This article is about the Games Workshop box set; for the Novella by C.Z. Dunn, see Dark Vengeance (Novella). With the Rhino there is a bit more mobility in the list. It would probably be worthwhile to combat squad the Tactical squad and put the Sergeant and meltagun in the transport, the lascannon combat squad remains on the table. These are two nicely detailed character sculpts sure to form a good centre piece for your army. Of the two I think I like the Librarian best. The pose is dramatic and the sculpt sets him apart from previous Librarian minis, while I can't help feeling that the Company Master is rather static in comparison even though this does give him a more commanding appearance.Many of the Chaos models are Cultist infantry with 6+ armour saves, while only seven are wearing power armour with only the Helbrute having an AV value. All perfectly suited to being splattered by the DAs plasma weapons, bolters, power weapons, storm bolters and assault cannon, all aided by the Psychic powers of the Librarian (Prescience being my favourite from the Divination set).

Personally, I think this is one of the best boxed set Games Workshop have produced in quite a while. Sure not all of the miniatures are perfect, but they are for the most part incredibly well sculpted pieces that anyone would be proud to have in their army. So whether your coming to 40k for the first time or are an old time veteran of the game this set looks as if it could definitely set you up for 6th edition.To me the Ravenwing squadron looks a bit bland, for the same reason the Tactical squad does: no power fists or power weapons for the sergeants. This is a bit of a disappointment as far as these two units are concerned.
