Dark Angels Leaks

[Sete]

Happy Sanguinala.

[Matrindur]

Very nice and yesterdays rumour engine is the standard on the companions. 

Whats interesting is that these very much look like back of the box images but then why are both Belial and Asmodai on the same one?

The rumoured DA boxset only has Belial in it if I remember correctly? So either that changed or there might be a Dark Angels character box?

 

Edit: likely not the back of a box but the codex instead. Which does mean the Companions aren't necessarily a 3-man squad as the codex often doesn't show every model of a box in their showcase section.

LOVE THESE. Hope it's not a 3 man squad though. I hate 3 man squads.

Damn the guy who called the advent calendar storm bolter being Belial wins a biscuit. What's going on with the colour scheme with those Inner Circle companions? I guess now the Fallen are out of the bag they're loud and proud?

[phandaal]

Excellent!

[N1SB]

As you guys already commented, the colour scheme IS very interesting...because I'm thinking of a Fallen army.  I've been thinking for awhile now.

 

So I'd use these for Fallen, and then the black armour and maybe a more sinister shade of red like here makes sense.  Like these would be used as Chaos Chosen.

 

I almost wonder if whatever painter that decided on this kinda left it open to interpretation, because the traditional green & ivory WOULD look good, too.

[Fluxeor]

I love the Companions retaining the HH/Fallen/Risen colours .. The Lion coming back and having the guys he brought with him get embiggened and assigned as his personal retinue is the ultimate FU to Asmodai and Azrael.

[WrathOfTheLion]

Damn I love those Companions. The older color scheme is.a very nice tough. I may have to do some Bladeguard like that as well. Not sure if those robes are magenta or red, but they look nice either way.

Belial is a huge upgrade over his current model, which looked so spindly even compared to the Terminators at the time.

Is it just me or do they look like Firstborn sized dudes in mark 10 armour, Yeah I did the old base to base eyeball comparison and they look Chaos marine big. Yep compared the chaos sorcerer and it's dead on.

I don't see a flag or a minefield sign so krieg are still in play. I'd be alot happier if they actually killed Belial. He's the most boring Dark Angel didn't even have a model for the longest time making him the most expendible and great candidate to sacrifice to the rigours of the rubicon Primaris.

Belial being the absolute basic  "PS/SB TDA with cape" ever. But his torso is turned! Weeeeeee.

[Marshal Rohr]

Belial looks rad

Yeah he's somehow less ornate. But he also isn't wearing that furred commissar lord cape so Yarrick is still in play!

I noticed that, maybe it's the picture but...

 

The Companions are...ok? And normally I like the smoke effects on models but in these ones, not so much.

 

Belial is cool but nothing major and nothing really unique.

 

I gotta say, these leaks left me kinda sad 'cause a proper official preview was maybe soon and now it's a tad "ruined".

There's 5 variants in the picture. Dunno what that says but yeah.

[Wispy]

Quite the release for Dark Angels. Comparable to Black Templar revamp. My expectations for the other special chapters is sky high now. 

[OttoVonAwesome]

I'm blown away and need to see the full release. These guys are actually fallen and not primaris but still wearing mk 10. The backpack looks huge, the legs look mark 4 or 6 under the robes, they are a head shorter than they should be and don't take up as much of the base as they should and failed the eyeball test.

[Matrindur]

Valrak just said in his newest video about the leaks that the Companions will be in boxes of three as far as he was told.

A primarch sent hooded elite bodyguards to "protect" his officers? Are you talking about Death Guards?

[Helias_Tancred]

I'm betting the Inner Circle Companions are members of the Redeemed, hence their colors.  New DA elite unit. Body guards and advisors to the primarch. 

 

Looks like they've been given the ancient Terran greatswords that the original inner circle companion members had in that FW HH unit.

There is no way on earth they are moving the scale backwards.

Ummm, Cadian heads would like a word

 

 

Edit, missed an opportunity to make a legions imperialis joke.

Close enough.

Well, Valrak called these a while back so points to him.

 

Love the colours and possibility of Redeemed.

 

Now if only the Lion's wise old Destroyer got a model then Id be over the moon.

What do Cadians have to do with Marine scale? 

[mecanojavi99]

They are not smaller, if you compare them to Intercessors you can clearly see that the difference is in the base, these are using bigger bases hence they fill less of it and look smaller.

 

Not to mention that the perspective of those images is wacky, they have been taken from afar instead of up close like Belial and Asmodai.
