http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k It says that an Aegis defense line can be set up fairly quickly. By fairly quickly, I mean that if the I.G. spots an Ork Horde, they can unpack it and set it up before the charging horde gets into firing range.

But my question that I cannot seem to find any answers online about, is how long would it take to construct a fortress of redemption.

Say the Dark Angels have tracked a member of the fallen to a planet, but have no clue where he specifically is, only the general area. How long would it take them to construct a fortress of redemption to use as a temporary base so that the Rock can leave to pursue other rumors of fallen?

I imagine that in this situation, (say 5 leads on 1 planet.) That the Rock would drop off a portion of the 10th company (all scouts) and a piece of the second company (ravenwing) and have them build a F.O.R. to use as a temp base while they scout out the area to find an exact location where they can then message the rock to send in tac squads and the deathwing. In the meantime, they are going to the other places on the planet and doing the same drop off.

How long do you think it would take them to construct this thing, with missile silo and all?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5921896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5921896.page GMT SM drop down ready made sections which just have to be joined together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5921904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5921904.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922431.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922431.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922445.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922445.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922475.page GMT
I can't imagine they would set up a Fortress of Redemption on every back water armpit of a planet they land on after hearing a rumour of a Fallen, I imagine if the planet had some form of significance they might.

If it is already an Imperial world then it's also possible that they might use established bases as possible er .. bases. Chasing Fallen as well you wouldn't really want a whopping great big building declaring the THE DARK ANGELS ARE HERE.

Only my opinion of course. The only guys I have read about really taking buildings with them and building fortifications has been the Iron Warriors.

An ADL yeah sure but Bastions and stuff to me would already be built and used prior to any engagement as a result of a previous one due to a lesson learnt. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922495.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544714/5922707.page GMT
