Here is a mostly Powered Armor Dark Angles. The only reason for the Deathwing is I am still working out the Plasma Cannons. Currently in my local Meta, the only AV14 I have to deal with is an Ork Battlewagon.

2000 Pts - Dark Angels Roster - May Dark Angels

Azrael, 215 pts

Ezekiel, 145 pts

Command Squad, 255 pts (Standard of Devastation, Power Armour; Melta Bombs x3; Chainsword x3; Plasma gun x3)
1x Apothecary
1x Company Champion

Deathwing Terminator Squad, 480 pts (Power Fist x7; Storm Bolter x7; Chainfist x2; Plasma Cannon x2)
1x Deathwing Terminator Sergeant (Power Sword; Storm Bolter)

[b]Tactical Squad, 210 pts (Bolt Pistol x9; Boltgun x7; Plasma gun; Plasma Cannon)
1x Veteran Sergeant (Melta Bombs; Lightning Claw; Combi-Plasmagun)

Tactical Squad, 210 pts (Bolt Pistol x9; Boltgun x7; Plasma gun; Plasma Cannon)
1x Veteran Sergeant (Melta Bombs; Lightning Claw; Combi-Plasmagun)

Devastator Squad, 225 pts (Bolt Pistol x9; Boltgun x5; Plasma Cannon x4)
1 Veteran Sergeant (Signum; Bolt Pistol; Power Axe)

Aegis Defense Lines, 100 pts (Quad-gun)

Ravenwing Darktalon, 160 pts

Basically the plan is to place The Command Squad were it can affect the two tactical squads. I think I am going to place Devastators in the ADL with one of the HQs.
I do not plan on Deepstriking the Deathwing, though it is still a possibility.

what happens if you have gakky luck and your plasma kills themselves, then what?

Ignoring the "but what if the earth falls out of orbit and satan starts raping kittens" scenario it looks... unfocused, even for an army proclaiming to be plasma spam.

Why a Std of Devastation? If you are going to spam plasma, go with Std of Fortitude and get the FNP bubble.

The dark talon fits your premise but I think you would be better served by a veteran squad with 2 PP or plasma... A Dark Talon has crappy armor and is a big threat. To me that converts into quick dead and a high potential for first blood.

Then it Happens; Odds are I will make my 2+ or 3+ save, if not such as the price for Plasma.

Ok, for me this is Spam Light, one of my other favorite 2,000 point list has around 30 Plasma Weapon in it.

I was thinking of going for the Massive Dakka, but it could work as well.
Personally I have been experimenting with the Dark Talon and I think I could do well with it if I could get it to show up before turn 4.
I also dropped the Champion for an Extra Plasma Gun in the Command Squad

Here is my Update:

To spam plasma I would spam tac or devastators to carry it.

well thats when khorne is haveing a good day and comes out of the warp and really really thinks kittens are smexy

Here is one list with 30 Plasma Weapons

I would split your tac squads up to 5 man units and take more plasma cannons. You already arent going to be very mobile, and you are going to be hanging around the command squad, might as well get more use out of the situation.

Tac squads can take 1 heavy weapon and 1 special weapon once it has reached 10-man strength only. Tac squading would not bring more PC (just imagine the cheese if there were no such restrictions).

They can take a heavy weapon or special weapon at 5 man in the DA codex, just so you know.
