ZONKEY Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 My dear brethren of the dark angels, Heresy has occurred, a battle brother has gone heretical declaring the dark angel codex nothing more than a novelty with gimmick units such as the deathwing knights and black knights. And limited list construction such as ravenwing and deathwing and green wing, he has left us for the space marine codex and the storm talon, brothers how can I show the deserter that he is wrong we have a strong codex?

Isiah Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I wouldn't bother about him ;). Let him go play with his 'gimmicky' storm talon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Every Codex in 40k is gimmicky, lol. Space Marines (vanilla) are most certainly not exempt from this - how fast can you say 'grav gun' ? ;) DA have their gimmicks but no more or less so than other Codices.

Deathstrike_Chimera Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Who cares what he thinks itS his loss haha. They way you can show him is by owning him with one of the gimmicks. Heck who cares like it has been said before all codices have gimmicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA have their gimmicks but no more or less so than other Codices. Exactly this. Every codex has the ability to be gimmicky. Tau can take 6 riptides in a standard detachment and has cheap upgrades but the rest of the codex is about average. Screamerstar, Heldrake spam, any 'Wing list, etc are possible and against an "average" list will probably be facestomped but they all also have their weaknesses, any termi type wing will be decimated by grav-guns, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think it was a bit of a cheek him saying that he thinks we have a crap dex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well, he's plain wrong. And even if we had crap for Codex (which we really don't), we'd still be playing Dark Angels just because we have such an awesome background and imagery. Hell, we already did that in 5th Edition.

Not as much as grav guns on bike Arguably grav-guns are less of a gimmick than the Standard of Devastation (a single piece of wargear that validates an entire build) or the Darkshroud (a single unit that augments an entire build). See? Everyone has gimmicks. You might wanna be a special flower but I assure you, in the 41st millennium spam and gimmickry are universal ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 See here Dreadsock Gaming term from the Warhammer 40,000 hobby.A Dreadsock is a standard sock with a (metal) 40K Dreadnought inside. The Dreadsock is then used to 'beat the stupid/cheeze/beard/ ' out of people.In general useage, "Dreadsock" is usually suggested to emphasise how stupid a situation is.Note:it is not advisable to actually hit someone with a real Dreadsock - it can cause serious injury, and get you in a lot of trouble! Q: "This guy at my local club insists on using illegal rules combos and claimingit's legal! We've tried time and again to make him learn the properrules! How do I get through to him?"A: "Take one Dreadsock, and apply as many times as needed to make him stop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polythemus Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 tell him that you'll happily buy his models off him for a low price. then proceed to use those models to tactically outclass him in everyway. without knowing anything about him its likely that he jumped from space marines to dark angels anyway so, easy come easy go...
