Volt Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm currently working on a DIY Dark Angels Successor (Brotherhood of Normant), and I've heard some rumors that there's other Dark Angel "wing" names from the Horus Heresy. Are they? What are they? I'm trying to come up with a name for Third Company (specializes in Void Warfare and are the premier naval experts in the chapter), but I can't come up with anything good. And as, you may have guessed from the name, they're space Normans, but unfortunately the Normans didn't really name their units in a unique fashion like the Poles or Germans. I thought about using something from Norman history... but there's nothing unique (although we did more or less pioneer the idea of Knights as a noble position).

Leman Russ SW Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Dreadwing is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 We only know four at this time. Dreadwing, Stormwing, Deathwing and Ravenwing (not confirmed as one of the Heresy era wings). Seems like Stormwing is an assault wing so it should be ready for void warfare and boarding actions, maybe that is of interest to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Ironwing? Or was that a fanwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Ironwing was from second edition codex IIRC or before, but it's kind of a blurry point. Heresy wise, it has not been named so far in that setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Correct. In fact the only mention I recall of the Ravenwing in the context of the Heresy is when Astelan asks Belath of this heladry and he mentions "It's the Raven's Wing". It is not even clear of whether this was some sort of Caliban sub-order going back to the cavalry days of the Order or an active branch of the Legion... I may have missed something though...

Where is that sourced from anyway? I haven't really paid any attention to the HH considering Battle for the Abyss killed any and all interest I had in it.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I don't know about shot story with Azkaellon, but the Stormwing reference does indeed come from the Unremembered empire book. Assault marines with breaching shields was the short description about Stormwing. For reference, dreadwing is also described in Unremebered empire, with a skull in hourglass markings.

Captain Semper Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 And was the Dreadwing the one with the crossed-swords? (Unremembered Emprire too if I recall correctly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Stormwing" assault squad with Breaching Shields... Doesnt say that the Stormwing is all Assault squads or all equipped with shields. I was all excited too but then I re-read it...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, given how DA like to have specialized wings I assumed it would be Stormwing's job to take care of such tasks. Apologies if I misled someone into thinking the wrong thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well there are the lesser known wings that I feel compelled to expose... The Dark Angels are a secretive lot, but I'm spilling the beans: There is the expert hit and run faction also known as the 'Chicken-wing'. They are closely related to the fowl mouthed caste which hail from New York,.... Bufffalo specifically, and they are known as the Buf-... ah forget it... This is too top secret for a forum. I risk my life exposing any more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Are they not made of buffalos? I thought the US had discovered a new flying bovine. +++Get back on topic Stobz!!!+++ :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hail from Buffalo! :p Seriously though, if you want a name for a Wing that specializes in void combat: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/HidaOkami/VOIDWING_zpswkqfdzxi.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think it is mentioned that there are 6 "wings" it total... So it makes sense to assume that four of them are Ravenwing, Dreadwing, Deathwing and Stormwing... Now where I got the number "6" I can't recall...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 They say it several times during the series in some books, including Unremembered Empire. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
