[QUOTE="DandD, post: 4236686, member: 55168"] The only thing they have in common in D&D 4th edition is that background-lore wise, they formed the vast armies for their respective masters. Appearance-wise, they look different. Angels have wings, eyes, come from the Astral Sea, have a more metallic-feeling look to them. Archons are standart-3rd edition elementals with fancy elemetal armour from the Elemental Chaos who recruit other inhabitants of the Elemental Chaos by turning them into Borg (We are the Archons. Resistance is futile. Your elemental powers will be added to our own). Although they do have at least personality, unlike the Star Trek-Borg. Now, people can and should be able to complain that they don't like the look.
