Hey,

First of all I'm not quite sure how you're able to run 3 HQ choices? I'd drop the company master as he doesn't seem to bring much to the table.

For an extra 15 points I'd consider upgrading the librarian to Ezekiel. He gains a mastery level and his mind worm psychic power is pretty horrendous.

I think dreads are pretty weak nowadays. I'd contemplate using the points from the dread, and the removed company master to field another DW squad with chain fists and the like, and upgrade the thunder hammers to DW knights. Their fortress of shield rules are pretty cool.

I'm not a big fan of big heavy support units with my DA, but saying that at times I do lack some heavy punch, so ill be interested to know how the land raider and vindicator get on. I tend to hammer my raven wing on first turn at max speed for all those lovely cover saves, the death wing assault in on turn two utilising the homing beacons. Then walk my tac squads on to hold objectives whilst the enemy deals with my DW and RW. Seems to work ok.

Let me know your thoughts.

**SoloFalcon1138**

He's going for a doubled FOC, but he is missing another troops choice.

**Khaine's Wrath**

Not entirely sure it's worth it for what he's gaining from the same codex?

HQ
Sammael (200 points) For 15 more points you can run Azreal making your terminators troops and letting you choose your warlord trait as well as gaining one of your tactical squads a 4++
Company Master with artificer armour and thunder hammer and storm shield (155) points Drop this as he does nothing good.
Librarian mastery lv 2 with thunder hammer (130 points) For the same points as TH you can have a Mace of Redemption str 7 ap 3 blind concussive

Troops
RW attack squad (95 points) Not sure what this is even here for. id suggest making it larger and also not sure what upgrades you have on this but if you want to run them max out the squad and add an attack bike
10 man tactical squad with plasma gun and plasma cannon (170 points) Grab a ride or drop for for them
9 man tactical squad with plasma gun sergeant melta bombs(160 points) same

Elites
DW terminator squad thunder hammer and storm shield (245 points) these are fine but for the points you can take DW knights which are better IMO
Dreadnought (100 points) why a plain dreadnought? No pod no nothing? my suggestion is if your taking one take the x2 autocannon load or or get a pod for him

Fast Attack
assault squad (115 points) these guys are worthless they do nothing for dark angels because they are a shooty based army
typhoon land speeder (75 points) Running one of these does nothing either get some more in there
nephlim jetfighter (180 points) One flyer isnt going to cut it IMO grab 3 or take none

Heavy Support
Vindicator (125 points) Vindi's ehh why not?
Land Raider (250 points) I like this try adding a DAKKA banner and walla 24 bolter shots in 1 round...can you say nasty?

total : 2,000

All in all you need to add 1 troop choice for double FOC, secondlly you need to take some things out and swap them around you can field more models that do more things for you then what you have posted. Also id suggest taking a command squad of some sort so you can actually gain some of the DA benefits. If not you might as well run SM

I would really like some suggestions
thanks

**RyanCoyle40k**

Okay Thankyou for the suggestion
I will make some changes

**Khaine's Wrath**

**RyanCoyle40k**

Troops
6 man DW terminator squad thunder hammers and storm shields (290 points)
6 man RW attack squad one plasma gun (180 points)

Fast Attack
3 typhoon land speeder (225 points)

Heavy Support

Total : 2,000 points

Sorry did not add that right.
get back to you when i get it sorted

Thanks

**Khaine's Wrath**

Looks like a fun list! But I do think it lacks 'staying power'

Theres a lack of use for azrael. Since I assume he'll join the DW. With storm shields they already have a 3++ so his cool s
'Squad gains 4++' is wasted. But I guess he could give them feel no pain on an objective. With one of his warlord traits. It does also mean though you lose your death wing assault, ax azrael and Ezekiel both cannot deep strike!

**SoloFalcon1138**

why Ezekiel?

**RyanCoyle40k**

I got it sorted heres my refined list

HQ
Azrael (215 points)
Ezekiel (145 points)

Troops
9 man DW terminator squad thunder hammers and storm shields (445 points)
8 man DW terminator squad thunder hammers and storm shields (400 points)
6 man RW attack squad 2 meltagun (180points)

Fast Attack
3 typhoon land speeder (225 points)

Heavy Support
Land Raider (250 points)
Vindicator (125 points)

Total : 2,000 points

Thanks

Ezekiel is a boss

**Khaine's Wrath**

Not sure about your thunder hammer obsession, and those squads mean they're too big to go into the LR?

**RyanCoyle40k**

Thunder hammers are just awesome
X2 stregnth and AP2

**Jpat1213**

Heres an idea, drop 2 terminators and 1 speeder and add in a command squad with BOD
put them inside the land raider run the bikes close by and enjoy

Also if you want that many TH/SS i would still suggest Deathwing Knights as of they rape face!

**Khaine's Wrath**

Death wing knights are much nicer. Aren't TH unweildy?

**SoloFalcon1138**

Ezekiel may be a boss, but where does he go? is he going to help the terminators? Your Land Raider is not going to hold that many terminators, a Crusader would hold the 8 man squad, but that leaves Azrael and Ezekiel walking.
