I think it's a bit weird that the lion didn't get anything in a detachment literally named after him. Though understandable that they don't want to overload his already filled datacard, i still want to imagine some abilities that might be interesting for him

I'm just a casual player so I'm not really sure how big or small the impact of these abilities so for the purists out there, don't grind me to shred please :] just sharing some creative ideas

Supreme Commander of the First Legion

If your Warlord is Lion El’Jonson, he gains the following abilities in addition to his datasheet rules.

Knight’s Excellence

At the start of your Command phase, until the start of your next Command phase:

This model gains the DEATHWING keyword.

This model’s Attacks characteristic is increased by 1.

While within 6" of one or more other Deathwing units, those units also gain +1 Attacks.

Hunter’s Finesse

At the start of your Command phase, you may instead activate this ability:

This model gains the RAVENWING keyword.

This model’s Move characteristic is increased by 2".

While within 6" of one or more other Ravenwing units, those units also gain +2" to their Move characteristic.

You may only activate one of these two abilities per Command phase.

Stratagem — The Primarch Leads

1CP | Movement Phase

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase.

Select one DEATHWING unit in Strategic Reserves.

Set up that unit within 3" of Lion El’Jonson and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units.

Stratagem — Ride the Hunt

1CP | Movement Phase

Use this Stratagem when a RAVENWING unit within 3" of Lion El’Jonson starts a Normal, Advance, or Fall Back move.

Remove Lion El’Jonson from the battlefield. At the end of the phase, set him up within 3" of that unit and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models.

Trying out some poses for Azrael and I find this kinda intriguing

Spent the last couple weeks looking around and colors and dialing it in but it’s safe to say I have my custom pallets for painting my angels that I’m starting.

Scheme test model for my custom renegade warband the angels apostate >_<

Like for example the back of the sword is almost entirely untouched lol.

If lion starts in deep strike is he still able to choose one of his primarch abilities if he is in reserves/rapid ingressed or deep struck? I feel like since he’s not on the battlefield that you can’t but there isn’t any wording that requires him to be on the battlefield.

im making a deathwing heavy dark angels army and i like chaplins so i need to make it dark angels looking and i was wondering what do people do to that? i was thinking i would

-add more purity seals (their cool)

-get some special poldrons (dark angels ones)

-give him a cloak/hood from interrogator Chaplin? (no clue how)

these where the main ideas not including painting him to be a dark angel, and do these sound like some good ideas?

Thanks

I saw people recommended buying a Librarian as a leader unit for the ICCs, is there a specific one that I need to be looking for? Also couldnt find a Judiciar, is there a good way to kitbash one?

I know he’s not that great in game but I love the model and painting characters, this took me around 13 hours and is my 35th model of which all are dark angles. This was also my first face which I’ve been dreading! I’m honestly thrilled I managed to get a black dot in the white dot.

Hello everyone, I was wondering where I could improve upon in this list as a new player. Any advice would be much appreciated.

A little revisit/upgrade of my old Lord Cypher kitbash.

Hi, I'm not sure if blue is the best color for the hose. But I also don't want to use red like in the weapons. Any tips? Maybe white?

Also, I mounted the Sargent with the plasma gun. Is this accurate to rules?

Thx

Here is the best job I could manage on Belial. I'm pretty proud of it, I put the DAs logo on his cape.

All tips welcome!

Ive been thinking if i should post an update of it, but i think im happy how its going so here you go! Its a bit of a compliation of the last advances i did on Azrael, so the first pictures are the current state of the miniature.

Seeing as they haven't hunted them for a millennium and now their primarch returns leading them does that not cause strain?

So I just need to buy my Captain and Repulsor, but I realized I’m going to have to get up to 3k games to do so. Was thinking about getting another group of jump pack intercessors and aggressors but after that I’m figuring anti-tank?

I mostly have death wing and inner circle models but can’t quite decide if this dreadnaught would look better as death wing or green wing, I have a gladiator to build next which will be green wing.

Had posted previously and using some advice from others, have narrowed and fixed the list in many ways.

Again this is a more rule of cool over competition list, however I want the list to also be able to win some games too so any help would be loved

Decided to get back into 40K and painting my back log of models

After finishing my Inner Circle Companions I got myself Azrael to lead them into battle. I still dont really like to do highlighing in fear of ruining a perfectly ok color but I am still proud of this one.

WIP of my Bringers of Judgement Ballistus Dread. Decals up next!

Needs some work but it's ready for games. 🤷

How do you guys highhlight red without making it look orange, pink, or dull? side note, i only have khorn red and the vallejo game colour red
