Episode Details

The Dark Angels are an ancient and venerable Chapter.  Counted 1st among their brothers.  Shrouded in mystery. Storied and proud.  We give some insight on where to get started with this army if you are brand new to it or just coming back after a long stint hiding in the Rock.

Hey folks,

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.  It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We also started a Patreon for the FTN show.  This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things.   If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.

The Dark Angels codex has some folks left with mixed feelings.  Some units feel into the pit of legends. There are some new units with some cool rules and then there are a few new detachments that don’t seem to be blowing people out of their seats.  But isn’t that ok?  I mean.. Space Marines books in the past have mostly been about synergies and combos.  Allowing players to mix and match units to give certain effects or challenges to their opponents on the table top.  We don’t dig too deep into that part just yet but more keep it surface level, at where to start with an army list.

I believe there is a lot of opportunity in the Dark Angels codex to build around Leader models.  More so than what we’ve seen with the other books thus far as these characters aren’t just sacks of stats but they are also personalities that people have affinity for, things that brought people to the army in the first place.
