Dark angels thread

Why does Veeky Forums hate them?

I certainly don't hate them. In fact, I prefer them, my brother.

Because GW can't model the cloth parts for shit.

I'm not a big fan of the cloth aspect of their look, but their helmets, tech and chapter structure is bad ass

That said
Fallen Angels > Dork Angels

Because they are lame, "ooh we have a secret"
Wow your secret is half of your legion went traitor? Big whoop.

I was under the impression DAs were one of the more popular chapters/legions. Or at the very least, one of the least disliked. Veeky Forums seems like it loves Imperial Fists and Salamanders the most, but a good chunk of people like the DAs. Nowhere near the massive skubfest that is the Space Wolves.

The veterans look like shit, they do better nowadays
There's a lot more to it that just that. Saying that's an oversimplification is an understatement.

because they're not ULTRA cool

>Wow your secret is half of your legion went traitor?
>half

Last I checked they didn't. Personally I think their whole robes over power armor schtick is badass and really sets them apart aesthetically from the other chapters. You see one of their minis and you know from a glance it's a DAngel. Their autism in keeping the Fallen a secret is a little annoying at times though, and honestly not even a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Every legion had issues with traitors and conflicting loyalties during the Heresy.
