Dark Angel Shoulder Pad
Horus Heresy Weekender III
During the Horus Heresy Weekender III, an audience member asked Tony Contrell:-
"if the Dark Angel books are coming out in the far future, couldn't you just do and release the Shoulder pads, like now?"
Tony riposted (handling it like a BOSS), "We could but what about all the other things we are working on?".....Silence prevailed.....Mark Bedford broke the silence with a joke.
Minutes later Tony, put the matter to rest with a flippant yet epic, democratic vote, of "Dark Angel Shoulder pads" versus a hypothetical "Warlord Titan" so the community was asked what would you prefer.
The 300 Attendees, about 200 voted for a "Warlord" and "7" Voted for Dark Angel Pads - Thus demonstrating that Dark Angels are the most despised and derided Legion and deserve no attention whatsoever.
This was rapidly adopted over the weekend as a Mantra / point of reference and in the Challenge, Giant Dark Angel Pads were sculpted and placed on everything to pile insult on to 1st Legion Injury.
Much fun was had, and the Dark Angel players got more resentful and broody as is their way!
Post this Tony Contrell was elevated to the position, Venerated Leader of the Resin Cult; Laurie Goulding just looked confused (no surprises there!).
