S. Bloodhowl Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Honoured brethren, much like Brother Talon I have blackened my soul with sins of bandwagonning, first with the cursed xenos of the ork race, and then with the Sons of Russ. But now I see my roots with the Lion, and weep for their malnourishment (for lack of better word). My roots have always been with the honoured 1st Legion and the mighty Lion El'Jonson, for they were the first army I felt whole with. Unfortunately the sparkles of a new army blinded me as I joined the forum, but the past is the past, and some of that cannot be changed. And this is why I vow now, on this thread, in this Forum, on this website, that I shall purge the sins of my past from my soul and return my sons of the Lion to their rightful glory, though not as Dark Angels, but as their honoured brethren the Disciples of Caliban. I shall lend my efforts to the hunt for Cypher and the destruction of our greatest of sins. Brothers, will you welcome back a young fool?

Tomevans Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yes, welcome back to the winning team :D It is a tough time for the DA at the moment but the only way is up from here. You have returned just in time to help with the new DA projects we are starting so you have timed it well. Good luck with your Disciples of Caliban army, they are an unusual Successor Chapter.

S. Bloodhowl Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thank you for the warm thanks Tomevans, I chose the Disciples because I absolutely love their background and colour scheme, and cause hardly anyone chooses them.

HsojVvad Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yes welcome back. It dosn't matter you don't pick the Dark Angels, as long as you are Unforgiven. You are always welcome back. There is nothing wrong in picking another army and not playing DA, so don't be to hard on yourself there. (I believe you were kidding there, but just in case you were not kidding. :( ) Yes please come and help us out if you like with Projects Unforgiven and Redemption.

krewl Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 As I see it I am still playing my Angels of Vengeance, just different parts of their army with different rulesets to enable the use of different tactics. My guys are still robed, my symbols are swords, angels and wings, my bikes (most of them) are adorned with RW bits. If I switch a rulesset I am still a Dark Angel player. I do not see the need to handicap myself as a tournament player by taking more expensive wargear that does less. And apart from that my Deathraven and Ravenwing army's have consistantly been very hard for others to win from. All that scoring goodness is just very killy/fast/hard to remove. Winning is harder because of killpoints that hurt bikers, but that can be managed. Look at it this way, just as the hobby has different parts for each of us that we like (painting, converting, gaming for fluff and scenario's or competative for an even hard battle) so does the Dark Angel forum have room for Die Hard DA purists and lose people who just like the models as a base for their chaos slaaneshi army (as an extreme). The Forum is for people who like all or some aspects of the DA, not just the 100% only DA codex purists. Welcome back.

Myxx Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Isn't a large part of the DA mythos that after one repents, he is smote?! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209831-i-shall-purge-my-sins-from-my-soul/#findComment-2504026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.

DAG42 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Most who repent die kinda quickly, those that don't are treated to long slow painful deaths. It seems that the higher ranked Fallen who don't confess are given state rooms in the Rock Hotel.

S. Bloodhowl Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Ah, but according to the SW book, the Lion was a good fighting buddy of Russ. Therefore, if we clutch at straws, Lions and Wolves are bestest buddies!

krewl Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Ah, but according to the SW book, the Lion was a good fighting buddy of Russ. Therefore, if we clutch at straws, Lions and Wolves are bestest buddies! Not only that, but we do actually work together quite well. Ohh if my failing memory would come to the rescue I would remember where I read this.... There was an instance where DA and SW where involved in the same conflict, and the evil enemy wanted to target the DA rhino's colom with their CC specialist as DA are shooty devastators (Everyone knows that ;) ) while they planned to shoot the SW rhino's to bits with ranged firepower. Come the eve of battle the SW rhino's deployed... DA devastaors, answering the enemy firepower with adeadly barage of their own, while the DA Rhino's unloaded hordes of Space wolfs hell bent on close combat mayhem. Needless to say this subterfuge was unexpected and led to a grand victory. I choose to see the background as providing ample basis for 2 chapters with a brotherly competition, but also with a form of respect for eachother.
