Subject: My Attempt at 'Ard Boyz (Dark Angels)

Been Around the Block

Well I tried making a list for 'Ard Boyz with models I have and I came up with the best I could. I'm aware this list isn't that good:
HQ
Belial - SB+SoS
Sammael - Jetbike
Troops
DW Squad - 2x SB+PF, 1x SB+PW, 1x SB+CF, 1x AC+PF, Apothecary
DW Squad - 2x SB+PF, 1x SB+PW, 1x SB+CF, 1x AC+PF
DW Squad - 2x SB+PF, 1x SB+PW, 1x SB+CF, 1x AC+PF
DW Squad - 3x SB+PF, 1x SB+PW, 1x SB+CF, Cyclone
DW Squad - 3x SB+PF, 1x SB+PW, 1x SB+CF, Cyclone
Ravenwing Bike Squad (6 bikes) - 2x Meltas, Powerfist, Attack Bike w/ Multi-Melta
Fast Attack
Ravenwing Bike Squad (6 bikes) - 2x Plasma Guns, Apothecary
Ravenwing Bike Squad (3 bikes) - 2x Flamers, Power Weapon, Attack Bike w/ Multi-Melta
Land Raider - Storm Bolter
2x Landspeeders - Multi-Meltas
Total: 2500
Scroll down for newer list
I'm thinking the bike squad with the Flamers and the squad with the Meltas will outflank. The Plasma bike squad will support the DW with their Apothecary and Plasma guns. The Land Speeders will go kill tanks while Sammael flies around picking off units with his Plasma Cannon. Belial will join the Termie unit with the Apothecary.
Alright will here are the list of models I have that aren't in the list:
Chaplain on Bike
Librarian on Bike
MotRW Land Speeder
6x Veterans w/ 3x PWs
5x Terminators (2x LCs, 2x THs, 1x AC)
Land Speeder (weapons interchangeable)
2x Predator Destructors
Vindicator
Land Raider
Land Raider (can be Crusader or regular LR)
This applies to all models in my collection:
-All the Land Speeders have interchangeable weapons
-Terminator squad loadouts are not interchangeable
I'm willing to spend some money on buying new models, however I would like to spend as little as possible on them.
So let me know what you think of the list and if you think you can make a better list with the models I have. Thanks.

you could drop most of thebikes and get some LR's going deathwing benefits most frm armored support on the table, also if your not going for purist deathwing, get some more vindi's or whirlwind maybe to pin forces while deathwing advance.
also i woulds suggest ditching the speeders and getting drop pods+ dreadnaughts, deathwings main advantage is superio toughness and mobility through deepstrike and dropping.
here would be my suggestion for a list.

Belial 130pts
Troops
----------
DWT Squad 250pts
1xCF+SB,SB+AC,SB+pW,SB+PFx2

SB+CM,SB+pW,SB+PFx3
DWT Squad 240pts
1xCF+SB,SB+CM,SB+pW,SB+PFx2
Belial's DWT Command Squad 290 pts
2x TLC,1x Apothacary,1x standard bearer w/TH+SH,1x TH+SH w/ CM
Elites
-----------
Venerable Dreanaught 170pts

w/extra armor
Venerable Dreanaught 170pts

Whirlwind 85pts (for pinning squads while deathwing advance)
Landraider Crusader 265 pts

Drop Pod x3 150pts use these how you like.
gives you great felxability in setup and can really mess with another players head not knowing where the heavy hitting sis coming from first turn.

Try taking a DH inquisitor in terminator armor (elite) and then taking a whirlwind, a vindicator, a LRC, and a regular landraider (as a transport for the inquisitor). Then add an interrogator chaplain. Belial, Chaplain, and the CC squad roll in a landraider. You can equip the inquisitor with Holocaust and a Psycannon or Incinerator and use him to countercharge hordes.

An Inquisitor with a psychic hood would be useful since several nasty armies field psykers. I like the army as it is. You need to keep the enemy at arm's length.

I dropped three bikes from the Melta squad and dropped the Power Weapon from the Flamer squad to add the Inquisitor. He should provide some Psychic defense and something to fall back on if I get swarmed by hordes. I still have 10 points left and 5 points of Wargear left on the Inquisitor, so I'll probably upgrade his Storm Bolter to a Combi-Plasma Gun.
What do you think of this list?

Good list, keep it. Give the Inquistor a combi-weapon.

I'm actually considering giving the inquisitor an Incinerator instead of a combi-weapon. The Incinerator obviously lacks range, but I think it will prove very useful if a killy CC unit charges one of my Terminator squads and wipes them out. The Inquisitor can counter assault with the Incinerator and maybe even unload Holocaust.
I'd like to give the Inquisitor a Psycannon, but I just don't have anywhere to free up the points for it. All of the terminators have there weapons glued on.
