TheForgottenAngel Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hello fellow Dark Angels!With the release of the upgrades (finally!) what are you putting them on? Are you going with the MkII examples that Forge World has? I'm curious if they will look good on MkIV and MkIII. The helmets look like they could go well with any of the currently released marks of armor but the torsos I feel could look off on MkIV and possobly MkIII. What are your thoughts?

aura_enchanted Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 if anything company veterans because mk IV guys in robes is hardcore, those torso's would also look sick on assault marines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313573-dark-angels-upgrades-what-are-you-putting-them-on/#findComment-4169734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebus Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The helmet in the very center of the preview photo (with the cruciform decoration running down its middle) looks like it would be a great replacement for the Lion Helm (once you add wings to it, of course).

Dark Rage Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Emblem shoulder pad trims look bigger than normal crusade pads... nothing some sand paper or file cant fix though o.0 plate obviously on vets or character models I think... wouldn't want to cover them with the big boltgun.

jbaeza94 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm considering the da upgrade for mk3 and use the command sset for a company master with command squad, and possibly model the champion from the command set (helmet looks pretty da to me) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313573-dark-angels-upgrades-what-are-you-putting-them-on/#findComment-4171414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRaven89 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm considering on the MK IV shoulder pads. I like that wing-sword design for a command squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313573-dark-angels-upgrades-what-are-you-putting-them-on/#findComment-4171672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Oh, and it looks like these models are also using Transfers, apparently?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Seeing them painted really makes a difference, for the best. They look menacing, evil even!

twopounder Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Seeing them painted really makes a difference, for the best. They look menacing, evil even! I'd say this look would have a much greater psychological effect in combat than the current MK7/8 armor. I'd go so far as to say that armor setup should cause fear.

Epher Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wasn't thinking about getting them but now that I see them I think I will have to. 16 more months until my pilgrimage to Forge World!

Malakithe Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 That's what I've been saying in the FW forum post...the helmets look super sinister and menacing but look even crazier in black Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313573-dark-angels-upgrades-what-are-you-putting-them-on/#findComment-4172761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 They do look good painted but I want them with white shoulder pads like the novel covers. Gives a little more distinction between all the black legions. And lots of heraldry. This is going to be fun! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313573-dark-angels-upgrades-what-are-you-putting-them-on/#findComment-4172909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Yes the upgrade kits are on Mk II sets due to them being Legion Upgrades and all.

exsanguis Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 How did they get the black to look like that? It looks like it has grey tones. Damn near makes me want to do a DA force if I could paint them like that!

Kallistus Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Quick question because I haven't used forgeworld stuff before. Do the FW shoulder pads match the GW ones enough that they will look ok? For example if I get some and put them on a command squad will the regular shoulder pad on the other side look funny?
