A Dark Angels Chapter resource.

Take this AoV DW army. It first appeared on GWs site back in 2005, and I'd kept the images for future reference, subsequently lost them, only to be rediscovered very recently. Without doubt Dawson's influence has a lot to answer for. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_dawson_aov.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk//oratorium/oratorium_dawson_aov.htm Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:00:00 GMT As if producing a superb Deathwing army wasn't an achievement in itself VanSan has now moved his attention to the Ravenwing. Smell those exhaust fumes! http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_vansan_rw.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_vansan_rw.htm Sat, 14 Aug 2010 19:00:00 GMT Additions to Mortarion's existing bloody Flesh Tearers in the form of heavy support firepower – in case they can't win by just frightening the enemy! http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_mortarion_2.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_mortarion_2.htm Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:15:00 GMT When you think of the traditional Sanguinary Guard you see gold-armoured warriors with angelic white wings... think again! And his terminators put a dark spin on the superb Blood Angels Space Hulk models. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_mortarion_3.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_mortarion_3.htm Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:15:00 GMT Some of you might have noticed this site has undergone something of a transformation. After seven years in existence it was high time thedarkfortress was updated code-wise and refreshed visually to help with issues of accessibility, web standards compliance and to take advantage of increasing monitor sizes. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/hq/redesign.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/hq/redesign.htm Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:30:00 GMT GW have recently made both the Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters Codexes available to download for free. Here is a quick overview of DH version. I'll say from the outset that this isn't the greatest bit of work GW has put out. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/dh_downloadable_review.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/dh_downloadable_review.htm Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:30:00 GMT So it might be heretical from an Unforgiven point of view, but take a look at this cheeky Ezekiel conversion to a follower of Papa Nurgle. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_gresiloth_ezekiel.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_gresiloth_ezekiel.htm Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:55:00 GMT This army was painted for as a commission, I can only guess that the lucky recipient would have been struck dumb with awe. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_winterdyne.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_winterdyne.htm Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:30:00 GMT Not intended as full-blown Tactica. It's simply a collection of thoughts, observations and ideas on using this vehicle within an Unforgiven (actually Deathwing) setup. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_braindump_damocles.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_braindump_damocles.htm Mon, 24 May 2010 23:30:00 GMT A bit of an insight by long time Ravenwing evangelist – sharing experience and thoughts on the Dark Angels' 2nd company. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_rw_overview.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_rw_overview.htm Mon, 17 May 2010 23:30:00 GMT This Veteran squad is just the vanguard of ellis_esquire's army – so plenty more to come. And if the rest follow the creative standards of these models then we are in for a real treat. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_ellis.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_ellis.htm Sun, 25 Apr 2010 23:30:00 GMT A pretty smart 'old school' looking Deathwing force that has now been expanded with Ravenwing and Greenwing contingents. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_drathmere.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_drathmere.htm Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:30:00 GMT The method here by Emilio is a quick and simple means of getting them done with little hassle and even those who consider themselves inept at freehand work will be cracking them out in no time. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/shoulderpads_by_emilio.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/shoulderpads_by_emilio.htm Tue, 6 Apr 2010 23:30:00 GMT The Razorback is a strange beast – not quite a proper transport, not quite a proper tank. So how to get the best out of them? Is it really worthwhile putting a 30 point gun on a 50 vehicle? http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_da_razorback_tactica.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_da_razorback_tactica.htm Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:30:00 GMT
