Hi, I'm new(ish) here. I've read plenty for a while, but only recently sorted out an account on The Bolter & Chainsword. I came back to 40k a couple of years ago, after a break of 15 or so years. I fell into DA accidentally, I had bought the smallest starter, then a couple of bits off eBay, one of which happened to be a Ravenwing Bike. But after doing a bit of reading (a lot has happened since 2003!), I really liked the background, seems much more interesting than most other chapters. So I bought some more kits. Things snowballed... I now have c7k points of Unforgiven, it has mostly been built and primed, but only about 3k of it painted so far. I don't get anywhere near the painting time I'd like - maybe a couple of hours a week. So it's been slow going. I've been wanting to do a hobby thread for a while, I'll add picture of some of the bits I've already completed - going back to close where I re-entered the hobby. Hopefully it'll show some of the progress I've made with painting (and photography) over the last 2 years. I was sure I had more photos, but I seem to have deleted them, or put them somewhere a bit too safe! My first painted unit was actually a Tactical Squad (what else!), but that is one of the missing photos. I soon bought the DA Lieutenant though, and I remember being so pleased with the outcome. I look at it now though, and wonder whether I should strip it and start again...(basing was added later). Lt Zachariah Next up, and around the time Kill Team was released, I decided my roster would be a bit different, and so I went for just Scouts. The sniper squad was actually the first unit I fully completed with basing - and they were my first attempt at camo. I have a lot of fun playing KT with these guys. Scout Squads A bit of a jump in time to the middle of last year, I spent a lot of time building rather than painting - and I'm missing some photos of what I painted in that time too. I really liked the Phobos Librarian, so he was on the shopping list. Phobos Librarian I also picked up the limited edition Primaris Master. Swapped in a few bits from the DA upgrade sprues, and here we have my warmaster. He single-handedly (specifically his left hand) won me my last game pre-lockdown, holding off a swarm of plague marines and poxbearers on a bridge for several turns. Killing everything he fought. He's probably one of my favourite models. Primaris Master with Plasma Pistol & Power Fist That'll do for now, I'll add some more photos in later! Cheers, Herb

Howdy all. In working on a couple of DIY projects lately I have stumbled upon a conundrum I hope you Sons of the First Legion can help me with. So, without the Fallen, and all they add to the Unforgiven, what do the Dark Angels have to offer in themes and the like to a Successor chapter?
