimum) and being that most legion ROWs disallow allies, it probably won't be all to common :(

oh? you don't want to outclass pyroclasts, but you wanna give Dark angel guys scythes, huh? What's next? are the DA terminators gonna have havoc launchers too

If you take a standard build (no RoW), then yes. Two knights, one an HQ one a troop.

Yeah that's right, just the dreadwing sarges to get scythes, keep it ap3 to make it different to the deathshroud scythes and I'd be happy, plasma carbines as an option on the dreadwing too, so essentially breachers with a slight twist, or even breachers all armed with swords and Shields, that would be interesting.

OK, thanks guys. I just cant resist a good deal. The new box set where you basically get one for free and scenery is calling me. The only problem is making myself paint them......I already so much other stuff that needs finished lol.

Any thoughts on what this might be? A teaser on some nifty special weapon? The DA's legion rules supplied plenty of new fancy toys, maybe a special Deathwing unit gets something cool as well.

Me, I'm hoping it's some sort of rapid fire stasis grenade launcher.
