Give the Nephilim the real Avenger Bolter...thing. Also drop its price by about 50 pts. Dark Talon needs a point reduction, between 30 and 50 pts. Largely DA should get a price reduction across the board.

Just to make Dark Angels different, give them a completely new Tactical Squad kit (BA, SW, and GK all get one!), and include Grav Guns and whatnot. But here's the kicker, instead of including the Heavy Bolter and Heavy Flamer like the BA kit, include a Plasma Cannon (as it should be, since DA are all about Plasma This and Plasma That) and for S&G a Grav Cannon. And only allow DA to take the Grav Cannon in Tactical Squads. Because that would be awesome.

I have been mulling around the idea that DA should be immune to Gets Hot if they don't get access to any of the other Heavy Weapons or Special Weapons in their Tactical Squads. If GW wants to keep Grav away from DA because in the fluff DA don't use new tech, then they should be the absolute experts at using stuff like Plasma. I kinda want Greenwing to be a thing again.

Deathwing Knights and Ravenwing Black Knights should be some combination of S+1/T+1/W2 over standard Terminators. If Terminators are Elite, Deathwing Knights are the Elite Elite.

I could see Azrael being made a LoW. Maybe even Belial and Sammael as well. Probably just Azrael though.

They need a flying transport of some sort, but I would rather it was something different from the Stormraven (even if it has the word RAVEN in the name).

Include the Mortis Pattern Dreadnoughts in the Codex. DA should have exclusivity, at least on the IV and V models. Make an exclusive Dreadnought kit like the Furioso Dreadnought that can be made into different things like a Deathwing Dreadnought(with some cool Deathwing iconography) and Mortis Dreadnought (include a couple different weapon pairs, like the left arm Lascannon and the right arm Missile Launcher).

DON'T give them Centurions. SW and BA don't have them either, they should be a C:SM thing. Probably shouldn't have access to the LSS either.
