And then they lope around like overpriced buffoons for the rest of the game. If you think I'm wrong, try it out. I wish you good luck, but I don't think pure Deathwing is the best way to win with Dark Angels and no well built list should lose to that.

My standard 6th ed BA army only has one ASM squad with jump packs. The rest of the list shoots. That's how I plan to stop the Deathwing.

For the OP, just let your friend play against some other lists. BA assault has flaws galore, namely any I4 models that fight back. BA assault straight up loses to grey hunters and most CSM builds. And tyranids. And orks. And other stuff I can't think of now.

For 250 pts, Mephiston is now outright bad. Psychic hoods suck, power swords kinda suck, and the potential of psychic powers went up a lot for regular libbies that can join squad. He can't.
