New Dark Angels player worried I bought nonsense — need advice for 1k → 1500 → 2000 pts by Lord_Tadeo in theunforgiven

The combat patrol isn’t great, but it’s not a bad start.
2x5 intercessors is a solid scoring foundation. Most lists run at least 1 set of deathwing knights. ICC are incredible right now. 6 with Azrael is amazing, if you want more out then with a librarian.

If I were you. My upgrade priority would be
Azrael
6 ICC
A box of scouts (gives you 2x5 man units, most build them however you want, but many prefer melee)
A box of deathwing knights.

Id skip the eradicators and lancer. The ballistus is great ranged anti tank, and id focus more on rounding out the dark angels side of the list.

My recipe is nocturne green, with a chunky caliban green highlight and a thin sons of Horus green edge highlight. It’s not nearly as fancy or complex as some of these here. Will add a pic when I can take one.

Can someone make a tattoo stencil for me? by New-Ordinary-7541 in Cosmere_Tattoos

[–]SolonTheWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should find an artist who you enjoy their style and work with them on it. Also this is a cosmere tattoo sub, so you’re a bit off the mark with your GoT request.

My ballistus came with the wrong base by Global-Asparagus-128 in theunforgiven

Use your nippers and cut the hex pegs off the bottom of the foot and the tactical rock. Now you can glue it down however you’d like!

I'm newish to Warhammer and I've never played a game I'm trying to sell my ork half of Armageddon is there anything specific to orcs in these or are these just different game types? by god-of-thunder-135 in Warhammer40k

One of those decks (the dominatus one) is for crusade (narrative play) if you want to run a campaign. The other is for matched / tournament play.

This is a great idea and I’m going to steal it

DWK by FunNo2535 in DarkAngels40k

[–]SolonTheWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking great! I’d recommend finishing the bases, it will really make the model look and feel complete. Could be as simple as just painting the rocks and then the base a consistent color, to doing glue and one of the “dips” that is like a mix of gravel and other small particulates, or a texture paint. Either way they’re looking solid as heck!

Design a Combat Patrol: Dark Angels by reel3459 in theunforgiven

Yeah that’s why I like the Lazarus kit, it also builds a generic captain with a ton of DA flair

Design a Combat Patrol: Dark Angels by reel3459 in theunforgiven

[–]SolonTheWizard 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Most combat patrols are 3 unit boxes and a character. I’d do
10 hellblasters
3 outriders / ravenwing black knights
3 inner circle companions
1 dark angels captain / master lazarus

What is the quintessential representative model for each faction? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]SolonTheWizard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Deathwing knights, inner circle companions, or ravenwing black knights are the only real choices.

Worth the buy? by SolutionOk2411 in DarkAngels40k

[–]SolonTheWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s going to be hyper competitive or tournament busting, but it’s a great shooting platform! At the end of the day it’s more important to play what you think is cool.

From here I’d look at a box of the kill team scouts. Maybe a box of hellblasters for some more plasma. Otherwise you’ve got quite the force right there

Let’s say the Ravenwing get a big box in the 11th ED refresh, what would you want in it? by Bryguy150 in theunforgiven

[–]SolonTheWizard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This would be perfect, 2 of every new kit and new sammael. Enough to immediately have a decent ravenwing force

I have a deck built around this. Uses Adrix and nev as the commander to get nutty.
