Master of fact Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 As some of you may know i have recently decided to go Dark Angels. I have just bought the vetran kit and chapter upgrade. Just want to know how many full marines can you buld from the upgrade, or is it better to uselots of bits on diff models. Looking forward to posting some pics for you guys (as i am still waiting for the codex can we take venerable dreads?)

Gillyfish Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Here's a list of the parts you get in the DA boxes. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=1944005 As to venerable dreadnoughts, any Dark Angel dreadnought can be upgraded to venerable status, so yes, we do have them! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216268-dark-angel-kits/#findComment-2578116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just want to know how many full marines can you buld from the upgrade, or is it better to uselots of bits on diff models. From the upgrade you get 10 tac robed marines, no special nor heavy weapon, and lots of misc bits. Dont really understand what you mean on the use bits on diff models part though.

skink Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Bear in mind you don't get any bases with the upgrade sprues however. I've tended to use the robes to make my sergeants, heavy weapons and special weapons so that I can swap around all my sergeant and Veteran and Devastator squad loadouts. As Wayward said, you get tons of extra DA bits (more than you'll probably ever use!) with which to Dark Angels-ise your 'normal' marines and vehicles e.g. bolters, pads, iconography, censors, backpacks etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216268-dark-angel-kits/#findComment-2578228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the upgrade kit will have enough for 10 robed marines with boltguns. The vet box is the one with only 5, but has special weapons and bases.

As a former non-believer in the DA Chapter Upgrade, I understand your apprehension when pondering their purchase. I honestly didn't believe that they really did come with 10, after all, the sprue only has 5 on it, but I pushed forward and ordered 6 of these kits, hoping for the best. When I received my package (about a week ago), I was shocked! Each DA Chapter Upgrade came with not one, but TWO sprues! Huzzah!

I bought the Dark Angels army box and the battleforce when they came out... hadn't been aware of an upgrade pack w/ two sprues... :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216268-dark-angel-kits/#findComment-2581621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
