hi this is my first dark angels list never even played a game with them as i just bought the dark vengence, as iv'e been dieing to play an army with some terminators ( im primarly a dark eldar player, so im not used to using, but can't wait to use 2+ armour, psykers and drop pods) so i built (not finished) this list. (if it has a w/? it means i don't know what to upgrade it with)
Troops

10 tac squad
w/ plasma gun
in a rhino 190

10 tac squad
w/ plasma gun
in a drop pod
w/ locator becon
200

HQ

librarian
w/ level 2 psyker, terminator armour
130
(joining the terminators below)
Librarian
w/ boltgun free & force weapon
(with the devastator squad) 65

Elite

5 terminators
w/ 3 chain fists and assault cannon 255

Heavy

5 devastator squad
w/ 4 lascannon
156

total pts: 996
left over pts: 4



the main plan for this army is that the drop pod squad would deep strike close to the enemy about 12"-18" so that the terminators would follow up the next turn dead on target with no change of complete destruction and start to attack the enemy mabye assult there tanks because of the chain fists, they also have the level 2 librarian who would be using the divination discipline because it looks epic. Then the devastator squad is giving out anti tank, but they could have heavy bolters for infanty or missle pods with the flakk missiles for anti air and sit on home objectives, then the tac squad in the rhino is there for the target before the terminators come on the board don't want them to target there anti tank at the drop pod or i lose that beacon. I do beleive that was all of my plan, so the list isn't finished because i don't know what upgrades to take for most people like the tac squads or the librarian, any help would be nice. thx.

just changed some things you guys suggested and it does look a lot better, thx for the advice guys, I looks like this is my next project. =).

looks good to me im just starting a dark angels army myself but not sure on the way to go a im new to this army.
i have mostly deathwing (20) and looking in to getting belial so they can go as troops. i do have a ravenwing bike squad but not sure if i want to use them or not.
i like the idea of a devaststor squad as when ever ive played against them my horde of 100 ork boyz running towards them get hammered (my first army i have is orks ).
this list gives me some good ideas hope it works out for u

im new aswell so take my word with a grain of salt. your deathwing sqaud doesnt need that many chain fists in them id say drop 3 chain fists and add either a assault cannon or a cyclone missle launcher.

your dev sqaud seems kind of large to me id say drop them down to just the 5 and maybe throw a lvl one liby with prescience for the reroll to hit on lascannons will decimate most armor

as for the troops squads plasma guns always seem to be a good fit


again im new but this is what ive seen with alot of other lists and i hope it helps.

Check the DA FAQ. No TH/SS Sgts unfortunately, had to rip mine's arms off.

i magnitise all mine so i can chop and change with out damaging the model plus it helps if you want to use something diff for a certain game.

Awesome. I agree with some of the other post. Smaller dev squad and a libby with them. Get the DW an assault cannon if you deepstrike or cml in you are foot slogging. Like the list so far and update us as it changes.
