Dark Angel Codex release: part 1

Image
As the special rules for the Dark Angels have been leaked at this point we still don't know for sure what rules are linked with what models and we don't know point costs. There is alot that we can infer safely at this point however. There are alot of rules in the the book and i wont go through all of them but will go through some stuff that has caught my eye. Greenwing grim resolve lions blade formation supreme fire support - formation compliant units overwatch at full BS vehicle squadrons  - tanks taken in groups of 3 gain special rules Deathwing 1 Deathwing special rules - hatred ChSM Deathwing assault may come in on T2-4 Smite now counts as a smash attack Sx2 AP 1 only 1 attack at initiative. Ravenwing 1 Ravenwing special rule - reroll cover saves attack squad - landspeeder hitting boosts +1BS of other models in formation Ravenshield - charged ravenwing units may draw supporting fire from ravenwing units up to 24" antigrav upwash - if three speeders...

quick and dirty batrep: vs space wolves, the raven and the wolf

Image
In a recent battle readiness skirmish Sammael and his assault group faced off  against the battle company led by logan grimnar.  The Wolves held half their force with the the thunderwolves and logan held on the right flank and two rhinos hold the middle and far left flank by themselves. The dark angels deplopyed everything centrally with the need to protect the banner of devastation and maintain the combat effectiveness of the raven wing close by. the darkshroud and the melta attack bikes were held in reserve.  after some early and ineffective firing the end of turn two notice my stuff all bunched together, notice his stuff surrounding me? yeah rough day at the office. routed by the ol space wolves.

Battle for Haven's Landing

Image
The planet of Urt is underseige and the Dark Angels face a hard choice. Since the Invasion of the Urt began the Dark Angels have continuously lost ground. The shrine of tybal and Volpot dam were lost to the forces of the eldar ensuring that the Defense lasers of the Balantis could not be adequately powered. The outer sector of Nermuj was then quickly taken. Scouting reports from orbiting servelance craft have reported that the eldar had been sending search parties led by rangers and swooping hawk aspect warriors into the wilderness. whatever they were searching for it appears not to have been fruitful. Xenos landing craft have begun landing their troops in earnest as the main force of the craftworld pushes towards the regional capital of Haven's Landing. Having suffered grevious defeat thus far Company master Indomiel and Ezekiel plan for their defense of the city. Deployment -

Backstory of the Calypsis conflict

Image
++Redacted++ as recorded by librarian Bellerophon in the archives of the rock++Redacted++ The system of Calypsis lies within the segementum tempestus. It is a productive system that is home to three planets, the hive plaent of Calypsis Prime, Urt a mine and shrine world, and the often overlooked ice world of shadow run. The Calypsis sector was quitely going about the buisness of life in the imperium when an eldar craftworld, identifying itself as the Yula-Lih, hailed the planetary govenor of  Urt demanding that the planet be evacuated in the next 48 hours and ceeded to the eldar craftworld.

Update: Terrain and Host of the Ninth Gate

Image
Been working on the terrain for the home table and made some progress on the aquision of a KDK army. The cohort of the ninth gate. Its gonna take a while to work through this. terminators, 20 cultists, chosen (counts as possessed, still thinking about some conversions) and 8 bloodletters. Was thinking of making this building a chapel. or impressive imperial admin building. i tried putting a little battlement on the outer roof but it needs more pizzaz. i did carve the imperial eagle head that is kind of acting as a gargoyle.
