Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Dark Angels

Product Information

Now, ten thousand years later, the Dark Angels hunt their traitorous brethren – The Fallen – across the galaxy, desperate to wipe clean their name in their own eyes and that of the Emperor. Regardless of which Chapter I choose, what's the best way to get started? My plan was to buy a combat patrol box and get that assembled and painted up so I'll have a small force. If I go for Dark Angels, I assume it makes most sense to get the Dark Angels Combat Patrol. But honestly, the units in it appeal to me the most even for Ultramarines, would that be a viable choice? As always, this set includes plenty of new cards that are unique to Khagra’s Ravagers, as well as universal Objective, Upgrade, and Gambit cards that can be used by any warband.

It’s possible that things could’ve ended there with some disgruntled proto-Space Marines on a former death world. Unfortunately for everyone, the Horus Heresyclass="gallery"> happenedand humanity’s unity was shattered. The Lion’s sons had to fight without him at first, as their gene-sire was scattered across the galaxy by the machinations of Chaos. He landed on the planet Caliban, deep in the monster-blighted woods. There he grew into his full form with unnatural speed, until he was discovered by the noble knight Luther.The Dark Angels are a dour brotherhood, characterised by their deep commitment to millennia-old rituals, loyalty, discipline, and self-sufficiency. They are a fighting force whose allegiance to the Emperor and his Imperium is nigh impossible to dispute, yet few call them friends, and none know much of them thanks to their determined reclusiveness. If you noticed, we didn’t just double down on the Combat Patrol box this time. In this case, you absolutely could have — especially if you wanted to fill out the Inceptors and Intercessors. You’d end up with two Redemptor Dreadnoughts and two Chaplains which isn’t a bad thing. You could still build around that core for a thematic and fun Dark Angels army. Hunt the Fallen and slay the enemies of the Emperor with Combat Patrol: Dark Angels. This boxed set provides you with all the units you need to get you started! The contents of this set have been specifically chosen to provide you with an ideal Dark Angels force for Combat Patrol-sized games – approximately 25 Power Level's worth of miniatures.

Dark Angels marines wear their company markings on their left kneepad. Deathwing marines instead use their left kneepad for squad and personal heraldry, often sporting designs with some special significance to the chapter and its history. I've been wanting to get into 40k for a while now and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and start collecting my first army! Due to my years of reading lore, I'm a big fan of Space Marines, but I just can't decide between Ultramarines and Dark Angels. Now it’s time for the lettering. The “correct” way to do this is to use a very fine pointed brush and and paint lines with a dark brown. But if you want to go faster and have an easier time with it, I’ll let you in on a secret: Micron pens. The .005 pen gives you a very small point and is perfect for drawing the lines that work on something like this. There are many questions about what happened next – you can piece together many of the threads in the Horus Heresy bookseries– but this is the history that the Dark Angels record: The coming of the Imperium saw Luther and many of the Calibanite knights technologyelevated through genetic alchemy nearly to the prowess of a Space Marine, though they were too old to survive full transformation.But at this point the Lion made a crucial error. The Lion left Luther and his former friends to guard Caliban, disappearing into the Warp with his new legions, in a devastating snub to those who considered him one of their own.The leader of the Dark Angels’ Librarius, Ezekiel is renowned as one of the most powerful psykers the force has fielded since Lion El’Jonson’s time. When not at war, you will find Ezekiel working to maintain the Dark Angels’ history, ensuring that what has passed is never forgotten. What do you think about the value inside the Dark Angels Combat Patrol? Will you be supplementing your army with this?

Before I start, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been answering my barrage of questions as I step into this hobby as a rookie. You all have been so welcoming and awesome and I appreciate all the information and advice you have offered!

Dark Vengeance

They operate as an ‘elite’ army in Warhammer 40k, meaning they tend to field fewer miniatures than their opponents for the same budget of points, but each model can hope to deal out more punishment to the enemy before it gets blown away.
