Talk:Dark Angels

This page really should be cleaned up. The strikethroughs stop getting funny after the first section. --72.160.158.228 03:55, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm in agreement with you there, do see the humour, but it becomes difficult to read... would be a monumental task though, because unlike on any other pages on this site (according to site policy) some of the strikethroughs do actually add to both the flavour and and the understanding of the fluff since there is considerable double-meaning when talking about the Dark Angels, so keeping some can maintain the spirit of the article, though figuring out which ones would be a pain --Dark Angel 2020 (talk) 11:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Agree about removing the strikethroughs after the first section.

What ever happened to the theory that the Dark Angels waited on purpose rather than racing to Terra, because they wanted to see which side would win before committing to Horus or the Emperor, and that Luther was imprisoned for calling out his Primarch over it?

It turns out that Kurze engineered that by harassing the Lion. Luther probably just fell to Chaos.

• The Horus Heresy book series reveals a lot about the Lion and the fall of Luther, which although not entirely resolved, has pretty much debunked all of the earlier conspiracy theories. so far we know that Horus ordered Kurze to waylay the Lion and keep him out of the civil war. Then the Lion teamed up with Guilliman and Sanguinius doing the Imperium Secundus thing. As for the Fallen, they went to war with themselves and the Loyalists have been imprisoned beneath the Rock, Luther is playing with the powers of chaos even if he doesn't quite know exactly what they are yet, and the terran Astelan (who survives to 40k) has joined him and is a self confessed traitor. The current state of play is that the bulk of the Dark Angels are under the command of Corswain and he has decided to go back to Caliban to collect the "recruits" for the war effort, without knowing what's going on back home, although we are led to believe that the Lion already knows but hasn't told anyone.--Dark Angel 2020 (talk) 21:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Suggesting adding an "Interrogator" Template

Fixes both strikethroughs and the fact Commissars share a template with NOBLE CHAPLAINS OF THE FIRST LEGION DARK ANGELS CHAPTER. Pilgrim of Terra (talk)

29-12-2018 edit

Mainly just grammar, hopefully it is less of a nightmare to read.

Edited to correct bad grammar.

Also whomever edited in all the poorly placed and far too numerous comas should report to their local commissar.

The Dark Angels aren't CIA, Alpha Legion aren't Al Quaeda

I don't get why I need to spell this out, but this comparison doesn't work. This is even noted by the new paragraph: "which disregarding the obvious jokes regarding regime change in resource rich regions for "freedom", drone bombs, arming terrorists who inevitably become a threat who have to be dealt with by arming other terrorists who become a threat ad infinitum, and comically ineffectual looney toons esque efforts to kill bearded revolutionaries, is actually not too far from the mark." So ignoring all of that, and not to mention other bits it doesn't mention like their first and most important goal, modus operandi and the characters within, makes them nothing like the CIA. Once we remove all of these differing qualities we're left with nothing that make the Dark Angels what they are.

As for the Alpha Legion, they have so many different groups with different goals that trying to lump them in with any organization is going to fall flat on its face before you start. -- Triacom (talk) 07:00, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Green Armor Origin

Re: Sept 26th 2019 edit, are we sure that’s canon? If the green was supposed to represent loyalty to old Caliban, and protest against the Imperium for exploiting their resources, and if Luther’s rebellious faction was the one primarily composed of old school pre-Imperial Calibanites, why the flying fuck would the loyalist faction be the one to start wearing it, and for those reasons? I thought it was pretty clear that the original explanation for why the loyalists began wearing green after the Fallen incident was as a mark of shame, and as a reference to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—after dishonoring himself, Gawain (and other members of the Round Table) began wearing green as a sign of humility and so that they’d never forget and repeat their mistakes. Basically, I’m calling bullshit, unless there’s a source somewhere.

As far as I'm aware, they only wore green In memoriam of Caliban after it was destroyed, because that's what the previous codices said. I've got no clue where this new bit comes from that they were it in protest of the Imperium exploiting the planet, it smells like bullshit to me too. -- Triacom (talk) 06:28, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
