About the Project
This is my Dark Angels 5th battle company from before the Primaris heresy. It started out as my half of the Dark Vengeance box back in the day and has been growing into a full battle company ever since. After a couple of years of this project being dormant as I struggled with 8th edition 40k. I am now re-imagining the project, re-painting the army in a grimdark style and finishing it off before the proper standard space marine is completely eradicated in current GW lore. The army's main focus will be for 7th edition 40k, but the majority of it is compatible with everything down to 2nd.

Re-imaginening.
With 10th edition on the horizon for 40k I am going to repaint my Dark Angels army and expand it to the full size that I wanted to build for it now that proper Space Marines are still available. I know that in the future GW is going to nuke the Space Marines and it is very likely that 10th edition is also going to be terrible. So this army will also still be valid for 7th edition or otherwise for Grimdark Future from OnePageRules and will of course be a nice looking shelf army. If 10th edition is good however, I also still have a Mechanicus project that I can work on when they nuke the Space Marines.
Over the coming weeks I will be putting together the plans for how I am exactly going to do it and when the renovations in my apartment are done in mid-April, I will start stripping Space Marines, spicy, I know. ? And then start repainting them to fit my painting techniques from today and not those from 3+ years ago.
So look forward to more on this project.

Shiny Syndrome Pounding
My veteran squad got their shiny syndrome pounding today, they survived the Hormagaunts without any hiccups, but the Swarmlord that came after slaughtered them.
