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

Finally finished my custom chapter master + some old deathwing knights

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.

Am I the only one seeing that Azmodai just became of the most powerful of the dark angels roster for one simple reason, giving him exemplar of hate with trans human strategist. He can now re roll all hits and can generate command points and I’ve looked he’s the only non captain/primarch with this ability. And to finish it off with the Judiciar becoming a support character he can be added to Azmodai’s unit giving them fights first. Through them with ICC they have stealth too and I’ve done the math put all of these guys together and you can land at max 74 damage! I’d be surprised to not see him in a good amount of competitive play with that level of damage.

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

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

is it too much outside of the base?

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

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

Wife made me index cards

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'm wondering if Ezekiel's -1 to hit rolls stack with ICCs' -1 to hit rolls? If so, I feel like that, combined with ICC's +1 to hit rolls against character units, Ezekiel's +1 to melee attacks, and all of Ezekiel's weapon profiles having precision, makes for a spicy assassin unit to go after a Warlord.

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

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?🤣

has any of y’all used a mostly death wing list with maybe a few mission unit and if so how did it play out and would you mind sharing it

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.

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
