Ashen Sabre Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Was browsing through Forge World's webstore, and couldn't seem to find any named Dark Angels characters. Was this me being blind, or do we have some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Nothing yet and won’t be until Angelus releases, whenever that is. Probably late 2018 by latest rumours. Nothing stopping you making your own while we wait though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendingon1+ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Not yet. For certain It will be a very long wait. 1. Dark Angels book (Angelus) must be released first. I bet some random "misshap" will occur (something went wrong at the printers, they need to "rebalnce"/finetune stuff, etc )and release will be postoponed. 2. FW has to make actuall models. It can take years. Edited November 30, 2017 by rendingon1+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Even when Angelus does come out, there's no guarantee there will be more than a token offering of character models. That vast majority of named characters in the Horus Heresy books haven't got official models, going all the way back to book one.

Robbienw Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If they dont make a model of Farith Redloss i will cry rendingon1+ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We have a single character from 30K, but he's not that popular in the Legion and you have to purchase 2 unwanted guys with him. jbaeza94, Interrogator Stobz, Corswain and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Sabre Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ah, shame. I'd love to see Holguin and Redloss(idk if I spelled those right). Though pls give Lion eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaSY Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Astelan, Luther, Corswain, Zahariel, the leaders of different factions in First Legion and then you have Cypher(s) to manipulate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, though having Lion would also be nice, though I am not aware of any release dates for him other than rumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCore67 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) The only HQ's I am certain we will get are Corswain and Luther. Anyone else is up in the air. And even then I believe Alan Bligh said something about Luther not being in Angelus because he's not in the this part of the story. Granted, many things could have changed since then...

Augustus Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd like to see two sets: One with the Lion and Luther and another with Astelan and Corswain. Those two need to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saphrael Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Astelan and Corswain. Those two need to fight. The only time Corswain and Astelan could have met as opponents on the field would have been at the destruction of Caliban, which is during the Scouring and isn't the focus of Angelus. I'd also argue that if Corswain fought Astelan then we wouldn't be able to see Astelan in 40K as there's no way he'd survive. Corswain is one of the top space marine combatants in the Horus Heresy along with Abaddon, Sigismund, Sevatar and Raldoron. Of course anyone can beat anyone given the right circumstances, but still... Helias_Tancred and shandwen 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irbis Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Nothing yet and won’t be until Angelus releases Actually there were IIRC 2 named characters in HH books, including that Blackshield lion ex-chapter master. But yes, FW really takes time and under-delivers as usual... We have a single character from 30K, but he's not that popular in the Legion and you have to purchase 2 unwanted guys with him. Yup, I can see how heretics wouldn't like two most prominent anti-chaos chapters out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is there any indication of what Angelus covers? Because FW aren’t doing characters who aren’t important to the campaign in the books (ie. Bjorn). I can easily see Holguin and Redloss if the campaign is based around Imperium Secondus, and Corswain if it’s set in Thramas, but I don’t see Luther, Zahariel, Cypher or Astelan being included unless Angelus has a Caliban campaign. And I don’t think that will happen until the Scouring. Somewhat off topic but Holguin and Redloss made me think of it, I would love a Voted-Lieutenant Praetor or Consul option so we can build them for the other wings. rendingon1+ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I'd love to take credit for the list, but I was just paraphrasing from the blurb about Sevatar in the Massacre black book which specifically mentioned Corswain, Sigismund, Abaddon, Raldoran and (maybe) Eidolon. That's not to say that your additions aren't worthy, just that there's cannonical evidence that specifically places Corswain amongst the very top-tier.

Thramas Crusade is being covered in book 8 so I highly doubt we'll see Luther, Lord Cypher, Zahariel and Astelan (If the last two are even gunna get rules at all) My guess is we'll see the Lion, Corswain, and either Holguin, Redloss, or both.

Perfect. That’s exactly what I would’ve wanted. And if that’s the case then I agree with tour guess entirely. Just hoping for both Holguin and Redloss, I have been really interested in both of them.
