I think this was the original lore of Luther but with the new book, it is revealed that he never actually turned to chaos and he rejected every chance he got. All he wanted to do was help Caliban but despite his rejection of them, Chaos still managed to cloud his vision. One of the last things he said before he left was, I would only seek redemption from the one I betrayed which was the Lion. Paraphrased the quote but you get the gist of it. He really wasn’t a bad guy, just confused. BTW, this is less for your comment than for people who want to know more about his confused loyalties

I got a small packet of 2 metal DA Veterans. Not only that, But they are 3 armies in 1. Deathwing, Ravenwing and Greenwing, each being its own playstyle like he said in the video.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the next two Primarchs to come back. The 13th Great Company of the Space Wolves just came back (Leman left for the Eye of Terror with them) which hints toward Leman coming back, and Luther has escaped and the fallen angels are gathering, which hints towards a confrontation between the Lion and Luther. Edit: Of course when you consider the pace at which GW advances the plot, we can expect them to come back sometime in the next decade.

Granted, it was a HELLUVA blast, but I'd like to see more variety in the armies on PlayOn's roster. When was the last time we saw a Tyranid army? All the way back in that first Apocalypse match. Orks? On Kill Team Challenger Episode 1 and never in a proper 40K game. Necrons? Also on Kill Team Challenger, see Orks. Eldar? All the way back in the Season 1 Championship. Drukhari? On that one Kill Team game vs. Tau and never seen again since. Knights? ...OK, we saw Tycho field a full squad of Knights against Paul(Which there is NO WAY he should have lost that game-I was screaming at Paul to MOVE HIS MODELS ONTO OBJECTIVES ALREADY!). But the last Imperial robot we saw was back in the same Tyranid Apocalypse game. I could go on and on-the only factions PlayOn seems to field consistently are AdMech, Chaos, Space Marines(admittedly a different chapter every time), and Tau. So honestly, I don't care who-as long as it isn't ANY of the four above(or in the case of the Space Marines, at LEAST a chapter new to PlayOn!)

And now the Dark Angels have one of the best all around looking models with the Lion. The face/expression is perfect, the helmet is amazing, the way the Watchers can hold various items is efficient. Whoever designed the Lion and the new Angron definetly incorporate actual physics in the design. Like they think of surface area, viscosity, topography, etc. which makes those models look incredible with contrast paint and make methods like slap chop and 'eavy metal easier and more forgiving. Like even a thin coat of nuln oil will bring out insane detail. Very very cool model the new Lion El' Johnson

However, I use a lot of dark Angel pieces on my models still for the awesome helmets and shoulders, and even converted Master Lazarus into my proxy for Guilliman.

Part of what makes the dark angels lore so cool is that 4 factions were vying for control of the legion during the heresy, marines loyal to emperor, those loyal to luthor, the corrupted librarian Zahariel who was loyal to the demon prince, and the lion who wasn't entirely loyal to the emperor.
