New Dark Angels 40k Pre-Orders Revealed
Games Workshop has announced exciting new Dark Angels releases for Warhammer 40k, including a Codex Supplement, new models, upgrades, and more. The pre-orders will be available on February 24th, 2024, and should delight Dark Angels hobbyists who have been waiting since the Deathwing Assault box was released!
There are innumerable secrets to be kept and many Fallen to be hunted across the galaxy, and the Dark Angels are ready to spring into action with next week’s pre-orders. There is also a new Consul for the Horus Heresy, and a selection of Black Library books incoming.
Codex Supplement: Dark Angels
The Dark Angels are ready to hunt heretics and face the mightiest foes in the galaxy with the incoming release of their Codex Supplement. A must-have companion for anyone who wants to run armies of Dark Angels or their successors, this book contains all the datasheets, detachments, and rules you need to take to the table as the sons of the Lion.
There’s a slice of background information on the mysterious inner workings of the Dark Angels, 16 unit datasheets, and three detachments, alongside rules for a Combat Patrol, artwork, miniature photography, and a painting guide.
This book comes in a regular version and a limited Collector’s Edition variant featuring a soft-touch cover, unique cover art, a ribbon bookmark, and lavish gold foil blocking.
New rules are always a highlight release for that faction’s players, so this will surely be a big one!
Asmodai, Master of Repentance
The Dark Angels’ hunt for the Fallen is ceaseless, but few pursue it with such burning ardour as Asmodai, Master of Repentance. As chief Interrogator-Chaplain, Asmodai is a master at extracting confessions and rousing his fellow battle brothers with his litanies of hate. He comes with two head choices – hood up or down.
Asmodai gets a sweet new model, which is great for long-term fans. You can also build him with or without the spooky smoke.
Belial, Grand Master of the Deathwing
Belial is a paragon of the Chapter with countless deeds to his name. Even amongst his brethren, he is a warrior of prodigious skill, fighting with the Sword of Silence and a master-crafted storm bolter. Just like Asmodai, he comes with two head choices – hood up or down, but he doesn’t hide his face behind a mask.
Belial was originally released in the Deathwing Assault, making this his first separate release for those still waiting.
Inner Circle Companions
Even amongst the Dark Angels, the Inner Circle Companions are a mysterious cadre of elite warriors. They operate in eerie silence, cutting a path through the enemy’s toughest units with their Calibanite greatswords, and protecting their commanders with vengeful zeal. Each miniature builds one of two poses, with two heads, two swords, and two backpack topper options each. It also contains a Dark Angels transfer sheet with 348 decals.
Deathwing Knights
The Dark Angels 1st Company are all veterans, of whom only the most skilled became Deathwing Knights. Grim warriors armed with sacred relic weapons from the Chapter’s armouries, they face down the direst threats and bring the most obdurate Fallen to heel.
The Knight Master can be armed with your choice of a great weapon of the Unforgiven or a relic weapon, while the Deathwing Knights can wield power weapons or maces of absolution. The kit comes with head options, a teleport homer, a Watcher in the Dark, and a Dark Angels Transfer sheet containing 348 transfers
Deathwing Terminators are a cornerstone of Dark Angels lists, making this a huge deal for fans who want to update or start a new Dark Angels army.
Dark Angels Upgrades and Transfers
Add Dark Angels flavour to your Space Marines with this packed Upgrades and Transfers set. It contains a selection of components, including heads, arms, torsos, weapons, shoulder pads covering a variety of armour patterns, plus other accessories and relics, and a Watcher in the Dark. You also get an Upgrade transfer sheet with 217 decals which is different to the one found in the Inner Circle Companion and Deathwing Knight boxes.
