hey guys

im planning on starting a dark angel army and had this idea
for a company veteran squad with 3 pair of LC and 2 flamers
in a drop pod. the plan would be to deepstrike a little bit to the side
of my enemy army, wait a turn, and start flaming and choping a part of the army away

i dont realy know if this is an cool idea, but it sounds awesome in my head

any feedback?

Consider a real w/ a cc command squad with banner if devastation in LRCs with death wing assaulting terminators and or bike squads.

Company vetrans aren't very good at melee, but they are awesome in every possible way at range

what kind of other squad is there(thats not in terminator armour) with lightning claws then?

Command squad w/ power weapons and azzy for the 4++ (plus apothecary) are actually very good at melee. Also the vet squad can be fully kitted out with power weapons or LCs/power fists and storm shields. So yes. They can be very effective in cc

I but what about my current idea, would it work at all.
i never played SM btw

Probably not. They would get shot up and moved away from

Yeah five MEQ's wouldn't last very long at all. Especially with two flamer templates and twin lightning claws on three of them. They fall a lot faster than what you probably imagine.

What would work better then, give them all plasma weapons?
