“LOYALTY IS ITS OWN REWARD”

[@thefateweaverchannel2288]

I have been collecting Dark Angels mini's, novels for over 20 years. They are by far my favorite legion /chapter. Your video does them justice.

[@ancientarthurion8511]

We stand together, Brother. The First are number 1

[@Dreadbringer]

Soon the Lion Will wake up and reform His Legión, its only a matter of Time.

Praise the Lion 🦁

[@Kat957]

Luther wasn't left behind to guard against chaos, he was sent back after he almost tried to kill the lion, and it was to "increase recruiting". He was basically exiled.

[@Daimon-X]

"They would always be the First, envied and admired by all, but the X, the XIII, the XVI, even the XVII in spite of their own setbacks, all threatened to surpass them in strength and in deed now. But they had done their duty. The Dark Angels always did their duty." "...On a ship better known for its unasked questions, the Dreadwing sacristy was renowned as a repository for the deadliest arcana to have survived Old Earth's Age of Strife unused. Within its multiply secured and ident-locked vaults could be found man-portable atomics, gene-targeted bio-weaponry, unstable plasma devices, singularity drivers, psionic phages - weapons that were so powerful, so cataclysmic in their intent, that the Emperor had deemed them too dangerous for the bulk of His forces to be allowed even to know of their existence. To His First legion alone had He entrusted the secrets of such relic weaponry. With the arsenal that He had entrusted to their keeping, the Dark Angels had at their disposal the firepower to usher in a new Old Night should they, or He, so deSire it. Who else but the First could have been entrusted with such a responsibility? Who else but the First could be relied upon to inflict that most final of sanctions if so commanded? The Wolf King boasted to all that he was his father's executioner. He was a deterrent, a hound to snarl from behind a sealed gate, never to be unleashed. What the Lion was to his father did not speak its name so brazenly. For where Russ was a warning, the Lion was a solution. The final solution. He was the Emperor’s exterminator. What the honour of Russ would not abide he would sanction without hesitation. The enemy who might yet be integrated, the adversary whose misguided but noble resistance might be canonised in posterity, these were wars for his brothers to wage. When the First Legion turned their guns upon a foe it was to annihilate without trace, to obliterate beyond all hope of record. That was the purpose for which the Dark Angels were created and it was the reason that He made them first..."

[@WASDLeftClick]

Wait I just realized, what do the Dark Angels tell neophytes and the rest of the Imperium when they ask what happened to Caliban? “IDK bro it was just like this when we got back.”

[@NeSeeger]

probly some believable story about how it was ravaged by a group of demons who took advantage of the hearsay and the areas that are of limits are still tainted heavily by corruption and are sealed.

[@nomad2305]

I think they claim it was a plasma reactor explosion

[@daywither927]

Great blueprint for the Horus Heresy books, and with the Dark Angels, they stuck to it quite closely from what I read so far. I quite enjoyed the stories taking place on Caliban. Zahariel becoming a knight and Luther going just a tad batshit. Great job with the audio, as per usual. It's something my lazy ass learned in the past year, there is quite the difference between just reading to a microphone and actually talking to a microphone. So respect for doing that so well.

[@ABorderPrince]

took me two years lol

[@archfrank]

To me these guys feel like they could be so much more. The theme and vibe of the legion is awesome (wings, inner circles, monastic order), but the whole fallen deal feels so weak. They are not properly built up to be something they should be ashamed of and conceal this desperately, and just about every legion has had a whole bunch of traitor chapters at this point. Even losing your primarch to your own men is cause enough for revenge, sure, but not as bad as you'd need to repent for eternity lol

[@enovos3138]

The only Space marine chapter to Pierce T'au plot armor. When their recruiting world was targeted by the Bluies, their response was so ferocious-they wiped them out in a single solar day.

[@MrTolgarion]

Sounded like it was actually painful for him to say that the Lion had the most victories after Horus, no matter how much you think the DA are closet traitors the Horus Heresy books have proven that to simply be wishful thinking. Loyalty is its own reward. Also, almost all legions had internal problems during the horus heresy thanks to the lodges. The DA where simply not ones to admit to it like the white scars did and moved on with their lives.

[@ABorderPrince]

No they traitors all of them 😉

I like Dark angels.. the knightly order, robes and looks. But their lore... 80% of their lore is about the "fallen Angels" seriously beside that and beef with the wolves they boring.. Like Thousands Sons lore is mainly getting crushed by the wolves and flesh turning to dust.. but they still find other crap to do... Always chasing cypher.

Well the only lore given reason is that chaos took them away , the other theories are good though.
