Looks this mornings video has the birds chirping. Come see what may be in store for the Dark Angels soon!
Via Master Sheol
Preorder 20/06… Release 27/06
Codex DA 160 pages 46€
(It is Said to have 3 different decurion style detachments -GW, RW, DW- and several formations)
DA datacards 10€
Interrogator Chaplain 23€
(Via my FLGS).
Looks like Games Workshop is already working the pre-orders for the new Dark Angels. Let’s break it down a bit.
We know that the Chaplain model is probably on the way, as the White Dwarf visions has tons of pictures of him all over it, and he graces the cover of WD #73. Plus next week’s paint splatter teaser is; “Dark, but not black”.
Next up is the pricing; Let’s see how that sorts out to the dollar.
Codex DA 160 pages 46€ = ~$50
DA datacards 10€ = ~$12
Interrogator Chaplain 23€ = ~$25
So the pricing is about on point, and a release BEFORE the July 4th Weekend seems like a good idea business wise. I imagine a lot of us here in the states will be busy that weekend and toy soldiering may take a back seat for at least a day!
It seems like for the first time ever the Dark Angels may be getting the rules respect they deserve from their ‘cousins’ the Space Marines. I can’t wait to see what these new Decurion style formations will be about!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
