Merellin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So.. I'm glancing at the imperium again, Thinking it would be fun to build up a new imperial army, And I always loved the looks of the Dark Angels models so i was curious, How are the Dark Angels doing in 8th edition? I'm not a competetive player and prefer to play for fun, But I still like to win ocasionaly.. xD Close matches are the best, Win or lose, If it is close I love it.

Matt_149 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 At the moment they are an index chapter so no cool stratagems at the moment. There are a few nice things etc. Some nice combinations that are covered in other posts. :) hopefully the codex we get have the lion in it, then it's game on!

sneakybamsen Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 We're doing quite alright, I'd say. Ravenwing isn't awesome, as both speeders and bikes are a tad expensive for what they do, but our crucial characters are sweet for their respective companies, and even Ravenwing become useful with Sammael at the helm. Damn cool legion, go ahead and start your army :) Helias_Tancred and Interrogator Stobz 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340951-how-are-the-dark-angels-doing-in-8th-edition/#findComment-4923313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 And now it seems that we'll get our new codex by the end of the year. Link Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340951-how-are-the-dark-angels-doing-in-8th-edition/#findComment-4923862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigshead Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Well I have to say I’m doing better with my index dark angels than I am with my codex marines. Although a lot of that success is probably down to the models I have available for each army, rather than the rules available.

Merellin Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Since the codex is comming this year, I think I will wait untill the codex comes untill I start building the army, So I know what to buy. I hope The Lion comes back with the codex!

Grand Master Raziel Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 You can probably safely buy some bread-and-butter stuff. For sure you're going to want to field battalions, maybe even brigades. Tac Marines, Scouts, Rhinos/Razorbacks, and robed Vets are all apt to make it into your lists. Get started with those, and you'll have the core out of the way by the time the codex tells us what the sexy stuff is. sneakybamsen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340951-how-are-the-dark-angels-doing-in-8th-edition/#findComment-4924940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merellin Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I supose thats a good idea. I'm thinking of ordering a carrying case and a few models. Â And I must say, One of the fluff bits that facinate me the most about the Dark Angels are the Watchers in the Dark.. I hope we get more info on them in the new codex (Without spoiling them compleately) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340951-how-are-the-dark-angels-doing-in-8th-edition/#findComment-4927150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If you're planning on picking up a figure case then just wait a little bit and Battlefoam will be doing their annual Black Friday sale.

Merellin Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Unfortunately I realy dont like importing things and prefer to buy from swedish webshops, And no swedish webshops sell battlefoam cases.. xD I was just planning to get a GW case, Most of the people int he club got those and say they are realy good.
