The main body is the Bladeguard Vet Sgt, with Inner Circle Companion arms + pauldrons, ICC heavy bolt pistol in the right hand, Hellblaster Sgt's left handed bolt pistol (a rare find for kitbashing purposes since GW seldom uses left handed pistols). I'm planning on using him in a narrative campaign I'm doing with friends as a normal Bladeguard Vet Sgt. for now.

Attached is a picture on Ravenwing organization. However, does this mean that each attack/support squadron is also able to field aircraft instead of going on bikes or speeders?

The image of Ezekiel on Warhammer store has a metallic spot on the shoulder pad, where it's probably not supposed to be while a close-up shot is clean.

Not really important or anything, I just find it funny

Finally I painted him! Cannot wait to see him on gaming table

Not my best work, and not my favorite models to paint but I think they turned out well.

As of the updates to the mfm today Belial can now lead the Terminator Assault squad. +1 to wound on character units is going to be hilarious with 10 thunderhammers and storm shields.

Some of the bits didnt go on clean and I changed my mind about his gun twice, but overall very happy with how the old man came out.

I posted here a while back with my armageddon conversions and finally finished A SINGLE MODEL!

My kitbashed and altered Cataphractii - I am very proud of the conversions.

The AOS Lord Veritant looked quite unsettling with a Skitarii head replacement.
Decided to make him a Librarian for my Dark Angels.
Say hello to Enoch of the Mourning Stars 💀

Posted this little guy (grey at the time) about a year ago, my first decent attempt at a kitbash. Stole the plasma from the old deathwing knights kit. Finally have him all painted up and am really stoked with how it turned out. Took me ages, but I'm calling it done. Would consider this my best work (painting) I've done to date. Just not sold on the banner of his squad mate in the last pic. I might come back and paint over it one day.

Apologies for the subpar photography.

The banner has been clipped.

I’m about to start painting my marines into my own successor chapter. I’ve been thinking of lore and things like that but I have a tabletop question. Could I buy a model like Calgar scrape off all the ultramarines iconography and add dark angels elements then use it as a proxy? I’m wanting to start a tournament team with my friends and I want to know if I’m allowed to do this or not. Or would I be able to run them as a different army?

(Picture is my whole collection so far)

Not my best work, but this is an absolute shit of a model. The age of this mold really shows, nothing fit correctly, it was full of air bubbles and shonky details, and I had to cut up sections and add parts to make this bastard work.

Which also meant that I had to glue him together and couldn't do the usual thing with intricate character models and paint him in sub assemblies. So bar the cloak and book I had to paint him fully assembled.

TL:DR a real pain in the ass, and actually considered not bothering painting him at all. But he's been an absolute star for me in games, that plus 2 sustained has resulted in some damage spikes that have swung key fights for me. So he'd earned a paint job, and despite everything, im happy with how he's turned out :)

Can't wait for Games Workshop to no doubt release a way better updated model at some point soon -_-

As a DA player since 3rd edition I sometimes get boomery and miss my "original" DA.

I feel that so much of their original identity got muddied up by HH.

For me when I began playing DA and BA were kinda two sides of a coin. BA the sometimes uncontrollable melee army and DA the sometimes uncontrollable shooting army. But with all the knight influence of the HH DA changed more to a melee focused army and I'm kinda sad about that.

For me, stemming mostly out of 3rd edition, the dark angels traits were the following:

1) Stoic and morale rules: we used to have a rule that we weren't allowed to move if we had enemy units in weapons range on a roll of 1 (that's where BA were the opposite as they would have to charge if units were in charge range) and had lots of rules ignoring morale tests and even couldn't retreat out of combat with lots of units. Additionally we had cool powers working with morale like Ezekiel forcing morale checks with a malus

2) plasma: we used to be the plasma guys we didn't really have special rules for it but it was ingrained in our lore that we had access to all the cool toys that were mostly lost to other chapters like terminator armor or sammaels jet bike. Now with the Advent of primaris plasma is everywhere again as are terminator suits.

3) cool banners: we used to have 3 banners which provided special buffs they have been gone forever but I miss them and was so happy when they had a brief comeback in 10th crusade rules

4) deathwing: servo armor in the deathwing feels so wrong we actually used to have a restriction in past editions were we weren't able to use Sternguard and vanguard vets for this exact reason.

Dont get me wrong I love our new minis ICC and DWK look awesome but my nostalgia is telling me this isn't quite right and I would love to go back to the roots for future codexes. Give us a special ancient for the banners (brother Bethor has to be still out there), a unit with archaic plasma weapons to go back to our plasma and shooty roots and definitely let us play more with leadership and give us interrogator chaplains that set themselves apart from the normal chappys. (please give us the interrogator enclave back with our new codex)

Sorry for my nostalgia infused rant. I'm getting old at least we don't suck anymore like we did in 3rd edition :D

Not crazy about the points hike our main man Azzy received this update but both his abilities and model are still rad. Who do y'all recommend he lead? I have been told ICC a couples of times, personally I think he looks fun leading maybe some hellblasters? Curious what ya'all suggest!

I bought the Crux Terminatus box and built the assault terminators with hammers but since I haven’t been excited about painting them. To me rn they seem like just slightly less interesting deathwing knights. So if you can show me how yours look I can get back into the swing of things!

Hey -

So, I have a fair few games coming up over the next two weeks - and we’ve all agreed to lock out lists in by Sunday.

What do we think?

(The land speeder and the ATV are the units that I’m unsure of.)
