ValourousHeart Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I've not been that impressed with most of the DA stuff that FW has released. But this unit might actually see me field models on foot.

Gederas Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 No lie, my immediate first thought after the initial "Holy crap these guys are awesooooooome!" was "hey look, it's a box of Company Masters!" :lol: Brother-Captain Gilead, UtariOnzo, Zephaniah Adriyen and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywrath Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Me: *sees new models*. HOLY CRAP FW, take my money now! *cries in Dark Angel (of joy)* Interrogator Stobz will probably detain me for this, but these would make fine 40k fallen models. Similar aesthetic to Cypher.

jbaeza94 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 These are awesome!! Theyll make for the perfect command squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The lore is amazing too! It fits in nicely with the current lore of the deathwing bone. The whole detachment gave down their lives for the planet, they all took the deathblow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtariOnzo Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Not gonna lie, I love the sculpt but I dislike the haphazard looking paintjob. The stark bone white on an otherwise red and black mini tends to push your eyes towards it as a focal point, but having the white all over the place makes several of the minis appear jumbled and confusing. Maybe just sticking to a helmet and the weapon arm to draw the eyes more uniformly would be better? Great concept, not so great execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nice models but the paint job doesn't sell me on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The models are amazing and i will get them for sure The paintjob is a reminder of the dual color Masters of RT era You can see a Master in this dual color scheme (bone and green cause it's a post heresy Master) in the cover of Dark millenium expansion for 2nd edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValourousHeart Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nice models but the paint job doesn't sell me on them. Well it is the punch line of a joke from Junior High. "What's black and white and red all over?" Although the joke works better when the models are Albino Night Goblins on Squig hoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just sticking to a helmet and the weapon arm to draw the eyes more uniformly would be better? Great concept, not so great execution. My thought would be two things. First, rule of cool, do what you want. Second, my interpretation would be that each piece of armor painted bone shows each death blow that Dark Angel intercepted or is the piece that was damaged by said blow Dumah 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Elijah Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 After some thinking about how to use them in my army i think i'm going to make them the sergeants of my MK3 Veterans squads : - the two with Storm Shield will be the Sergeants of the 2x5 Vets with Storm Shields and Storm Bolters - the two with hand guns will be the Sergeants of the 2x5 Vets with Combi Plasma and Chainswords (using Interemptors) - the last one with the two handed sword will be a Company Champion With a little bit of conversion to make them more MK3 it's going to be glorious... we probably have not the best rules but we have the best minis Vexillia Primus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Raeven Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Man, those are alot of future Company Masters. Primaris recieved one, the old geezers get five! These guys will fit in nicely with my Consecrators. Gederas 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Just like with the contemptor dread and the praetor that came in the autumn, I think they are too knightly and too blingy at the same time. It's not models I will look to add to my collection for the forseeable future. Also, I find most of the poses off. Glad the rest of you dig them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Angels were crusading knights who became warrior-monks by the time of the 41st millenium whereas the slot of knights was filled by the Black Templars and (slightly) by the Grey Knights. I love that the ForgeWorld miniatures lean heavily into that knightly past because back in 30k that past was very much still present with the Lion having led the Order and much of the earliest recruits from Caliban being former knights of the different knightly orders who had ridden on literal horses.

Lord_Ikka Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 After some thinking about how to use them in my army i think i'm going to make them the sergeants of my MK3 Veterans squads : - the two with Storm Shield will be the Sergeants of the 2x5 Vets with Storm Shields and Storm Bolters - the two with hand guns will be the Sergeants of the 2x5 Vets with Combi Plasma and Chainswords (using Interemptors) - the last one with the two handed sword will be a Company Champion With a little bit of conversion to make them more MK3 it's going to be glorious... we probably have not the best rules but we have the best minis :yes: Interesting idea. I plan on using the sword/bolter model as a generic Master, with magnetized ranged weapon options. The two sword and shields will be a pair of veterans with storm shields and power swords, with the powerfist guy as the sergeant. Then the two-handed guy acts as a company champion. Should be a fun little melee squad in a Razorback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy because i was looking for a third Champion... the other two that i already got are Balthazar from Dark Vengeance and the (soon to be converted) Emperor's Champion.

Vexillia Primus Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I may be wrong here, but it seemed to me the wording of the article meant they will have multiple armament options. That way all can be armed as sword and board,terranic great swords, sword/power fist and gun,or as a mixed squad as shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
