Nevertheless they remain intriguing subjects for painters. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium-bp-cypher.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium-bp-cypher.htm Thu, 2 Feb 2012 23:19:00 GMT There have been many rumours floating about for the last year concerning the possible/maybe release date for the 5th Edition Dark Angels codex. I'm not too hot on peddling rumours around, but things seem to be galvanising. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/5th-edition-codex-rumours.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/5th-edition-codex-rumours.htm Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:19:00 GMT Company Master Remiel brought to life from a Black Reach Captain with supporting Deathwing squad Leonis. Who said snap-together models wouldn't cut it? http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium-mars.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium-mars.htm Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:24:00 GMT Changes made in the light of the recent Official Upgrade v1.2 FAQ. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da_divergence.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da_divergence.htm Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:52:00 GMT Additions made in the light of the recent Official Upgrade v1.2 FAQ. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da_rules_history.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da_rules_history.htm Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:41:00 GMT In a low key launch from GW reminiscent to that of January 2011, a raft of Official Updates were recently released for most 40K codeces and the main rule book too. The Dark Angels', now at v1.2, was part of that release. So what' in it for us? http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da-2012-faq.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/da-2012-faq.htm Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:38:00 GMT So the hot and unexpected news this January is that pretty much every 40K Codex got some kind of an official rules update, as did the core rule book. But all I'm going to concern myself with here is the possible gnashing of teeth from just about everyone with a full Ravenwing Attack Squadron. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/sell-your-ravenwing.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/sell-your-ravenwing.htm Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:24:00 GMT Welcome to the insane world of High Inquisitor Czevak. I've not read much 40K Black Library material recently other then the Horus Heresy books, so I was a bit skeptical when first starting this (a Christmas 2011 gift) as my 40K reading palate had become a bit jaded. But Atlas Infernal proved a real tonic. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/atlas-infernal-review.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/atlas-infernal-review.htm Sat, 7 Jan 2012 23:11:00 GMT A fully magnetised 'Belial' kitted for every situation with twin claws, Heavenfall blade and storm bolter and you really have to see his storm shield and thunder hammer pose. Very skillfully converted and painted. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_des_doc_belial.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_des_doc_belial.htm Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:43:00 GMT Thoughts and insights in to what you can do when designing a Dark Angels army list without going too far down any of the specialised routes that Beliel or Sammael allow. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_combined_arms.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tactica_reports/5th_combined_arms.htm Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:57:00 GMT DA Librarians with their unlimited range psychic hood offer a real advantage over the current crop of psychic-centered SM armies and are undoubtedly useful against an ever widening band of 40K armies out there many of which now wield impressive arrays of psychic ability. In order to meet that challenge are the Space Marine Librarians. And the Dark Angels' only and best Ld10 Librarian is Ezekiel. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/ezekiel_deathwing_lists.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_reports/ezekiel_deathwing_lists.htm Thu, 8 Dec 2011 23:05:00 GMT Anyone wanting a reason to spend the points on a large cinematic billowing Ravenwing standard, look no further. A brilliant example of freehanding and creativity displayed here by Zubr. http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_zubr.htm http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/oratorium/oratorium_zubr.htm Mon, 5 Dec 2011 22:55:00 GMT
