27 April 2002 This web site was previewed at the 40K Cantina's monthly newsletter pending a full review next month. Many thanks to Jon and his gang at the Cantina which is a wonderful E-Journal for the 40K afficionado. Wow! Twenty days without updates! This time again we have two Dark Angel Strike Forces being presented in the Librarium Corona Intimus A small detatchment from the first company of the Angels of Vengeance was submitted by Neil Dutton aka Plastictrees while Greg Dausey submitted a mixed Dark Angel force under Master Menes. The Adeptus telepathica section has been further revamped with a short description of each link provided for the benefit of the visitors. Many loyalist chapter home pages have been added and all links updated. More upgrading of the web pages have occured. I've never been satisfied by the way I had designed the Halls of Honour and the Web Awards pages. Finally I've redone them in a way that I think fits well with the Fortress theme. Feel free to feedback on what you think of these sections. And finally I've managed to update the Site Map as well.

23 February 2002 Two whole months without updates! Well, slowly the Fortress site is being reactivated with two new armies in the Librarium Corona Intimus and yet another piece of fiction by Stephen King in the Librarium Fabulosus section.

Today this site celebrates it's first birthday. Leaving its infancy behind and forging ahead to continue to support the Unforgiven chapters in their life long crusade in the service of the emperor. The Keeper of the Fortress would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed and supported this site since its conception. To celebrate the event the Fortress is hosting a Dark Angel Army Contest open to all Dark Angel players. 09 March 2002 An article on an easy but effective way of painting a power weapon contributed by Zach Tong has been added to the "Apothecarium Technologia" section 16 March 2002 Another Dark Angel Force, Strike Force Angelus Enigmaticus,  has been sighted and is showcased in the Librarium Corona Intimus  An intrigueing piece of fiction gathered from imperial records gives a different perspective on the persona of Cypher.

YEAR 2002: THE WILDERNESS YEAR This is a record of the evolution and progress of this web site based on the documented updates, thought processes and events. I hope it may act as a record for posterity and as an idea of how this site evolved from a simple place for displaying my images of the Shadow Guards Army to one that hopes to be the ultimate resource site for the Dark Angels.
