Archenemies - the heretical thorn in the lion's paw

Ok not so quite dramatic but want to get everyone's opinion.

 

Fluffwise which warband / legion do you feel is the greatest archenemy of the Dark Angels.  

This can be through out the entire history of the legion.

 

Obviously Cypher is the top bad guy but he doesn't keep a regular crew.

 

Crimson Slaughter - the new gw posterboys of chaos

Night Lords - from the heresy years

Black Legion - from pandorax

Red Corsairs - from pandorax

Alpha Legion -  when in doubt it's usually these guys anyways...

The Faithless - think this was from Vraks? but also Alpha Legion guys

 

Anybody else? 

 

Who is the number one pain in Azrael's arse?

 

I'm putting together a paint order and want to get all these extra non-DA models painted that came with the DV boxset.    Currently leaning towards Black Legion just because it's easy to paint and they are like the umbrella org for all chaos at times.

I'm hoping to keep these guys around as a "guest" army for lack of a better term.

 

 

Wouldn't you consider Ghazhkull Mag Uruk Thraka and Nazdreg Urd Urdgrub as arch enemies too? After the Piscina campaign and such? although not strictly Chaos related but what is more chaotic than two massive Ork Warbands?

Ahhhh!!!!   I would love to do that as well!  

I'm currently reading the Purging of Kadillus and am really enjoying it so far!  

 

However before I buy any orks I'm going to have to do something with all of these Cultists, Chosen and Helbrute from the DV set.  

I guess I could ebay these guys but they are nice sculpts and would be fun for kill team and combat patrol games.

Honestly after reading the Crimson Slaughter know "The Big Secret of.............the Colonels Recipe" and the way they taunt the First Legion I would suspect they have probably surpassed or tied the Night Lords as most hated. I mean we chased the Cowardly bats around the galaxy for two years...........their Dad beat up our Dad etc. But as paranoid as the DA are about the secret and the Crimson Slaughter knowing it probably would make them near frothing crazy (hard to do with a stoic Dark Angel) to have them anywhere near the same space as the First legion.

The CS are the usual newcomers that should never existed like the Blood Ravens from DoW...

I still think that the most hated enemies of the First Legion are the Fallen and then the NL...

 

You have to remember that as the fiction is currently written, most of these guys outside of the inner circle would have trouble identifying a Fallen.... or any of the original heretic legions.....

 

CS shoud never have existed is a strong statement, but nonetheless the current fiction does have Dark Angels going after these guys pretty hardcore.

I think my biggest problem with the Crimson Slaughter is how they are portrayed in the novels.

It makes me think that all Chaos Marines sit around the Maelstrom Bar and Grill at "happy hour" telling stories about how the stupid Dark Angels don't realize that everyone knows the big "secret" and everyone's laughing at them.  It's like it's some kind of lame High School gossip.

 

Now I did forget about the geneseed  jacking.  That's a different story.  They can talk behind our backs all they want but when they messin' with our boys like that - there is a whole lot of hurt coming their way.

 

Are their any 40k era stories about run ins with the Night Lords?
