3 bikes

3 bikes

Storm talon

Thats about 1500.

I dont need to worry about Av14 at the moment my main opp had no land raiders monoliths etc.

What would you recomend on this. Models remaining are: librarean. Chaptermaster/captain. 2 limited eddition chaplains.

I cannuse proxy for special characters no issue. But i want the theme to be dark angels (ready for the new book)

I play blood ravens also so wanted it to be slightly different from them.

Also what would you recomend yo bump thos up to 2k?

So .... which part of this is the list?

So the list i put together was:

(with C:SM)

Chapter master with relic blade

Lib with epistolary

2 units of 5 terms

2 units of 10 tac

2 units of 3 bikes.

it left me with 120 odd points after all the upgrades
So i threw in a naked storm talon.

Cheers.

That was the list

Its 2 boxes of dark vengeance dark angels with the upgrades WYSIWYG and a storm talon.

Do you feel like some modelling? I think you may be able to use a command box set to make the bikers into a command squad on bikes, this is a really solid choice. The models i.e. apothecary and banner are solid choices in DA codex now as well.

I would run the bikers as 4 bikes with 2 plasma with an attack bike with MM. Usually I want them scoring or BA so they can get some FNP.

The terminators are not that great. What does work is putting 5 in a land raider and then have 5 with 2 assault cannons.

Plasma weapons are really useful but just not versatile or needed as much as any other weapon.

Stormtalons are usually needed rather than good.

The next purchase should be two razorbacks, this gives a lift to the librarian and they can roll behind the terminators to get cover saves.
Then storm talons work better in pairs. I wager it will not be in the new codex

Thats a good idea actually... Would it be more effective than the bikes though?

Well the terms... Are terms theyre ok and i was thinking of pitting them. (1 of 10) just to see how effective it could be.

This list was intended to be a stamd and shoot list... So the bikes and the raven were the only manouvrebility...

Ive not got the money for the raider/ razorbacks... Nor the points...

The storm talon. I appreciate may not be in the new codex but should that catastrophe happen. I have a blood raven army waiting for some flyer reinforcements... And a quick respray and some drybrushing cant hurt.

Was planning not to put any DA icons on the raven until i knew.

Also im running it with the vannilla book until the new angels dex comes out... Hopefully before xmas (thats when my wife gives me the army)

So for 2k.

Turn the bikes into a command squad.

Landraider for terms

Perhaps rhinos for objectives?

A new cool unit from the new book? ;-)

Oh also. Can you split the terms into combat squads? Just about what you said about the 2 assault cannons in a 5 and 5 ina raider.
