crimsonfist123 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So with all the new Forgewrold stuff out, I'm going to start a new Pre Heresy Dark Angels army. I had a couple of questions. I've seen some Pre Hersey Dark Angels with little wings on theirs helmets. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get this bit or if it;s part of another box sex. Also, do normal marines, Ravenwing, and Deathwing all have black armor in a pre heresy army? Thanks for any help!

Grotsmasha Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The little wings are from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue and are available quite readily on eBay. As for RW and DW, yep both have black armour, although it is unknown if those formations existed or went by those names prior to the destruction of Caliban.

wheelballer Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 As grotsmasha mentioned, the ravenwing upgrade sprues have the wings. You get them by cutting the swords off of the ravenwing symbols. As for colors, they all had black armor pre-heresy. The winged sword emblem was also red. On the note of the formations existing, I don't know about the Deathwing, but the Ravenwing certainly existed. They come up in the HH novels, and if I remember correctly, they rode actual horses on Caliban.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ravenwing is a term for Knights on Caliban who went out and fought beasts by themselves, sort of a recon force, but also a select group. Presumably the term was incorporated into the DA Legion.

Grotsmasha Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yep, Knights of the Ravens Wing. But it's not specified if this Order migrated to the Legion and performed the same function.

Ordo Machinum Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'd say considering how large many of the legions were (even by FW's Horus Heresy standards), there is a fair chance that some praetor had a structured company somewhere near to Ravenwing's formation. They (meaning legions in general) had whole companies using specialized units such as bikes and such.
