DemonReaper Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi, i am really new to B&C and new to 40k, i started my SW army about 2 weeks ago, so far i got scouts assembeled and primed (don't really want to paint them as i am new i am not amazing at painting and to be honest i dont want them in my army but i thought i would assemble them to practice on) 10 GH 7 of them painted and 5 WG termies. now i think to start i am going to work towards a 1500 pt army but have been having a few urges to collect/ paint DA at the moment. i have posted on the DA forum to ask for advice but i am still deciding which direction to go at the moment. anyway onto the TOPIC. I went into GW today and spoke to the lads in there about my dilemma, and couldnt really get a straight answer out of them apart from DW this RW that, use SW with DA blah blah blah now i dont understand all that at the mo so i think i am just going to stick with SW until i get back from afghan then maybe collect both armies. I brought my 5 WG and 5 DA vets. now i was goiing to paint the vets DA colours to see if i enjoyed painting them, but in the end said B&^%^$*s to it and decided i would assemle them using the cloaked bodies and some SW parts. i was thinking they could have been converted over to the SW (or joined allegencies how ever you would put it) at some point during the problems between lionel and Lemun... (think i got that right HAHA) What do you guys think??

Grimdarkness Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No no no no no no no and no the wolfs have spent the last 10,000 years mastering how to look barbaric in wolfskin with bone and teeth fetishes put them in robes and they look like hairy ladies. ;) :P :( :lol: If you want the two chapters to serve in a war zone the 13th black crusade has the two chapters cooperating. So you could use a wolfy army icon to show the two squads are in the same army.

spjaco Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Kit bashing is usually a good way to make for some really interesting looking models. No to ways about it you can get some really clever mileage out of them this way. Fluff wise I cannot think of a single chapter where a Marine will leave it and be welcomed into another chapter. Now they may work together, even be in the same task force or what not, but chances are once a Chapter has created a Marine he belongs to that chapter until death. Now if the Dark Angels in question were Fallen Angels then maybe that would explain some of the different bitz, especially Space Wolves ones.

Grimdarkness Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IIRC simply green works pretty good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244566-converted-da-vetrens-sw/#findComment-2956843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 crusade/campaign army i what you want! build them dark angels and make them look as glamourous as you can! sure we've got a rivalry going on but when the battle dictates we need to join forces by russ we will join forces, wether those dresswearing gits like it or not! armywise you could just count them as a small grey hunter pack, maybe even give them a darkangel razorback? since they are veterans i don't think the greyhunterstats are that bad... you could even take a regular chaplain model and use it as a wolf priest,or how about a dark angel vindicator, predator or whirlwind? what about landspeeders? basicly i think a campaign army of different forces joining hands might be the thing for you. you could even take your units badge and try to turn it into the campaign badge since you're in afganisatan afterall :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244566-converted-da-vetrens-sw/#findComment-2956873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I use the DA robed bodies from the veteran sprue to make my Rune Priests and I like the effect. Im not convinced theyd do well as regular WG, but if you think you can pull it off its worth a shot.

Quillen Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You can't. That kind of glue actually melts the plastic together. It might come appart, but it could break above or below the join. Zap is your friend. Holds strong but can be popped off and not beak the model.

Bat33.1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Fluff wise I cannot think of a single chapter where a Marine will leave it and be welcomed into another chapter. Now they may work together, even be in the same task force or what not, but chances are once a Chapter has created a Marine he belongs to that chapter until death. Simple fluff answer here - Gene Seed, DA aren't even the same species as the Rout and have no Canis Helix. That's before even getting into all the bad feeling and various outbreaks of violence between the two chapters since the Horus Heresy. There is one example in fluff of marines changing chapter colours that I can recall though. The Astral Claws, pre Badab Wars, took the remains of their own successor chapter the Tiger Claws secretly into their ranks after they had been missing in the warp for centuries and were believed lost. A company of Tiger Claws returned and, ignoring Codex Astartes completely, Lugft Huron absorbed them into the Astral Claws as part of his plan to expand his chapter to full legion strength which set them on a path to chaos and destruction... If you want more on this just google the Badab Wars.
