I want to use Azreal with my space marines (any chapter) and more specifically a combat unit. What combos would you utilize him to the best of his abilities? Is he even worth his points to help boost a combat oriented unit? With the units he would bring he could bring Ravenwing/Deathwing he could be potent. Thoughts?

Mr Raynor

Leading Honour guard in a land raider might b the best assault option - giving them a 4++ to go with their 2+ and power axes would be sweet but expensive.

Can't remember if DW stay as troops if DA is an allied detachment, otherwise I would build around this:

BT CM master (decked out)
Full honour guard with Emperor's standard
Azrael

They hop in a LRC taken as dedicated transport from either a crusader squad or DW squad (to make the LRC scoring).

Sadly, Both DW and RW needs to be Primary detachment to become troops.
With the Combined Arms, though, that's pretty simple! Grab Azzy, 2 troops of any of those and call that the Primary Detachment.
Grab another of SM and go wild with it.

Azreal
Iron Hands Chapter Master
Honor Guard
Landraider

Azreal bring Dearhwing & Ravenwing as troops with Blackknights
Iron Hands bring tactical squads with rhinos

What about the follow "deathstar" at 3k pts?

Azreal, Ezekiel, Asmodia, and Tigirus?
