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?

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.

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

Finally finished my custom chapter master + some old deathwing knights

is it too much outside of the base?

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

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.

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

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?

Hello all! I am interested in trying the death watch terminators in a termi heavy list as I can’t get my hands on sammael so my Ravenwing list can wait

Main question is how the hell are people getting 3 plasma cannons without buying 3 Dark Angels upgrade sprues per unit of 5 Deathwatch ??

And are they made using normal terminators with deathwatch upgrade sprues (which doesn’t have enough shoulder pads for 5 models) or is there a death watch specific box?? Only 6 months into the hobby. I’m pretty deep already and love it. Just want to try more ways to play with my army to see what works best for me.

My very first DW knight almost finished. Amateur painter 😭🙏🏻

Wife made me index cards

I play locally, and I’ve asked a bunch of people at my LGS if they would care if I used a large base for Ezekiel, who technically is a 25 firstborn model from 30 years ago. No one cares. And since I love his rules, I present blue asmodai that I will be running as Ezekiel until somebody stops me

Today, i played a fluff list versus an Emperor's children.

I had a blast with this :

Dark Angels - Darkflight Pursuit, Ironstorm Spearhead (1000pts)

Lazarus (80pts): Warlord
Apothecary (45pts)
4x Company Heroes (125pts)

3x Outrider Squad (80pts)

5x Infiltrator Squad (85pts)

5x Scout Squad (65pts)

2x Invader ATVs (140pts) (2 Meltas)

Land Speeder (105pts)

Land Speeder (105pts)

Land Speeder Vengeance (160pts) + Nightforged battery

It was a fun game !
Company of Heroes is suprisingly tanky (first time playing it).
And the free reroll on 1 hit and 1 wound on each vehicule is so nice.

Next time i will try in 2000pts with stormlance. Probably adding a Landspeeder and a Stormspeeder and a lot of bike.

Maybe I'm a dumbass, idk, where are these supposed to be glued on?🤣

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
