So here I go :

Belial : Pair LC

Chaplain : Storm Bolter

Dreadnought : Hvy Flamer, Plasma Cannon, Drop Pod

Dreadnought : Hvy Flamer, Plasma Cannon, Drop Pod

Ravenwing Attack Squadron : Power Weapon (sergeant), 2x Meltaguns, Attack Bike (with multi-melta)

Ravenwing Attack Squadron : Power Weapon (sergeant), 2x Meltaguns

DW Term Squad : Standard, Apothecary, 2x LC, 3x TH/SS, Cyclone (Belial here)

DW Term Squad : 3x LC, 2x TH/SS, Cyclone

DW Term Squad : 3x LC, 2x TH/SS, Cyclone

Devastator Squad : Powerfist (sergeant), 3x Lascannon, Hvy Bolter, Drop Pod

total : 2000 pts

So what do you think of it? I tried to make it a classic DW bu with a little more anti-tank.

The chaplain and the drop pods are not doing you any good.

I really want but 7 bikes into a deathwing list. 3 and an attack bike for homers maybe.

dev. squads are too expensive, even for DA. Plus they muck up target saturation. Go for a couple of preds or vindis like everybody else.

Now I like deathwing lists that do not over termies however 3 squads at 2000pts seems quite light to me.

For the dreadnoughts screw the plasma cannons and keep the multi-melta. Really dangerous around tanks!

The plasma cannons are about range. If you have an immobile army then you need to project power, not wait for tanks to choose to get within 24''.

At least please replace the 3 extra bikers for a vindicator. Or a typhoon, or attack bike. They are fearless and have scout they do not need numbers.

Dark Angels get cheap typhoons. You should defintely have at least 2.

Dreads are great. if you need point you could drop the HF's I don't see them getting much use.
Ravenwing Attack Squadron : 2x melta, powerfist(sergeant), Atk Bike, 3x Bikers

Ravenwing Attack Squadron : 2x Melta
I never liked bike with meltas. You have to get to close and then they die. I would switch them to Plasma. You also don't need the extra squad of 3. Turn that into another vindi or find 10 points and take to typhoon speeders. Oh and drop the PF too. Not needed. If you want allittle AT for him then give him a Melta bomb, if you have the points left over.

DW Term Squad : Standard, Apothecary, 2x LC, 3x TH/SS, Cyclone (Belial here)

DW Term Squad : 3x LC, 2x TH/SS, Cyclone

DW Term Squad : 3x LC, 2x TH/SS, Cyclone

DW Term Squad : 3x LC, 2x TH/SS, Cyclone

Vindicator : Hunter-Killer Missile, Extra Armor, Dozer Blade
Vindies are great but HK, is a waste. Dozer is ok for it. wish we had the segie shield though. Think you might need another one of these.
Total : 2000 pts

This list isn't to bad. Some minor tweeks like I have pointed out and you got yourself a DW army.
