well seeing as how i played pure deathwing and pure ravenwing...both of my armies are now illegal with the new dex

 

i threw together several lists at 1850 using parts of both armies.

 

my latest attempt using 1 FOC

HQ1

 

sammael-master of the ravenwing speeder

HQ 2

belial-master of the deathwing-master crafted power weapon/storm bolter

troop

troop 1

-3 bikes X2 flamers,, 1 attached  attack bike/teleport homer

troop 2

-3 bikes X2 flamers, 1 attached attack bike/teleport homer

troop 3

-5 man assault terminator squad, cyclone launcher

troop 4

-5 man assault terminator squad, cyclone launcherelite

.venerable dreadnaught, extra armor, smoke, light, twin linked las cannon/missle launcher

.venerable dreadnaught, extra armor, smoke, light, twin linked autocannon/missle launcher

fast attack

1-land speeder tempest

2-land speeder tornado

3-land speeder tornado

points-1850

 

EDIT:

after some play testing i found that switching the second dread to another fire support platform works better and it also uses up the last 5 points in my limit

 

 

 

ok the site is being real screwy with my posts, it keeps moving stuff around so i am making a second

 

 

i have a second version of my previous list using the multiple detachment rules and 2 FOCs replacing the 2 dreads with 3 more land speeders

 

i also have a classic deathwingish landraider army.

HQ 1

azreal-225

command squad X5 marines, banner bearer, apothecary X1, plasma rifle X2, plasma pistol X1 .chain sword X2,, power sword X1 melta bomb X1

transport land raider prometheus, pintle mounted storm bolter, extra armor, light, smoke

HQ2

 belial-master of the deathwing with-terminator armor, sword of  silence/storm bolter

troop 1

-5 man assault terminator squad, cyclone launcher

troop 2

-5 man assault terminator squad, cyclone launcher

heavy support

-land raider crusader, pintle mounted storm bolter, extra armor, light, smoke

-land raider helios, extra armor,smoke, light

points-1848

 

Another move I came up with was this one
Azrael 225
Interogator chaplain 130
Storm bolter
Melta Bombs
Terminator 4LC 1 TH 215
Troops X 3 705
PF
Melta
Rhino
LRC Extra armor 265
Scout x2 10 man 290
Whirlwind x 2 170
Total = 2000
50 guys
azrael, interogator and terminators go together in the LRC (thats a lot of death in that land raider)

Here's my DA mech list. I might drop one of the 5 man Razorback squads for a Librarian with jump pack, so that I could split the assault squad into 2x5 man combat squads, one led by the chappy and one led by the libby.

Interrogator Chaplain w/Jumpack - 140pts

10 Man Tactical Squad w/LasCannon-Plasmagun, Veteran Sergeant w/Powerfist Rhino - 260pts

10 Man Tactical Squad w/LasCannon-Plasmagun, Veteran Sergeant w/Powerfist Rhino - 260pts

5 man Tactical Squads w/Meltagun; Razorback -150 pts

5 man Tactical Squads w/Meltagun; Razorback -150 pts

10 man Assault Squad VS w/PF - 260pts

2xPredator TL-Las/Hvy Bolter 260

Total: 1480pts

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but there's an army list forum for a reason...

Pallantide - your list is by far the most effective looking I have seen yet, but also the least 'dark angels intensive'. It takes the effective things in a normal Marine list that the Angels 'dex makes cheaper (Preds, mechanization, vet sarges) and utilizes them as best possible. The other lists are more characterful, but, sadly DA termies are slightly less points-effective than their Vanilla equivalents, at least without the two-wing combo coming into effect.

This challenge does make me want to buy the 'dex, though. I loved the 3rd ed "Angels of Death" dex, but havent bought a Marines subdex since then...

-Adso

Can a tempest be used in a GT?

Reworked a list and maybe this will work as an all comers list but we'll see. Land raider is always a very weird choice but have to have something to get the elites and HQ's into the fray without spending a turn as sitting ducks.

according to the rules published by GW they are legal to use without pemission in all games except when tournament organizers don't want to allow FW models. so check the rules for the event your planning on going to.

That was going to be my advice on the subject, always look at the tournament rules, but if they are FW models and you have the rules, you don't need player permission in a normal game.

Any more? Tactics?

id suggest for new DA players just take 2 10 man squads and a company master to start with and then build up from there (thats how i did it) then take somthing like a raven wing attack squadron and tool it out to be anti tank
