Sorry about that. If a mod could get rid of the first image post, this one's cleaner looking. Thanks. Again, DA enthusiasts... enjoy!

:w00t:WOW THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING PICTURES EVER (except the DA commander he still looks proper poo)

So the RW upgrade sprue is to add to a landspeeder and/or bike basic kit?
The librarian is cool model in general, but I think I like my DA Liby conversion better. Besides he will be unique, which is always cool.

The robes are nice, when they're not walking. The walking ones don't look right to me. But the robed biker, amazing. And the date is for the UK.

These models look INCREDIBLE!

At least GW got something right with the Dark Angels this time around.

Makes me want one right now.Was planning to start these guys but I just didn't for some odd reason I guess.Very nice pics.I like the robes as well.

I like the majority of these models, but i'm somewhat suspicious about the Army Box contents.

Why a Ravenwing Vehicle Sprue with no RW in the box? two HQ's? Assault Terminators have appeared in the DA rumours first, but I think they're in the box just because they dont sell too well.

I'll say it again ROBES WAHOO THANK YOU!!!

But as for the static Devastators? well i've never really modeled them hurdling over walls while toting thier H.Weapon. I'm also a little disapointed that you dont get 10 in a box but do you get some Vet Sgt gubbins? I would be surprised.

For £135 your actually only getting 35 models (thats including the RW sprue). Yes i know 1 is a tank but you are getting 2 HQ choices as well. Only 15 marines is also a bit strange. £135 divided between 35 models is almost £4 a model. And for me thats not a very good deal at all.

wow maybe Im just in a bad mood or something but Im very dissapointed I think the captain and dread are probabbly the best of the bunch I really dont know If I like the way the robes are looking.

I have to agree that the price seems high for what you get. But the SM megaforce is 34 models for 100 pounds. I added up the normal SM equivalent models off the online store and it would come to 144 pounds. (sorry can't figure out how to make brit money sign) So I guess it's a deal. I counted the one squad of 5 marines as a veteran squad though. That's what they look like.

I wish they showed the scouts though cause I'm curious what kind they are, the ones with basic weapons, or the sniper rifles ones.

i still find it odd that they make the normal marines seem to be in robes and the devastator marines. Robes used to be for deathwing members only. It's a cool look for an army and all, but kind of makes it less cool for the fluff.

Am I the only one completely unimpressed with these models? Too static, too bulky looking with every model in robes.

Meh I dont know, I was super hyped about the Dark Angels, but i'm very dissapointed.

:w00t: Amazing! I was having doubts on keeping with DA after hearing so many bad rules rumors, but those models. WOW! First real good rumor or preview

I'm impressed they are releasing a new codex so soon after the Eldar!

Feth college, the Dark Angels are calling!
