Coming back after an almost 10 year break trying not to embarrass myself too badly so please bear with me. Watched a bunch of games friends played kinda getting back into it. Trying to put together my first 500 points been toying with a few ideas let me know how bad they are. Playing Dark Angels want a solid foundation no RW or DW just yet just tacticals and some fire support. I'm trying to stay as competitive as I can while still fielding models I like, in my case lotsa power armor.

Librarian (Power Field Generator) 95

5x Tactical (Melta Bomb) 75
5x Tactical 70

5x Devastator (4x Plasma Cannon) 130
5x Devastator (4x Missile Launcher) 130
-------------------

Basically I wanted to field some Devs and couldn't decide between PL and ML and then thought why not try em both and get the most out of Prescience. So this was my starting point and I like that list in of itself. Then I started playing around with heavy weapons abit and if I lose one from each Dev squad and lose PFG then I have another 65 points to play around with. So a few more lists:

-----------------

Librarian 65

5x Tactical (Melta Bomb) 75
5x Tactical 70
5x Scout (5x Sniper Rifle) 60

5x Devastator (3x Plasma Cannon) 115
5x Devastator (3x Missile Launcher) 115
-----------------

Librarian 65

5x Tactical 70
5x Tactical 70

5x Devastator (3x Plasma Cannon) 115
5x Devastator (3x Missile Launcher) 115

Whirlwind 65
--------------

Librarian (Power Field Generator) 95

5x Tactical (Lascannon) 90
5x Tactical (Plasma Gun) 85

5x Devastator (3x Plasma Cannon) 115
5x Devastator (3x Missile Launcher) 115
------------------

Librarian can either hang back and support Devs or support Tacticals. I kinda don't like Whirlwind model so leaning away from that (also it's the only model I don't have for those lists). For me it comes down to a toss-up between Scouts and PFG. PFG seems pretty straightforward and I like the idea of having it but getting another scoring unit and five more models on the table isn't a bad idea either right? Last list beefs up Tacticals abit so can be a threat too. Ok tear it up and thanks in advance ;p.
