pueriexdeus Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi all,please dont shoot me for coming here,i came here hoping to get an answer to a question about some of your marines.Can anyone tell me whats different from the DA upgrade sprue and the DA squad? any help is appreciated The upgrade sprue has massive amounts of DA specific iconography useful for personalization, with five robed PA figures, and one TDA to work with, they would be useful as Veteran/Command Sqd troops. As far as the DA Sqd (circa 2004/5), if I recall it only had the DA Robed Sgt w/PP, CS (he is sold as the individual DA Tactical Sgt on GW now) and a Plasma Cannon as a HW, didn't even have a Special Weapon in the kit, the DA Marines were indistinguishable from SM centric models, PA only.

Mercy 0f Spades Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi all,please dont shoot me for coming here,i came here hoping to get an answer to a question about some of your marines.Can anyone tell me whats different from the DA upgrade sprue and the DA squad? any help is appreciated Now, I have to admit that the first thing that crossed my mind was to shoot at you.... but then I actually read your post lol As our battle-brother said up above the Upgrade Sprue comes with a TON of bits (I bought two of them to make some Company Veteran Squads and was blown away by all the cool stuff that came with them) while the DA squad is OOP and really not worth the money. Now here's a question for you- why are you interested in obtaining these items? Maybe you could fill us in a little more and we'd be able to help assist you better... unless of course, you're a Space Wolf spy sent to search out our weaknesses and report back to your commanding officers in the hopes of despoiling the honor of our chapter? HMMMM :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245903-sw-player-needs-some-help-from-some-brother-marines/#findComment-2974474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 There is the Dark Angels Veteran sprue that has the bodies for 5 robed figures plus a number of pieces to perasonalise your standard marines and Termies (shoulder pads with the appropriate iconography, hands with bolters with DA stuff engraved on them, back banners, etc). For a brief period of time there was a boxed set that combined this sprue along with the generic Command squad sprue - just for marketing purposes and is no longer available. There is also the Ravenwing upgrade sprue that focuses more on vechicles i.e. there are pieces to make RW style bikes, Sammael's land speeder, pieces that go on dreadnoughts (sarcophagii (sp?) and leg pieces), large DA iconograhy intended for vechicles as well as general stuff like sensers and small accessories again in a scale more appropriate for vechicles. You can get the RW upgrade from GW site individually without having to buy the entire RW box. Oh, and excuse Mercy, he's from Texas so he's a bit trigger happy :) ;) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245903-sw-player-needs-some-help-from-some-brother-marines/#findComment-2974482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Wolfs don't look good in robes. bearded ladies anyone? one metal sargent in robes and a metal plazma cannon in the squad box.

Tengo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yes the only DA squad you can get now is the veterans squad which is more or less the same as the upgrade sprue, I thnk you just get some extra bases from the vet squad. There's definitely a thread round here that has more conclusive answers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245903-sw-player-needs-some-help-from-some-brother-marines/#findComment-2974584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the vet squad, I was told by a GW staff member that you can only get the upgrade sprue online, I don't know if that's true for you. The only difference between the boxes, IIRC, is bases, so just get the cheapest ;D And to correct you slightly, were a grey hunter to come here, he should be worried! I joke, I welcome all our wolf brothers with open arms, not that the same can be said for all my brothers here! Like captain Semper said, there's no better way to celebrate or give thanks than a good ol' spot of self-chastisement and reflection, but that being said, I'll take the Ale!

That reminds me, I have this terrible stain on my honour... something about the treachery of my brothers or something...

WatchCaptainAzrael Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So, you admit to being spies eh..? Did I mention the Ravenwing don't drink because they have to drive, and would be more than happy to chase you should you try to run away? :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245903-sw-player-needs-some-help-from-some-brother-marines/#findComment-2975803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengo Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 About that... Brother Ramiel is currently on a ban for drink driving, the guy just can't say no to a good party. Silly Space Wolves, plying us with drink so we would give up the chapter's secrets, you won't get far with those secrets with the Ravenwing hot on your tail. The whole thing was just an elaborate ploy just to get some free drinks, if you guys got the rounds in more often, none of this would have happened! Also anyone got a bucket? Brothers Syphax and Mendias don't hold their drink very well, and Chaplain Sacerdotes has locked himself in chamber 42, crying his eyes out about how his robes make him look 'fat' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245903-sw-player-needs-some-help-from-some-brother-marines/#findComment-2975816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
