Karhedron Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My son is building up a Dark Angel army after picking up the DA half of a Dark Vengeance box. I persuaded him to wait until the new codex arrived before buying too much more in case whatever he bought turned out to be a poor choice. Now that we have a rough idea what the new rules are, does the Dark Angel expansion look like a good buy? It has 1 Ravenwing Dark Talon, 3 Ravenwing Black Knights, and 5 Deathwing Knights. It represents a saving of about 25% compared to RRP. Are the options in the box a good addition ot his existing force? His primary opponents are likely to be Necrons (his brother), Eldar (me) and other marines (basically, everyone else). Any thoughts on the value of this box appreciated.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Given the rumors on the new Codex, it seems to be a worthy addition. Black Knights are cheaper, Nephilim/Dark Talon are improved (specially Dark Talon ) and DW Knights are also improved. If you can wait to see some of the reports after people start playing with new dex, that should seal the deal. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Definitely worth it. You save money, you get GORGEOUS models that also do a lot on the battle field. Having gotten it myself, I can recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead01 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hadn't realized that it was a savings. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the advice, I will tell him to start saving his pennies next time he asks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Glad you brought this up. Getting this box will give me all that I need of all three of these model kits, and I might as well get them for $45 US off the base price too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onehip Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I would highly recommend it. Had one and recently picked one up on ebay for $100 so even more savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Even if you're not planning on using one of the three units in there, you're still getting a good savings on the bundle. It's like getting the third item for half off (or more). I got my Dark Angels expansion box for $20 after trading in some old games, so even if I never use the jet it was a bargain for me.

WellSpokenMan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Do you get the full kits for all 3? Can you make the Nephilim with the sprues you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Do you get the full kits for all 3? Can you make the Nephilim with the sprues you get? You get all sprues in the box. So you can make a Nephilim, a DW Terminator unit and a RW Command Squad if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Dark Vengeance expansion is such a great boxset now. Every unit is usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
