Cpt_Reaper Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 To be perfectly honest, I don't see a need for DA to get a new stand alone Codex. They're basically Codex Marines, anyway. All they need in a new C:SM book would be a page or two of fluff and a few special characters, some of whom unlock Ravenwing or Deathwing. I mean, I like DA, but (apart from making money) there's no real justification in them having an entire book to themselves. Sorry if I ruffle any feathers but there you have it. Problem is : you consider current DA codex vs current vanilla codex. Following your reasonning GW shouldn't have released a codex : BA before the release, BA were just standard codex marines with jetpacks as troops and deathcompany => not enough to justify a codex... Then GW introduced the sanguinary guards,sanguinary priests, revamp of the DC, DSing Land raiders etc etc... So yes we have few differences comparing to codex marines but it's just because we were a test bed for marine codex and because GW didn't introduce too many difference units because at the time they were in a mood of over-reduction concerning units/weapons options. There are lots of solutions to make DA more unique : new mortis options, new rules for DW/RW, inner circle squad, a special LR for DW, interrogator chaplain special rules etc etc... So don't bother for justifying a special codex... We can find lots of ideas to differenciate vanilla from us... :blush: Perhaps we should compare both Angels' codexes instead of DA vs Vanilla for a more valid/accurate argument FOR a new codex?

Captain Idaho Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Why do you ultrasmurf fans keep on this?Dont you just remember that at least 50% of the stuff of the marine dex was first introduced into the DA armories and stuff?And we have more than enough things to make us distinct,fluff been the main reason. Oh so you are saying DA don't need a Codex because the differences are only background related?

MadDoc Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Oh so you are saying DA don't need a Codex because the differences are only background related? You might be a mod Captain but that seems a rather troll like reply for a thread in the DARK ANGELS subforum...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Since this rumor is being discussed on +news and rumors section+ and I'm seeing this discussion turning sour this thread will be closed. As usual if anyone has anything relevant to add, contact a mod to open it.
