So looking to play dark angels for the first time. Local tourneys usually don't have more than one flyer and some lists don't have even that so not too worried about anti air.
Looking at running a duelwing.1500pts

Azrael
Company vets. 6 w 2 plasma
Ravenwing bikes 6 w 2 plasma srgt w meltabombs
Ravenwing bikes 6 w 2 plasma srgt w meltabombs
Deathwing 5 1 w assault cannon 1 w chainfist
Deathwing 5 1 w assault cannon 1 w chainfist
Black knights 6 1 w grenade launcher srgt w meltabombs

Small Army. Wondering if anyone who has played them before has any input on anything I should do different

Problem is, this list is, like many of its kind, unsalvagable.

Dual Wing works somewhat, but not in this kind of setup.
Drop Azrael for Belial.
Drop the Bikes.
Drop the Company Vets.
Get another RW Knight Squad.
Add another termie Squad, if the points allow it.
3 Termies, 2 BK and Belial work somewhat better.

Ok ill try that out

Also try and fit in some TH/SS to the terminators it will help. When you deep strike those TH/SS invulnerable saves will help you survive and smash.

Good luck

fill out the unit of Vets to 9, and give them combi meltas, get one of them a power fist, and couple of them melta bombs Attach Azreal and put em in drop pod. Now this unit is not worried about anything.. like that dread walker that ties fearless units up.

Scout up the bikes, and turn 1 you drop in Termies and Vet/Az Drop pod. Really tough to deal with, when everyone in Azzies unit has 4++

the only issue with a Deathwing army, that has more termy units than non, is that you still have to start 50% of your army on the board

I like the idea of azrael in a unit w drop pod. But what would I drop to put them in? And having to keep his unit and the termies off boardsis kinda suck. Expecially if I drop other units to get it.
