The Dark Angels stand first amongst the Space Marine Chapters, as they have done since their very inception as the I Legion. They are a proud Chapter, with traditions and rituals that date back to the earliest days of the Imperium of Man.

This mod really gets your attention from beginning to the end. It is easy to play with the race and the sounds.... THE SOUNDS are incredible. The new music, the voice acting, uggghhh..... immersion through the roof! The race seems balanced as well, the content is incredible and the amount of Terminators to field is fantastic!
If I were to complain about anything, small as it may be, it would be the lack of turrets and mine fields, and the fact that scouts are put on melee stance... NUH UH. Because without base defenses, like Dark Eldar and Tau... you gotta really make your squads a force to rekon with and a defensive playstyle faction at the same time. Otherwise with the scouts, I understand that they got their melee daggers showing, but they are meant for ranged attacks because of their upgrades. It just gets slightly annoying to make Scouts and set their assault stance to ranged stance each time. Sniper Rifles especially would be useless.
Other than that, this mod deserves that 10. I can't think of anything wrong with it besides those two things mentioned. I understand how to play the race very quickly, I love the choices of tier 2s, and I especially love the Terminators and bikes. Thunderhawk as well and MANY special characters. Did I mention sound? :p
Some models do glitch in animation, though, but that is it. :)
Army painter was also fun to go into.
Amazing job on some of the FXes, too.
Loved the quality of this mod.
Loved the sounds.
Loved the finished feel.
Excellent. Do this for every mod and consider this a GEM. :D
