Balanced? I want to avoid special characters and just focus on playing with a balanced force that's painted up as Scythes of the Emperor with DA allies. This is an elite force with few vehicles, no Scythe terminators (because most got lost inside Hive ships anyways), and joined by allies who want to help them out since they're under strength.

I would do combi meltas on sternguard as the special ammo is just to good to pass up.

You need 2 storm shields in that termie unit to be as good as they can be but keep the rest shooty to get the most out of DA split fire rule.

I have my own crazy views on tact marines but that's just me from what I have seen so I guess they are okay.

I would highly consider two things for your hqs. If you are taking any chr that can have the 2+ save I would upgrade them to. It's just to good to pass up. I would also say that if you are taking dark angels I would always take a LV 2 psyker to get the most out them being allies, so you can have divination.

Oops! It is combi-melta x2 on the sternies.. Thanks for the catch.

I am trying to get a Librarian.. I think he will be my main squeeze once I do.

I could remove the Storm Shield from the Vanguard Sgt. That would give me 2x TH/SS DW Terminators. Should one of them be the Sgt?
