So I played a few games with my 1000 pt TAC dark angels lists and I got destroyed. I've decided that I'm going to try to focus on a specific list and just go for it. I realize that there is no flyer defense and I'm going to try my best to ignore it. Please don't offer ideas to fix the flyer defense.

Sammael - Jetbike 200

RWCS 2 extra apothecary, RW standard RW champion GL 250

RWAS vet srgt 2 plasma 2 extra & MM atk bike 229

RWAS vet srgt 2 melta 2 extra & MM atk bike 219

Darkshroud AC 100

Total 998

My plan is to get in there faces as fast as possible & hit and run at the end of their turn as to keep getting rapid fire on the plasmas and bolters and then assault again. I potentially thought about making room for a landspeeder with multimeltas but was unsure as i have plenty of melta on my bikers.

I did also think about possibly moving around points to get some power wpns in the squads as everyone would be assualting, but not sure.

Thoughts? Critiques?

I suggest you get the attack squads to 6 bikers each. I'd suggest options like losing the ac on the shroud, removing one of the RWCS and dropping a plasmagun for a melta/flamer to do it.

Use combat squads, and you'll end up with 6 scoring units in a 1000point game. Nasty.

Don't think you need PW for your squads. You want to keep your distance and shoot.

You've got two options. Dakka or Slashy.

You seem keen on the latter but I'll post list options for both.

Dakka:

Sammael- 200

RWCS x5: SoD, Apothecary, 1 RWGL- 295

RAS x6- 161
RAS x6- 161
RAS x6: 2 Meltaguns- 181

Total: 998

Slashy

Sammael- 200

RWCS x5: SoD, Apothecary, 1 RWGL- 295

RAS x3: 2 Meltaguns- 100
RAS x3: 2 Meltaguns- 100
RAS x3: 1 Plasmagun- 95

RWBK x5- 210

Total: 1000

I prefer the Dakka option; but to each his own.
