Here's my idea (no codex as i'm on holiday) (sorry for reposting, really desperate for feedback)

HQ:
Belial
Deathwing command squad with FNP banner (AKA Banner of fortitude)

Elites:
Company veterans

Troops:
Tactical squad - X10 marines with plasma gun, combi-melts and plasma cannon dedicated transport rhino(X2)
Attack squad (to fire quad/hold down the fort)
Deathwing terminators - X5 with thunder hammers and storm shields and cyclone missile launchers
Deathwing terminators- X5 with storm bolters, assault cannon and chainfist

Heavy support:
Devastators with lascannons, chainsword, rocket launchers and flakk missiles X2 OR whirlwind (haven't decided)

Fortifications:
Aegis with quad gun

Love feedback, how many points, advances etc.

Thanks!

What wargear on the Company Vets? If nothing then there's really no point in bringing them.

Try and find points for a DW champion and heavy weapon in the command squad - The other company champs are wussies but the DW brings a S6 AP2-at-Initiative weapon, so he's awesome! Don't skimp on the heavy weapon, and if they're going with Belial then take a Heavy Flamer (pinpoint and twin-linked is fun fun fun).

For the Devies, I'd spring for Lascannons, since you're missing much ranged anti-tank and need to be able to take out LR Executioners before they get a go at deep striking termies.

Thanks for the fast feedback, what do you recommend for the vets? Also should I swap out the missile launchers for las's or what? I'll add in the flamer, but which DW champion should I use?

I cant stress this enough, wait to build your army until you get a codex. Dark angels are very unit specifics, getting a mish mash of units wont do you very good. For example putting vets, in a DW (deathwing) list, is not a good idea. If you really a heart set on deathwing, invest in terminators, they work best in large numbers. Also the feel no pain banner is 85 points, or 2 more terminators, for a feel no pain you probably wont get much use out of. Terminations have toughness 4, most weapons, that will be shot at your termies will be str 8 or higher, meaning your feel no pain will be worthless.

I would drop the fnp banner. Also the command squad is not that strong, you would probably be ok just taking another 5 man TH SH squad. That will give you another troop for objective holding.

My best advice is get your codex first, look at the points and then plan out what list you want before going crazy and buying a lot of models. Like I said a strong deathwing army with belial will be almost all terminators.

drop the deathwing command squad and FNP banner and get another TH/SS terminator squad

Well Desrok, what do you suggest for me to do? I'm trying to have the army set out before buying anything else. Enlighten me.

buy the codex. that was his suggestion.

Test out the FNP banner, it is worth it, especially if works outside the squad. Temries are expensive, keep them alive!

Bottomline though, test that gak for yourself, because dark angel banners are in the debate crossfires.

my opinion of banners is that they are too expensive for DW armies but seem much more effective in RW armies. Pure green wing will benefit but it just make more sense to codex jump (i'm sorry!)

Guys, surely swapping out the FNP banner for Deathwing banner would work.... And can't you read? IM ON HOLIDAY....
