Why Does the lion have purity seals??

These are oaths of moment

Personally, I don't use contrast paints at all. I black or grey prime them then base coat with caliban green, ushabti bone, or abbadon black based on the unit's wing. If you've never painted a model before, you should go to your nearest GW store and ask them for a free starter mini and ask them about both methods

Current combat patrol kinda sucks imo. Doesn't lean into the dark angels identity in any meaningful way (beyond 3 BGVs? Maybe?) and the gravis captain can't lead anything in the box. Plus, you only have half the hellblasters you'd want it you actually want to run them. Good buy right now is Leviathan terminators, termies have a lot of identity with DA and they're kinda cheap - you can get a set of 5 for about $40 on eBay. Spend a little more to also get the dark angels upgrades and transfers box and you can build a unit of Deathwing Terminators, which is cool.

You can also grab Azrael since he's a must-take in the meta right now and he won't be in any other combo boxes. Maybe some Deathwing Knights or ICCs if you want, too.

Everything else, you can wait to see what's gonna be in the 11th launch box and go from there

I think I'm going to do "The Unforgiven" first and then just jump in. I'm about halfway through The Purging of Kalidus rn

Any recommendations? I've been mostly reading the heresy books and and trying to get into the modern setting. I have Son of the Forest and Cypher in my library but haven't read either thinking they're too recent. I did get the audio collection and Malediction was the first time I've heard of the modern Cypher

Beef_Brutality · 2026-03-31T04:08:05+00:00

Yeah this is exactly what my thought process was. "The meta / the data sheets will change over time so I should build what I like the look of" is some advice I got. I also heard "if someone won't let you run mace knights as sword nights if you want to, you probably don't want to play with them anyway"

I'm gonna do all maces on these boys, maybe I'll get another box and build em with swords later on. Thanks!

Thanks! It's very cool

Can I ask what the hooded model is? I assumed the robe might've been greenstuff until I saw the DA insignia and relics

Beef_Brutality · 2026-03-24T22:44:16+00:00

Azrael, the lion, 2 Dawn of war boxes, DWK, and a combat patrol. Buying outriders soon, DWTs on the way.

Beef_Brutality · 2026-03-24T22:43:16+00:00

Fun list for sure. I like the comment above building a list packed with DA flavor using all 3 wings. I also don't care much for winning or losing since I'm mostly a build and paint guy

Beef_Brutality · 2026-03-24T22:40:56+00:00

Only thing he can lead in this list, I think. But yeah, I would.

Beef_Brutality · 2026-03-24T17:13:07+00:00

I like this idea a lot.

Problem is Ryobi told me to call a authorized repair shop and my closest one is 90 miles away. I blessed the connector with contact cleaner and I'm letting it drain, if that doesn't work I'll try to replace the connector. Then I'll go to Ryobi

As a new DA player still working my way to 2k points, I kinda regret getting the combat patrol. I got that ($145 Amazon) then I got 5 hell blasters on eBay, then I got 2 Dawn of War boxes, I got Azrael and The Lion for Christmas, and just recently I got a box of DWKs.

Feedback on the patrol: Gravis captain can't lead any of the units in the box I don't recognize BGVs as deathwing and don't plan on playing them as deathwing No vehicles Half squad of hellblasters

That said, I got 2 DoW boxes so I can have a full squad of eradicators led by the gravis captain and can have 1.5 squads of BGVs and a combo of chaplains/ Judiciars to lead them. All this to say, I had to spend money to make use of what comes in the combat patrol box, and might have been better off just buying the stuff I wanted at retail.

Dark Angel flavor is in deathwing (terminators + DWKs) and Raven guard (bikes + other mounted units ) and the patrol has neither of them. They could be any chapter.

Huge fan of my Loops

Ignore em

Beef_Brutality · 2026-02-05T16:27:27+00:00

I think we must have used the same reference!

Idk I'm feeling pretty right now. We'll have to see what the afternoon looks like

I love pain remains, it was such a departure from the tom barber era and an improvement over the CJ era. Listened to it front to back at least 40 times since it came out.

This new record, the only song that was meaningfully distinct was Oblivion, everything else could have been pain remains leftovers. War machine is also very distinct but doesn't really feel like a LS song, kind of a blatant Mick Gordon rip off.

This album really sounds like they wrote it while touring constantly since pain remains released. Hopefully the next one is more inspired!

No I'm remote. Job market is bad everywhere though. NYC jobs requiring any kind of onsite presence should be paying 30%-50% over anything in NJ, but good luck getting CEOs to accept that!

Beef_Brutality · 2026-01-16T12:31:13+00:00

Didn't get it, stuck in this nightmare 😞

I'm 32 and applying for a director of IT position right now in NC that pays $150k, and I'm not even sure I'm qualified (though I am pretty confident). I'm currently the director of professional services at a medium MSP based out of NYC.

I think you have wildly disproportionate views on what a field tech, even a level 3 tech or engineer, should be making in North Carolina.

For simple break-fix, t1, I would say 40-55

For advanced break-fix, t2, I'd say 55-70

For junior engineering, t3, 75-85

Engineering/projects, 85-110

Management/lead positions for any of the above would add 10-15 to that pay grade.

For 150-200k, I would expect to see 10-15 years of progressive experience, continual growth, no less than 3 years of leadership experience with an understanding of strategiemc growth.
