Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Dark Angels: The Lion & Retinue

Product Information

Along with the miniatures, this set also includes two pieces of artwork – a portrait of the Lion, and an action scene of him fighting his brother, the Daemon Primarch Angron. Buoyed by their ability to hold objectives to the very last man, the Deathwing can teleport right into the heart of the battle as an immovable barricade, safe in the knowledge that points will be scored no matter the cost.

The Primarch of the Dark Angels has spent 10 millennia sequestered within the Rock, and the time is nigh for him to rise. Fresh from his battle with Vashtorr, Supreme Grand Master Azrael gets a standalone release just in time to lead the charge into the Arkifane’s lair. The Blood Angels are perhaps the most beloved and respected Chapter in the galaxy, known for their glorious self-sacrifice and willingness to defend every one of the Imperium’s citizens. Paint the metallic elements with Iron Hands Steel , the Watchers’ robes and wax seals with Barak-Nar Burgundy , and finish it all off by shading them with Nuln Oil .

This Boarding Patrol, perhaps representing a Rogue Trader’s own combat team, consists entirely of Agents of the Imperium units usually restricted to a supporting role. Halflings don’t make natural Blood Bowl players, but with enough gumption and a good lunch even the shortest soul can rise to league stardom. But when the existence of the Fallen comes to light, tragedy will strike as the Chaplain’s own history with their traitorous brothers comes back to haunt him in Angels of Darkness by Gav Thorpe, now available in German for the first time. The Cerebus Heavy Tank Destroyer is a massive unit that took quite a bit of time for me to build, but it looks so impressive on the battlefield - even unpainted (for now! Now let's take a look at another new model up for pre-release this weekend, the venerable Commander Dante.

When asked about Fealty, the Primarch’s massive new sword, Seb explained, “We know Cypher, and there’s rumours that he carries the Lion Sword.He is the Primarch of the Dark Angels, and he is known for his strength, his courage, and his unwavering loyalty to the Emperor. The Lion has picked up the uncanny ability to teleport around , slipping through a mysterious forest reminiscent of those he hunted in on Caliban. And the veteran of the three can have their heavy bolt pistol switched out for a plasma or neo-volkite pistol.

Since that firmly includes us here at Warhammer Community, we caught up with Seb and Dom from the Warhammer design team to find out just how much went into crafting such an awe-inspiring presence as the Lion. He’s an imposing miniature merging new Primaris style with plenty of classic details, from his back banner to the ornate Lion Helm. Make one wound roll against the target unit, and each other unit this line passes over (excluding units that were not eligible to be targeted by this weapon when targets were selected). To make him even more lethal in melee combat, he has the Martial Exemplar ability, which states: "At the start of the Fight phase, if this model is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can fight first that phase. This legendary commander and storied strategist is the perfect leader for any Dark Angels force – check out his free rules here .The red and green shadows in the armour and the gold combine to create an otherworldly effect on this larger-than-life figure. Lion El'Jonson is a jaw-dropping miniature befitting his legendary status, striding over battlefield rubble in ornate knightly armour decorated with personal heraldry and the symbols of the Dark Angels. The Deathwing Command Squad packs a laundry list of special abilities, including the only Apothecary you’ll find in Terminator armour. This novel takes the Lion on a quest through the shadowed paths between stars to gather loyal knights to his side once more, though many have long since been hunted as members of the Fallen. Arks of Omen: The Lion is the final chapter of this epic narrative, and it opens with a bang as the Primarch of the Dark Angels heads a last-ditch attempt to thwart the forces of Chaos.

As such, they retain the Oath of Moment army rule – each Chapter is instead represented as a Detachment with its own rule, Enhancements, and Stratagems.Their Vow-sworn Bladesmen ability gives the Black Templars commander even more decisions to make, choosing between more attacks and more damage.

Vashtorr the Arkifane and Abaddon have unleashed countless horrors upon the galaxy in the Arks of Omen series, but they’re not finished yet. This means that any Space Marine army can choose to use these Detachments should they see fit, provided they abide by their restrictions – no matter how much you love Librarians, you won’t be taking Space Marine psykers in a Righteous Crusaders Detachment.
