Interview with Gav Thorpe

>>47787139
The Wing that focuses on Flamers and Meltas. DA's legion gimmick appears to be the prototype Legion that tested our everyone else's specialty and still retains knowledge of how to do all of it.

I assume this is explained by saying most of the other wings were wiped out during the accidental armoury explosion that destroyed Caliban after the Horus Heresy.

>"the Ip manager told us to stop hinting at it (at legions 2 and 11) "

heaven forbid the most potentially interesting aspect of 40k and the Imperium ever have any light shed on it

>>47787803
Ambiguity is a good thing sometimes, especially for 40k.

>>47787803
I don't know why you would want it. Anything present day GW could come up with will be retarded.

>>47787471
Hmm...so if Dark Angels are supposed to be some early prototype testing ground, does that make them the Alpha Legion?

>>47787803
Its better they leave it like that. At best, they could hint at potential tactics and why they were purged, but even that's going a bit far

>>47787803
So you didn't just miss the point of them completely, you also failed to realize that having nothing said about them is what makes them so potentially interesting.

Dreadwing-rad missiles, phosphex, war crimes
Stormwing-assault marines, drop pods, air support
Ironwing-vehicular slaughter, mechanised assault
Firewing-BURN THEM ALL JOHNNY, ALL OF THEM

>>47787471
I'd agree on the legion gimmick, but as well as the "armoury explosion" reducing the wings there's also the build-down and role change from legion to chapter, which would likely remove the need for the Ironwing (all tonks and heavy armour) for the most part, and the very nature of the Dreadwing (proscribed and rare as shit weapons from Old Night) means that it's less than appropriate post-Heresy.
Stormwing's (boarding assault) specialisation makes sense given that the DA had a big fleet, but that again would be reduced in the build-down, so the absence isn't surprising.

Fire certainly could be literal fire, like proto-salamanders, but I could also see fire support from big guns or aircraft

What other different wings could there be?

>>47787746
Opening 10-12mins

>>47788204
We know them all: Dreadwing, Deathwing, Ravenwing, Ironwing, Stormwing, Firewing (which had been suspected but not confirmed before)

>>47787968
No AL were made a little better then normal marines to cover all aspects or war. Gav talks about the hex-a-grammar-ton, the 6sides of war. Which are the ones shown. In the 6 wings.

There needs to be more of those guys in 40k.
But fuck, the last HH book I read was Unremembered Empire and that was at least 2 years ago. So I guess I'll have to wait when I have time once again and reread everything plus the new stuff.
