Are There Image Galleries of Dark Angels Models on The Dark Fortress?
Updated
Yes. The Dark Fortress hosts image galleries of Dark Angels and Unforgiven models in a section called Oratorium. The site describes it as "Inspirational image galleries featuring Unforgiven models," so it is aimed at hobbyists looking for painting and modeling reference rather than rules or tactics.
Where the galleries sit in the site
The Dark Fortress is a fan resource for the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter, covering tactics, galleries, banners and decals, reviews, hobby tips, and army lists. Its main sections are:
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Headquarters | Latest site updates, news, legal and other site info |
| Bulletins | Front line bulletins from the Dark Fortress garrison |
| Tactica Reports | Tactics, company dispositions, orders of battle |
| Tech Reports | Comment, army lists, special scenarios and rules, game statistics, book and rule reviews |
| Librarium | Downloadable printable banners and decals, DA names and reference, link banners, links |
| Oratorium | Inspirational image galleries featuring Unforgiven models |
| Augurium | Listed alongside the other sections in the site navigation |
If your goal is specifically to look at painted Dark Angels or Unforgiven miniatures, Oratorium is the section to open first.
What the galleries are for
The site frames Oratorium as inspiration. In practice that means you can use it to:
- Study how other hobbyists paint Dark Angels colour schemes and Unforgiven variants
- Get ideas for model posing, basing, and unit composition before starting your own project
- Compare your own work against a range of finished examples
It is a visual reference, not a rules or list-building tool. For tactics and orders of battle, the Tactica Reports section is the relevant one.
Other visual resources on the site
Galleries are not the only image-based content. The Librarium section offers downloadable printable banners and decals, plus Dark Angels names and reference material and link banners. If you want something to print or attach to your own models rather than just look at, that is where to go.
Practical notes
- The site is in English and is organised by the section names above, so use the top-level navigation to move between Oratorium and the rest.
- The homepage footer lists an RSS feed, Twitter, and Facebook, which are the channels the site itself points to for following updates.
- There is a Patreon link under "Connections," but the site material does not state what membership includes or what anything costs, so treat any support option as something to check on the Patreon page itself.
- The site carries a legal disclaimer, privacy terms, and a terms of website use policy, and it accepts article submissions if you want to contribute.
