Hey guys ive recently started getting into 40k, havent had a game yet though. I was wondering if you guys could help me pick out what I should aim to buy next towards having a decent size playable army. I will likely be playing Dark Angels.

So far the models I have are

About 40 standard marines
5 Dark Angel Veterans
4 Dark Angel bikes
10 Space marine scouts
One or two space marine captains.

What should I look to pick up next?

Thanks guys.

Look into transports, and heavy support.
Maybe some landspeeders, or vindicators.

Terminators.

Thanks guys. Termies and a rhino or two may be a decent start.

I now have two rhinos and a land speeder

I haven't managed to get a decent price on termies yet but plan to get onto that soon.

Also got a very cheap Dreadnought

Any tips on HQ's?

I currently have Ezekiel and Asmodai that I picked up cheap second hand.

Who are the best Dark Angel HQ's?

Thanks again.

Best HQs depend on your list; Belial and Sammael make Deathwing and Ravenwing (respectively) Troops, but that's not going to play into the construction you've got going very well; I generally just run a generic Company Master for the sake of having a cheap HQ, I don't field the special characters. I was looking into getting a Terminator-armored Interrogator-Chaplain to beef up my Deathwing/Ravenwing counterassault, though (my typical battle plan involves having my Tactical Marines blow holes in the enemy to cover my Deathwing and Ravenwing squads as they run up to the enemy and smash him in the face).

Also, isn't Asmodai not in the 4e Codex?

Im not sure haven't really checked. I started picking models up for their aesthetic value primarily as I got into this to paint them first. I do want to play though hence me wanting to get something resembling an army I can ply with.
