Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well it could be the tip of the iceberg..or it could be the whole iceberg... we'll find out soon enough.. one thing is for sure, we're getting some spotlight. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/page/8/#findComment-3021220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That puts some credence to the rumor going round that we will be the poster boys of 6th...Assuming its real because the mins look like exactly the previous set.

Darmor Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Look at the 40k paint set on the GW website ;)Â http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1490027a There is one thing that worries me about that color scheme. The tactical arrow on the right shoulder pad is white, while in the current codex all squad markings are red. Mistake? Change of heraldry for DA? Or maybe a grim sign of a future yet to come (markings for Codex Marines are white, remember)?

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 still the same angle of the badge, maybe just a change of colour?

The Shadow Guard Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Look at the 40k paint set on the GW website B)Â http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1490027a There is one thing that worries me about that color scheme. The tactical arrow on the right shoulder pad is white, while in the current codex all squad markings are red. Mistake? Change of heraldry for DA? Or maybe a grim sign of a future yet to come (markings for Codex Marines are white, remember)? Â The tactical amrkings can be painted on in many varieties. Commonly seen as red arows, in many previous publciations, magazines etc, the arrows have been depicted in solid white as well as being only an outline of white... I think these minor changes are allowed within different theatres of war... :) Â The fact that "Caliban Green" is one of the paint sets suggests strongly that the Dark ANgels will play a major role in the 6th edition release!! ;) Â SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/page/8/#findComment-3023810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It opened the new How to paint Citadel Miniatures book for me, but maybe that's because of different country settings on the GW page. The guys in the starter paint set are most definitely DA, but those on the cover of HtpCM would make really, really bad DA.

They are Salamanders... The image on the upper half of the Citadel "How to Paint" ring bound book is definitely not Dark Angels. The tactical marking on the right shoulder pads of many marines in that image is a white single headed arrow pointing drectly upwards with a roman numeral squad number. Certainly not a DA heraldry. Assault marne also has a different coloured helmet. Markings on the dread are similar.  SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/page/8/#findComment-3023904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Claw Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Looking at the starburst symbol on the dread and the small size of the marking on that marine's pad they actually look like Aurora Chapter to me, seem to roughly match the brightness of the green as well.

Raven Angel Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I hope that we finally get the love we deserve As far as what we may see Well I think it is safet to predict a DW box and that we get the new Crusader variant and StormRavins. Maybe even Librarian Dreads. I think Mortis and chaplain Dreads are also a good possiblity. On the Vet squad front I can see giving the DW back it's extra gun per squad and maybe old style cyclone launchers and termis. I would also think that DW vet sargents for regular squads could make a return. I can also se the Ravnewing geting some special abilities to show up there vet status. Maybe some kind of difficault terrain save for being vet riders and extra attacks or FC and Ca in Close Combat. On the outragouse side of predictions maybe moving all preads from Hvy slot to Fast Att. Replacing them in the Hvy Sup with a bigger Russ like MBT and maybe ravenwing jet bikes. One interesting possiblity, especially if Ward has his fingers in the book, is keeping the basic Marines with bolter, bolt pistol, and chainsword and giving them 2 attacks in assault for having an off hand weapon. I could also see the them doing different "knightly" orders in the chapter. DW as one, RW another, Ironwing for Tankers, Order of the Lion for Non DW Vet BattleBrothers. Keep in mind this conjecture based on what I know of the Dark Angels and what trends I have seen in the new power armor codexes.

Brother Kovash Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Look at the 40k paint set on the GW website :lol: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1490027a  Nice find Brother Wayward, I had not really looked into the new paint set until now. I guess we should start preparing for an influx of new DA players in the coming months.  On a side note, this paint set would be a good idea to get people into the game, especially if they like the Dark Angels. I'm probably going to pick one up for my friend who has mentioned playing 40k before, but never committed to it.

They need, but do not have, a fluff nazi to pass judgement on images before they splash them all over their boxes and books.

Captain Semper Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I actually think white would be an improvement - although red on green has been the standard markings for DAs since ever, I was never a big fan of this color combo. Besides what really sets the DA tactical markings apart was the double ended arrow pointing left and right as opposed to the standard "Codex" marking of an upward pointing arrow. Even in our current codex you get Disciples with white double headed arrow and I think another Successor too - can't recall now, if someone has the Codex handy maybe he can help. I also think (please correct me if my imagination interferes with reality :)) that there is at least one successor that is depicted with the upwards pointing arrow. Â In any case, if the markings change from red to white I'm happy!

skink Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nothing hard and fast here guys, just some more fuel for the fire... Popped into the GW today to get some last minute DA Green, and commented to the manager how I was interested that were apparently new DAs included in the Paint Starter Set. I got a long sly wink and hyberbolic coughing in return, and was given this... A 'How to Paint Dark Angels' card for the new paints. Nothing concrete as I said, but interesting none the less, and my store had been painting up set after set of AoBR marines as Dark Angels over the last couple of months... And as a by-the-by, this extreme highlighting reminded me of Gillyfish's style; does he know something we don't???

Vazzy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I received one of those as well, it reminds me off the original how to paint Space Marines style. All I know is mine are not going to look like that. My GW manager has dropped subtle hints that I may want to save for April, which is off as normally he rabidly encourages me to buy.
