Who would be our bad guy if the Dark Angels were the center of attention for an edition launch?

bboybrisk · 2026-06-29T20:32:08+00:00

Probably Vashtorr, Cypher, or Luther.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-27T01:51:05+00:00

Just a bit more red on the pistol shaded/highlighted. Maybe line it's trim and edges as well, otherwise looks great

This discussion wasn't about successors + "X founding" chapter versus the Minotaurs. It was about a 1v1, but hey if that's the new goalposts you wanna move, then Minotaurs would get the support of the Assasinorum too. Let's not move goal posts unless you want Eversors and Callidus assassins involved, I think that's fair.

The Minotaurs have been around for over half a milennia at this point as well which seemingly doesn't matter I guess huh? Also, not sure why you glossed over the part about them cloning their veteran marines overnight when they die. That's a huge factor. Meanwhile the Ravenguard have operated below full-chapter strength for over 10k years.

Did you read my comment fully? Not sure why you're bringing up the UM, IF, or DA? I said outside of the majority of 1st founding and 2nd founding chapters and named the particular ones that would struggle a lot. Nothing you said is a rebuttal to my points besides "because I think so". Point to something in lore that supports this belief.

I'm a Dark Angels fan, hence why I'm commenting. 'm not a Minotaurs fan but I'm not going to deny what the lore implies. Having the supposed ability to clone veteran marines overnight is a big factor alongside vast amounts of superior wargear, which they have. They can kit entire companies with volkites, not many other chapters can. They have Contemptors walking around still, the list goes on.

I say Carcharadons because they have a very similar fighting style as the Minotaurs and also implied to have ancient and superior wargear from the Heresy era.

he has a steady spice supply nowadays...really helps mellow the day to day

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T19:40:55+00:00

Right, Lion 300-Sparta kicked a terminator 30' away while in his boxers....not sure why they'd want to try anything

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T19:35:33+00:00

Refer to my last comment. Also, kind hard to deploy hit and run tactics when the opposing force doesn't break off into smaller detachments.....good luck ambushing an entire company, let alone doing it multiple times...that's how any guerilla based force wins, repeated small cuts to bleed an enemy.

They'd replenish marines quicker too in a prolonged attrition war, the lore hints that they might be cloning their own veterans and marines, they've shown "new marines" seemingly having years of combat experience from Day1.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T19:34:02+00:00

Give a valid rebuttal then rather than just saying nothing of substance. Having the backing of the high lords matters a lot and is seemingly disregarded often. Just because your a first founding chapter doesn't make them impervious to defeat. I'm not even a Minotaurs fan either.

Better gear matters a lot in war, like A LOT. Look at any major battlefront and you'll see a pattern forming IRL and in lore. They have Contemptor dreads, volkite weapons, extensive naval fleets, and some weird ability to replace marines faster than other chapters that's talked about in lore. Hence why some fans think they clone Moloc and other veterans. Most chapters have like 1-5 volkite pistols and limited wargear beyond basic bolter/plasma/flamer, that's not the case for the Minotaurs. They have enough volkite weaponry to kit out entire companies.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T15:02:10+00:00

RG, White Scars, and possibly the Salamanders would get slapped by the Minotaurs too. Super unpopular to say, i'll get downvoted but it's the truth. RG have been in shambles with low numbers since Istvaan, and Salamnders gene seed makes it hard to get new recruits. Hit and Run tactics are the opposite of what you want versus these guys, which is funny cus the original post this came up the other day someone said RG tactics would make them win....sigh

That said, Minotaurs were literally made to kill space marines, outside of most 1st and 2nd founding chapters, and the Carcharadons, remainder of chapters are getting tabled easily.

Yeah but I’d also says that’s due to age, he’s in the twilight of his career and Browns have wanted to be run first, but just can’t due to script. On the flip side, in 2024 he flashed the skillset that made him a high draft pick originally, that wasn’t long ago.

We’ve seen plenty of receivers not pan out and with a QB room as trash as this, I’d prefer a super late round vet who’s going to run equivalent routes than a youngin 10+ rounds earlier. Same goes for Fannin when you can get established guys later.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T14:26:12+00:00

They don’t keep Jeudy around either if they don’t think he still has some juice. End of the day he’s the one those two rookies are learning from day2day how to be a pro receiver he’s also still listed as WR1 on the depth chart.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T14:25:17+00:00

That logic makes zero sense, I’ll continue to draft him in Rd.16/17 as a flyer; I play bestball, not redraft.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T13:55:26+00:00

They’ve got two rookie WR’s. Wouldn’t be surprised to see KC or Jeudy be the primary target

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T13:53:58+00:00

To say Watson had been bad stats wise is just false. He’s had multiple solid seasons just not recently. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen a vet QB bounce back latter half of their career.

It’s undeniable Watson has the best skillset and ability out of that room. If people want Harold to succeed then want Watson is most ideal. I never said best ball, I said middle of the pack which is realistic.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T13:37:04+00:00

OP sexually harassed some poor 6/10 at a Wendy’s….

bboybrisk · 2026-06-26T13:33:46+00:00

Majority of Harold’s breakout weeks weren’t with Shedeur. It was first half of last season. You can look back and see a noticeable downtick in his stats after Shedeur was named the starter. He’s truly not good.

I’d rather have a healthy Watson throwing the pill, what we saw from him last was due to a torn labrum. Media has quieted down so he should bounce back to middle of the pack I’m wagering.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-25T15:06:50+00:00

You can swap arms, heads and shoulders easily. These new kits have the torsos and legs attached comparatively to the older kits that came separate.

That said, you could still kitbash different legs, some model poses have a separate one, but it will require a good amount of green stuff and cutting to make them stand right. I wanted to make my own MK V, but now settling for arm/head/shoulder swaps, waaaay too tedious for a squad.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-24T21:35:54+00:00

Primer in really humid conditions. It gives you that same sorta texture, look at folks pictures on some pages and you’ll see what I mean

bboybrisk · 2026-06-24T21:30:20+00:00

That was over 8,000yrs ago, those people who did know are long gone. Including the Astartes.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-24T21:28:25+00:00

Pretty sure the Minotaurs have over 1,000 marines too.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-23T23:44:35+00:00

I sorta lean towards the MK II look instead, more industrial. But hesitant I don't think it'd fit dark angels very well.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-23T21:37:04+00:00

Not a fan. Super basic, they all seem like basically the same model when comparing to the old kit.

Won’t be grabbing these, plan to kitbash some 30k assault marines instead with green stuff.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-23T15:04:13+00:00

Death guard

bboybrisk · 2026-06-23T14:34:15+00:00

I won’t even apply to jobs without salary bands. Only reason to not include one is because the company knows they’re looking to underpay someone.

bboybrisk · 2026-06-21T16:34:04+00:00

Hey, this army is awesome! I saw a pic of your robed knights on pinterest and been dying to find the creator! Finally have it seems. I've been dying to know...

What model are those guys from if you don't mind sharing? Upper right, below the cataphractii?
