Units of the Dark Angels: Land Speeder Vengeance.


Units of the Dark Angels: Landspeeder Vengeance.

Units of the Dark Angels: Land Speeder Vengeance.
The Land Speeder Vengeance is a variant of the standard land speeder used only by the Dark angels and their unforgiven Successor Chapters. It is the deadliest weapon available in the arsenal of the Ravenwing, the elite 2nd Company of the Dark Angels, and serves as a larger variant of the standard Land Speeder that is armed with the devastating Plasma storm battery with which it lays down a blistering barrage to support the Dark Angels' attack. The Land Speeder Vengeance couples a larger chassis and four powerful anti-gravitic lifter-engines with a ferocious heavy weapons load-out, providing the Ravenwing with a highly mobile and deadly support battery to aid them in their hunt for the Fallen.
The Ravenwing have always sought more firepower to support their hard-hitting attacks. An answer to this quest came in the 36th Millennium, with the discovery of the STC database for a strange type of Land Speeder. Its larger chassis and superior lift-engines could house heavy weaponry, allowing it to mount the plasma storm battery -- a relic weapon long held in the armoury of the Dark Angels' mobile fortress-monastery known as “The Rock" Thus was born the Land Speeder Vengeance, a strike vehicle exclusively employed by the Unforgiven Chapters. In conjunction with the Land Speeders of the Ravenwing's Support Squadron, the Land Speeder Vengeance has proven its worth on the battlefield time and time again, able to keep pace with the fastest of the Ravenwing's vehicles and deliver devastating volleys from its deadly Plasma Storm Battery.

Armament of the Land speeder vengeance

The Land Speeder Vengeance is normally armed with its Plasma storm battery and a Heavy bolter. Some variants of the Land Speeder Vengeance have the Chapter’s Techmarines replace the Heavy Bolter with an Assault cannon to further maximise the vehicle's firepower.

Variants of the land speeder vengeance

The Land Speeder Vengeance has at least one known variant:
  • Ravenwing Darkshroud - The Ravening’s Darkshroud is the only known variant of the Land Speeder Vengeance. The Ravenwing Darkshroud replaces the Vengeance's Plasma Storm Battery with an ancient relic, an Icon of Old Caliban known as a Stone Guardian or one of the Ten Brothers of The Order that once stood within the fortress monastery of The Order on the Dark Angels' lost homeworld of Caliban, The Darkshroud then channels the arcane energies of the ancient relic and projects a field of impenetrable darkness known as the Shroud of Angels, swathing the Dark Angels' forces in a gloom that can swallow even the most potent of incoming enemy ranged attacks and protect the Unforgiven from harm. Those who have witnessed it at close range and felt its murky pall, and lived to tell of it, are disturbed forever more.

Units of the "Dark angels" : Ravenwing Dark Talon

 Units of the "Dark angels" : Ravenwing Dark Talon
Dark Angels space marine, Ravenwing Dark Talon


A Ravenwing Dark Talon is a variant atmospheric fighter used only by the Space Marines of the Dark Angels and their Unforgiven Successor Chapters. A formidable weapon employed by the Dark Angels' elite 2nd Company, known as the Ravenwing, the Dark Talon is flying death, a veritable grim reaper of the skies. The enemies of the Imperium have learned to fear its distinctive silhouette, for it carries a mighty arsenal, raining death upon its foes with righteous vengeance. The Dark Talon is capable of flight in the void, but only for short trips, usually when deploying from an orbiting warship or The Rock itself. It has little combat capability outside of a planetary atmosphere.



Dark Angels space marine, Ravenwing Dark Talon


The Ravenwing Dark Talon is perhaps the deadliest weapon in the Ravenwing's arsenal, and it plays a pivotal role in the 2nd Company's eternal hunt for the Fallen. A strange and ominous-looking craft, this atmospheric fighter is topped with sepulchre-like spires and half-covered in a Gothic facade. Flying low, the Dark Talon follows the contours of surrounding terrain. Utilising its ground-facing boost jets, the Dark Talon can literally hang in the air, hovering above its victims like some black bird of prey. The Dark Talon attacks in two ways; it is armed to provide direct air support to allies on the ground with an underslung racked Hurricane Bolter, one under each of its blunt wings.




Dark Angels space marine, Ravenwing Dark Talon



The Dark Talon also carries a single bomb. It is able to accelerate on bombing runs, delivering its strange payload to its marked quarry. This archaic weapon first developed during the Dark Age of Technology is an ancient device known as a Stasis Bomb, the blast from which causes a degree of heat damage but, more importantly, momentarily halts the flow of time through the use of an unknown technology. This unnatural disruption to the space-time continuum causes gut-wrenching disorientation and slows the reaction times of those caught within the proximity of the blast. Situated in the nose of the aircraft is the Dark Talon's most awe-inspiring weapon. The Rift Cannon, sometimes referred to as the Stained Glass Cannon, is a weapon developed at the zenith of Mankind's technological achievement and hubris long before the Emperor first reigned upon Terra. When fired, it emits a beam of Warp energy that emerges with a cascade of scintillating colours that explode into a blossom of oblivion as a small rift into the Immaterium is opened at the beam's point of contact.




Dark Angels space marine, Ravenwing Dark Talon

In addition to its mighty arsenal, the Dark Talon carries a stasis-crypt holding cell where the Dark Angels' captives are loaded so that they might be ferried up to the orbital fleet and, ultimately, to the dungeons of The Rock and the attentions of the awaiting Interrogator-Chaplains. The Fallen fear this fate more than any other, for that last ascension leads not to redemption, but only to great pain and death.


The Ravenwing Dark Talon is armed with two wing-mounted Hurricane Bolters, one under each wing, a powerful ventral-mounted Rift Cannon, and has a single hardpoint for carrying an arcane Stasis Bomb.

Units of the "Dark angels": Nephilim Jetfighter.

The units of the “Dark angels”: Nephilim Jetfighter


Units of the "Dark angels": Nephilim Jetfighter. 



Nephilim Jetfighter is a variant attack aircraft used exclusively by the Adeptus Astartes of the “Dark angels" and their successor chapters, known collectively as the “unforgiven” The Nephilim's primary role is an atmospheric interceptor, helping to keep the skies clear over the field of battle, protecting their brethren on the ground from the threat of an aerial attack. The Nephilim is indeed capable of flight in the void, but only for short trips, usually when deploying from an orbiting warship or perhaps “the Rock” itself. It has little combat capability outside of a planetary atmosphere.


History

Nephilim Jetfighters are sleek aircraft deployed from the fighter bays of The Rock or any of the Dark Angels’strike cruisers. Although sometimes given the task of escorting thunderhawk gunships to their drop sites, the main role for the Nephilim is as an interceptor intended to establish air superiority over the battlefield, allowing their brethren to concentrate on ground targets with little concern for aerial assault. Nephilim Jetfighters have only been used by the Dark Angels since the late 40th Millennium, when the Standard template construct or STC data for the improved engines which distinguish this aircraft was discovered while hunting a suspected Fallen, Baelor the Imposter, in the Nephilim Sector. Designated the Lionheart Engine, the technology was frequently used to modify older Imperial fighter designs, though many features were left in place to appease the aircraft’s Machine spirits. The end product was a more agile fighter with improved speed, even while carrying more powerful armaments. With a twin-linked Lascannon mounted in its nose, the Nephilim is ideally suited to bringing down aerial targets. It has proven itself a skilled combatant in this role on innumerable occasions. Nephilim Jetfighters have also proven more than capable in an anti-tank role as well. When fitted with an Avenger mega bolster, Nephilim have proven quite effective at raking through enemy armour, whilst their brethren on the ground equipped with the usual Lascannon make short work of the heavier vehicles.
Units of the "Dark angels": Nephilim Jetfighter.



To pilot such a swift attack craft, the Dark Angels have naturally turned to the Ravening, for the Astartes of the 2nd Company cultivate the skills needed for such rapid manoeuvres. Ever since its founding, all members of the Ravenwing have been trained to pilot any of the vehicles their company utilises in battle; however, it is the oversized 2nd and 3rd Squads that have traditionally served as the company's the frontline pilots. On the whole, the Dark Angels exhibit a general conservatism regarding their wargear, preferring the standard-issue weapons and vehicles that have served the Chapter for thousands of Terran years. Ravenwing pilots, however, do not show such obstinacy. While they revere the ancient relics that have been used in combat since the days of the Great Crusade, they continually push the Chapter’s Techmarines, for enhancements, modifications or newer aircraft, anything that can boost the speed with which they can take the fight to those who would deny the Emperor's will. Whatever the foe, the sleek Nephilim will guard the skies above their brethren, and the dark angels will rule the heavens.

Armament

The Nephilim Jetfighter is armed with a twin linked heavy bolter and usually a twin-linked Lascannon and possesses hard points that are usually fitted with 6 Blacksword missiles, These “blacksword”  missiles take their name from the ominous black contrails they leave in their wake, and are used primarily to bring down enemy flyers and light ground vehicles. When pursuing an anti-armour ground attack role, the Chapter’s Techmarines may replace the aircraft's twin-linked Lascannons with a potent avenger mega bolter, which fires explosive bolts intended to penetrate the heaviest of vehicle armour.

The History of the "Dark angels": Part 3

The History of the "Dark angels" part 3

Hi guys, welcome to part 3 of the history of the "Dark angels" space marine chapter of space marines.

part 1 can be found here
and part 2 can be found here

The History of the Dark Angels: Part 3

Gene-seed

Successors

The Dark Angels and their known successor chapters are collectively known as the “Unforgiven" and generally maintain close links with each other.
The Chapter Masters of each chapter belong to the Inner Circle and also carry the honorific of "Grand Master of the Inner Circle". The Dark Angels Chapter Master is also the Inner Circle supreme leader and every single member of the circle answer to him when it comes to the hunt for the Fallen.
Dark Angel's Successor Chapters, much like themselves, will abandon everything for the hunt of the Fallen. It's known that the Dark Angels Legion sired at least three Second Founding chapters, although several other are also thought to hail from this Founding.
The History of the "Dark angels": Part 3

Culture

The organisation of the Dark Angels Chapter has been shaped primarily by events in its history, as a result it is different from that of any other. The Chapter is monastic in nature with much time being given over to worship and prayer. There are also many different levels within the Chapter which individuals may gradually rise through. On attaining each level, they find out a little more about the truth behind the Dark Angels' origins. Most Dark Angels themselves know nothing about the beginnings of the Chapter. It is only those at the very top who have learned the whole truth.
The History of the "Dark angels": Part 3

Organisation

To outside observers, the Dark Angels seem to follow the standard Codex astartes, as written by Roboute Guilliman, organization - comprising 10 companies of roughly 100 Marines plus Headquarters Staff, however they do have several organisational differences which are unique to them and their Successor Chapters -
  • Inner Circle: It is in the organization of the Dark Angels' higher levels that the chapter deviates from the dictates of the Codex Astartes, At the highest level of the Chapter is the Inner Circle, which consists of a number of officers who stand apart from the company organization, and include the Chapter's Librarians and Interrogator-Chaplains. Companies are each led by a Master, who is part of the Inner Circle.
The first two companies are also uniquely organized:
  • The Chapters First company is called the “Deathwing", which fights exclusively in (usually) Indominatus pattern Terminator Armour
  • The Second Company is known as the “RavenWing", which is a formation consisting entirely of fast and highly mobile units such as bike and “Land Speeder" squadrons.
The remainder of the Chapter is organized along Codex lines.

Recruitment

As the Dark Angels are no longer based on an actual world, they draw their recruits from a variety of planets, mainly highly primitive worlds. One of these worlds is the feral world “Kimmeria", from which the current chapter master “Azrael" himself was recruited. Representatives of the Dark Angels visit each recruiting world once within a normal human's lifetime, and take the strongest juveniles from the population. Each recruit is thoroughly screened, and from the moment he is accepted into the Chapter as a Space Marine his past becomes irrelevant.
After the Heresy, the Dark Angels recruited from a single planet (known as the “Plains world"). Sometime before the 41st Millennium a group of returning Deathwing found that their planet had been overrun fifty years earlier by “Genestealers", with only a few untainted humans remaining. The Terminators, whose duty and honour required the extermination of the genestealers, prepared themselves for battle. Because the odds of their success were nearly non-existent, the Terminators engaged in their native death ritual. Instead of anointing their skin with white ash, they anointed their armour. The Terminators cleansed the world and rescued the enslaved populace, and in honour of those few Terminators, their armour was ever after white. Meanwhile, the Dark Angels leadership, the Inner Circle, recognized the folly of relying upon one planet for manpower and so diversified their recruiting grounds.
The History of the "Dark angels": Part 3

Headquarters

The ruins of Caliban are located in the “Cadian” sector, close to the “Eye of terror". Prior to the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, the planet of Caliban was covered with lush forests inhabited by creatures warped by Chaos. The humans of the planet were a proud, martial people forced to live in great fortress monasteries of stone.
The Dark Angels rebuilt their fortress-monastery on the asteroid that had borne the old one, drilling deep into the bedrock and rebuilding the ruins. The new fortress is known officially as The Tower of Angels, but is more commonly referred to as The Rock. The Rock has been equipped with warp engines, enabling faster-than-light transit through the Immaterium.
The warrens beneath The Rock are where the Dark Angels bring their fallen brethren to be redeemed by their Interrogator chaplains It is believed by the inquisition to hold many other secrets.
However, even this pales in comparison to the greatest secret held by the Dark Angels. This secret is known only to the “Watchers in the dark" and to the Emperor himself. Deep within the bedrock of the asteroid which is their home there is a solitary chamber. In this chamber, attended to by the Watchers in the Dark, lies the sleeping form of Lion El'Jonson.

The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2

 The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2

 The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2

Hi guys welcome to Part 2 of the History of the Dark angels space marine chapter. if you missed part 1, you can find that here

Parft 2: The Horus Heresy and the Heresy-era Dark Angels

During the Horus Heresy, the Dark Angels were far from Terra, campaigning on the shield worlds, and were unable to participate directly in the events taking place there. Warmaster Horus ordered the Night Lords to intercept them on the Eastern Fringe and prevent them from aiding the Emperor, but after ambushing and destroying much of the Night Lords fleet in the Thramas Crusade the Dark Angels were eventually able to set course for Terra. Their impending arrival, closely following that of the Ultramarines and Space Wolves legions, (who had overcome similar obstacles), forced Horus to gamble everything on a duel with the Emperor, his former master. Horus was defeated by the Emperor, although the Emperor himself was fatally wounded and therefore had to be entombed within the life-preserving mechanism of the Golden Throne. El'Jonson was stricken with grief over the fact that he had not been able to protect the Emperor against Horus.


 The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2


After the Heresy, the Dark Angels helped restore order to the Imperium. However, during this time, the Dark Angels who had then been left behind on Caliban became agitated at being forced to essentially babysit a backwater planet. This led to the leader of the garrison, Luther, turning to the evil Gods of Chaos, who had just been defeated with the death of their champion Horus during the Heresy.


The Dark Angels returned to Caliban after the war, but they were fired upon by the planetary defences. They were forced to assault their own homeworld, where they found that their brethren had betrayed them. In a duel which mirrored that of the Emperor and Horus, Luther and Lion El'Jonson fought, resulting in Luther mortally wounding his former friend. Luther became insane upon realizing he had struck down his close friend and was captured. In a huge fit of rage at being defeated once again, the Chaos Gods opened a warp rift in the planet which scattered the traitorous "Fallen Angels" throughout the galaxy. One of the "Fallen Angels" who escaped is Cypher, who reportedly took with him the Lion Blade, the sword of El'Jonson, when he was sent through the warp.
The Betrayal on Caliban.

The Dark Angel space fleet also bombarded the planet mercilessly, and this caused the structure of the dying planet to collapse. The bombardment, combined with the newly formed warp rift, broke the planet up and it is now a huge asteroid field.



 The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2

This betrayal has tainted their honour in the eyes of the Dark Angels themselves. Given that the event was purely within the Legion itself, and was on a world far from Terra, nobody outside of the Legion knows it occurred. Within the Dark Angels Chapters itself, only the elite veterans are permitted this knowledge - in the modern Dark Angels Chapter, only the Deathwing and senior officers know of this secret. The Chapter leadership will go to great lengths to ensure that this knowledge does not reach the Imperium at large, even at times going so far as to disobey direct orders from Inquisitors and cause overly curious individuals to "disappear".

Only the most senior members, known to the Dark Angels, as the Inner Circle, know the greatest secret - that Luther, the great traitor, is still alive and insane, living in a cell deep within the Rock. Lion El'Jonson's body was supposedly never found; Luther claims, in his near-senseless mutterings, that the Lion is very near and will return and forgive him. The Lion actually sleeps in the most secret chamber in the rock, his presence known only by the Watchers in the Dark and the Emperor himself, until the time he will awaken and lead his chapter on a new and even greater crusade. That day, so Luther said to current Supreme Grand Master Azrael, is almost at hand.
Horus Heresy Aftermath


 The History of the Dark Angels: Part 2


Caliban was destroyed during the Betrayal, shattered by the warp rift and orbital bombardment. The remain of the planet now form a sizeable asteroid field. The largest piece, which survived due to the massive void shields in operation around the largest fortress-monastery, called the Tower of Angels, was hollowed out and became a gigantic spaceship/monastery which is now the home of the Dark Angels chapter. This ship is known simply as The Rock. Sometime after the Betrayal, the Dark Angels changed their primary heraldry colour from black to dark green.

This story of treachery and betrayal is the Dark Angels' secret shame. None know of it other than some of the Dark Angels, their Successor Chapters and, perhaps, the Emperor on his Golden Throne.(oh, and yourself!) Within the Chapter itself very few Brother-Marines know exactly what happened during those fateful days.

Stay tuned for part 3!

The History of the Dark Angels. Part 1.


The Dark Angels Chapter of Space Marines
 The History of the Dark Angels. Part 1.

Hi guys, well today is the start of a new venture, we are going to be looking at all the armies of the 41st (and probably 31st and onwards millenium.

The Dark Angels Chapter.
History of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter:

 The Great Crusade Era Dark Angels.


The Dark Angels were the first Space Marine Legion created by The Emperor. When the Primarchs were scattered throughout the galaxy by the Ruinous Powers (otherwise known as Chaos) while still in their incubation capsules, the child who would later be named Lion El'Jonson arrived on the distant planet of Caliban, which apparently bore some resemblance to early medieval Terra. A local named Luther, who discovered El'Jonson and prevented his death at the hands of his fellow knights, was a member of the Order, an organization of knights, and the two become close friends. The Primarch eventually became the leader of the Order and the whole of Caliban itself.

Meanwhile, unknown to the people of Caliban, the Emperor of mankind was waging what was known as the Great Crusade across the galaxy, reuniting humanity and purging entire star systems of their alien oppressors. As the Imperium's wave of conquest advanced across the galaxy, Imperial scouts rediscovered the isolated world of Caliban. It was not long before the Emperor of mankind was at last reunited with his lost son, El'Jonson and was filled with joy as a father would be on finding his lost son. The Emperor's first action was to give Lion El'Jonson control of his 1st Legion. This legion of Space Marines had been created by the Emperor from its Primarch's DNA samples and had fought alongside the other Imperial forces as the Great Crusade was waged across the galaxy.


The Dark Angels Chapter of Space Marines

The 1st Legion was thereafter known as the "Dark Angels", in reference to a Caliban legend that told of great, righteous heroes who held back monsters. Announced by the Primarch, the connotation was in fact first drawn by Luther himself, who quoted a section from the legend upon first seeing Astartes descending using jump packs: "And the angels of darkness descended upon pinions of fire and light...the great and terrible dark angels."


The Dark Angels Chapter of Space Marines

Caliban was made the homeworld of the Dark Angels and the whole of the Order moved to join the ranks of the Astartes. Those knights who were still young enough had the Legion's gene seed implanted within them. Those too old for this process underwent surgery to transform them into elite warriors of the Imperium. Although they were not full Space Marines, their enhancements granted them special abilities and a lifespan beyond those of normal men. The first to be brought into the Legion in this way was Luther, who became Jonson's second-in-command, just as he always had been within the Order. However, the Dark Angel's contributions to the Great Crusade had barely begun when the Lion sent Luther and a small contingent of Dark Angels back to Caliban, purportedly to garrison the world and increase the speed and quality of the training given to the Legion's recruits. Whatever the reason, the force sent back felt disgraced and rejected.


The Great Crusade had to go on: there were countless human worlds that were still under the influence of Chaos or suppressed by the harsh rule of alien races. So it was that the Lion and many of the Dark Angels continued on the Emperor's Crusade for the reunification of humanity while Luther was left behind in charge of the remainder of the Legion on Caliban. Despite the importance of Luther's position, it was not one that suited his ambitious personality.


The Dark Angels Chapter of Space Marines


Lion El'Jonson and his Legion performed well during the Great Crusade, although during a particular battle, he and Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves Legion, came to blows over the latter's action during the siege of the Crimson Fortress. This event began a feud which still continues strong in the 41st millennium, usually taking the form of a ritualistic duel between two elected champions, although it has been known to manifest itself in a very violent manner.
As Jonson's fame spread throughout the galaxy and reports of his great deeds and prowess in battle reached the Legion's home world, Luther felt robbed of his share of the glory. He wanted the fame and recognition that he felt he deserved as Jonson's equal. His role as planetary governor of some half-forgotten backwater world seemed more and more to him like an insult. The seed of jealousy and dissension that had been planted within Luther when Jonson was made the Grand Master of the Order now began to grow and rankle within his heart as the Primarch became more and more celebrated and famous.

Part 2 follows soon!

My Top 5 New Dark Angels Models

My top 5 New Dark Angels Models

Hi guys, I thought i would post my views on the new Dark Angels Models From Games Workshop.

I have to admit, when i first saw all of then, i was really underwhelmed, especially that Land speeder Vengeance, However, Now ive gotten used to the sight of them, my opinions have changed!

So on with the top 5

 5: The Land Speeder Vengeance
Land Speeder Vengeance, Hated by many


I have to admit, upon first sight of this i was like "What the hell is that monstrosity" but now now the Land Speeder Vengeance has begun to grow on me. Why this is i do not know? Perhaps its the shrouding effect working on me!



4: The Deathwing Knights.

Deathwing Knights, Oversized clothing
Although i think these guys look a little silly with their Hoods hanging over their eyes (how do they see?) i do indeed like the models, The Deathwing Knights appeal to me because of those shields! they look amazing and could probably be converted easily enough for a different chapter. The maces on the other hand, i can give or take.



3: The Dark Talon.

Dark talon, a poorly converted Nephilim fighter
The Dark Talon is almost like the Nephilim fighter but not quite, its almost like its ugly little sister. i like the general look of it, but not so much the detailing. It still looks a hundred times better than the storm talon! (What were they thinking?)



2: The Deathwing Command Squad.

Best Terminators since the Space Hulk Blood Angels.
The Deathwing Command Squad is pure awesome, although the GW guys have assembled these in odd poses again (Whats with the awkward dynamics?) they still look good. nice plain terminators with a little added bling for taste.
 The Captain guy and the Halberd wielding Terminator are pure win.



1: The Nephilim fighter.
Nephilim fighter: Awesome

The Nephilim fighter is the best. Why? its like i really wanted to like the storm talon but couldnt. this was like a dream come true (or something not so soft) The added wing effect on the upper surfaces of the wings also make it stand out to me. i look forward to seeing some painted in a colour that isnt black!
