About this deal
On the plus side the Dark Angels look great, rocking dark green armour and cream robes create a distinct look for the chapter. Famous for their intractable gunlines, favoritism towards plasma weapons, and keeping some big secrets, I think we have a theme we can work with here to get to 2000 points.
We mainly cover Warhammer 40k, Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Warmachine, Hordes, X-Wing, Infinity, Horus Heresy, and Star Wars Armada. In this case, you absolutely could have — especially if you wanted to fill out the Inceptors and Intercessors. I would have thrown in there 3 Outriders instead of the Hellblasters just to have units from all the wings, but it isn't bad. he Dark Angels are a dour brotherhood, characterised by their deep commitment to millennia-old rituals, loyalty, discipline, and self-sufficiency. Finally, I want to add something that’s going to give us better chance at cracking open armor at range.
all the recent boxes have been pretty light on value, so we wouldn’t be too surprised by an offering like this. Given that they'll likely be sold out 90% of the time, it probably wouldn't be too hard to offload them. During the Horus Heresy (a massive war between Space Marine chapters that remained loyal to the Emperor and those who became traitors and join Primarch Horus), the Dark Angels didn’t do what other chapters did and simply pick one side. And I think that’s probably a good stopping point to keep that wargear budget available for upgrades.
It is a new launch box with all the new Kroot stuff and two characters, and one is supposed to be a melee-focused Ethereal. There are some big rumors about new Tau models alongside their upcoming codex and a brand new 40k Dark Angels Combat Patrol box! If you love Kroot, this is about as good as you can hope for, with the line getting a total revamp, even including the regular foot troops. If this was a BA box with a new BA sprue instead of DA I'd probably pick it up and build a new fancy squad of intercessors with the new bling even though I have plenty of the basic old starter set guys. This list is designed to allow a new player to dabble with those options without hard committing to either.Now that we’ve added in some flavor to the list we need to go back and fill out some of our core options.
