When it comes to the Deathwing Knights, which HQ unit do you prefer to run them with and why? And would spending the points on a Terminator Ancient worth this unit combo?

Interrogator ready to take the field. He's a bit lonely, so I'm working on Deathwing Knights to accompany him.

I want a Zabriel mini now ! 😂😂

is it too much outside of the base?

ps: i think i flared this right? it is a rule question after all(?)

I tried to play with the light a bit more this time, going for more volumetric highlights rather than edge highlights.
Giving me the opportunity to also play around with OSL on the magical armor parts which was also a lot of fun.

Ended up using some ink for the runes and panels which kept to the recesses relatively well using a 10/0 brush. All in all I’m quite happy with how it came out

Hello, question what paints do you guys use for the deathwing characters either the dwt, the dwk or the sternguard, etc.

I normally use the citadel morghast bone but im out of it already so i was wondering what other do you recommend? Also i normally prime my minis grey so i think the seraphim sephia with white primer combo might not work with grey primer.

Our primarch has come home. After finishing his book I had to get his joytoy. One day I hope to build and paint his mini aswell.

I am debating on getting a box. My army currently has a whole that might need filled as I have ignored disposable melee units as a tool since I started 40k a year ago

Finally finished my custom chapter master + some old deathwing knights

I'm trying to recycle my numerous Dark Vengeance Terminators and the Sergeant has a little something that makes him more like a character. I had a banner and some Watchers lying around and thought about him carrying the banner.

What do you think about the idea? Is it enough to mark him as an Ancient ?

Thanks in advance

I bought my first models in september 2024. And what a journey it has been since then. I have never played a strategic tabletop before i stumbled over 40k (the closest i came to this before was playing DND 5E). By pure coincidence, Dark Angels became my main and only army. Now i own close to 8500 points of Dark Angels. And at the time of this post, i am one of the best DA players in my country (Germany).

Due to personal reasons i will probably be a lot less involved in WH40k than i was the past 2 years, maybe I will have to quit 40k alltogether.

With this post I just want to share what my midlife-crises-hobby-discovery has led to. Maybe the end of a very intensive 2 year journey into a very niche (and lets be honest, very autistic) hobby and community.

Thank you.

Thank you for your advice. For your Lore explanations. For your completly unhinged takes on whatever GW does with the rules. It has been a fun time.

I don't know whether i will be able to continue playing 40k on a competitive level going into 2027, but i can promise you: I will stay loyal to the first legion. No matter the rules, i will field them to RTT's, GT's and Majors, if I get the chance to play.

For in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. And the Angels of Death, the first Legion of the Emperor of Mankind, will stand fast.

Working on an Army List and I plan to include Ezekiel as he is a lot of fun to play, especially when his ability to Assassinate Characters goes off. That being said, I'm planning on putting him with a unit of Bladeguard as his Bodyguard, but is there any other unit you would recommend? If not, would adding a Bladeguard Ancient be worth it? Or should I save the points?

The Multi-melta gunner is a Risen, originally a Legion Devastator

Has anybody had success modelling/painting a RCS in such a way that they can viably be viewed as Black Knights OR RCS? I already have a RCS traditionally built with the flag and white apoth (champion seems pretty easy to view as a sgt), and I'd love to use the box I just acquired as Black Knights, but would also like to pivot as a 2nd RCS should I need it.

Wife made me index cards

Just as the title says, I'm looking for help from other fans of the Unforgiven for help in designing a homebrew chapter that operates how the Mentors do. I've been leaning towards a similar color scheme to the Mentors but swapping the white with warpfiend gray and the eagle with a lions head. I'm very new to homebrew, so I'm not sure of a good way to incorporate that classic knight aesthetic with the green beret style tactics of the Mentors. So far my only lore I've been able to establish is this successor uses those tactics as a way to sniff out the fallen more effectively. However, naming, homeworld, and colors are still escaping me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
