I want a Lion El Johnson FW model too, but in terms of the events of the Heresy, the DA didn't really contribute much, and nothing at all to the Istvaan atrocities or Dropsite Massacre.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883917.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883922.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883934.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?
It's frustrasting, but if we're honest, the DA just weren't really involved in the Heresy one way or the other, and the thing they're best known for (the Chapter splitting in half) was largely dealt with within the Chapter itself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8883935.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?

Not to mention the number of 'dex specific models they have now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8884148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8884148.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?
And if you're complaining that the DA don't have stuff in Angels of Death, that's a book for the Chapters that don't have their own Codexes. As far as kits go there are entire Codexes that haven't gotten a new plastic kit since before the current DA range showed up, they're not high up the queue for replacements.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8884149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8884149.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885387.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?

What do you mean all of their kits havent been updated? Other than a couple of heroes and kits shared with ALL OTHER CHAPTERS all of their stuff is very recent. They aren't in supplements for the same reason the Blood Angels and Black Templars (even though they are in the base codex) arent they aren't a basic Codex Chapter. Russ comes first because The Battle of Prospero is before The Lion gets involved in anything. They dont have transfers because they aren't the focus yet and have GW Transfers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885439.page GMT Re:Why not Dark Angels?

The Dark Angels are not the only ones. The Blood Angels, Thousand Sons and White Scars also have seen very little releases so far.
This is because FW can only make a limited amount of things at the same time, and therefore decided to focus on forces that are central to the narrative of the Horus Heresy first, and only make the less important forces later. The Dark Angels played only a small role in the Horus Heresy, and therefore are likely to be one of the, if not the last force that will have its transfer sheet, special unit and primarch models released.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885553.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? DA already have a lot of sexy models as is, the only thing i think GW needs to look at changeing is the rules on terminators since they are week in general.

When compaired to units like the centurions which do all of what a terminator does but better and cheaper, and the fact eh DA have the largest (To my knowlege) Terminator force in the imperium, would be nice if they got some love.

Competitively the DA are a very good army. The last BaO was won by a dark angels army running the lions blade stroke force which is a very strong formation. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885592.page GMT Re:Why not Dark Angels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8885952.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?

I'd not worry too much, I'm sure they'll remove shrikes all together with the next Errata :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8886491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8886491.page GMT Why not Dark Angels?

Yes, but compare that to the other Chapters.


...I've got two unique units, a Contemptor sculpt, Bray'arth Ashmantle, a Primarch, and Vulkan He'stan over here in Salamanders. You've got five special characters, two plastic vehicle dual kits, two plastic non-vehicle unit kits, plastic scuplted shoulder pads in addition to FW ones, and you're going to get at least two new unique units and multiple character series models when your Heresy book happens whilst I'm not going to get my own Codex with unique units released in plastic ever.

So...compared to other Chapters...you're second place in quantity of unique kits, first place in age of unique plastics, and you're complaining...why?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8886627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8886627.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? SM, BA and SW get campaign over campaign and supplement over supplement when DA get not ONE ever is kind of grating.

Agree with the kits though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8887084.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8887084.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? FW has a plan and they are sticking to it.

SW are getting attention now because that's where they are in the Heresy.

DA will get a ton of attention after they cover the Siege of Terra when they do Luther and the Fallen Angels, just imagine an epic Lion'El vs Luther diorama with the world cracking under them!

Be patient their time will come.

Either that or FW just does whatever they feel like this week.

One or the other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8887131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701604/8887131.page GMT Why not Dark Angels? Lol.
