Hello, all! I am new at this but I was wondering if this would be a decent list for the 7th ed. I've played about 10+ games with DA and 0 with BA. Just curious if this would work for casual play.

+DARK ANGELS+

HQ:
-Sammael - 200pts
-Ezekiel (which powers would be best?) - 145pts
-RW Command Squad (Standard of Devastation) - 185pts

Troops:
-6 RW Bikers - 161pts
-5 RW Bikers - 134pts

Elites:
-5 DW Terminators (Assault cannon) - 240pts

Heavy Support:
-LRC (Dozer Blade) - 255pts

+BLOOD ANGELS+

HQ:
-Mephiston (namely using Biomancy) - 250pts

Troops:
-Assault Squad (Meltagun) - 110pts

Elites:
-Furioso Dreadnought (Frag cannon, Heavy flamer, Drop Pod) - 170pts

Total: 1850

Ezekiel can join Mephiston, correct? If so, they ride in LRC, surrounded by bikers and the Command Squad behind it. The rest DS in their various ways (DW Assault, DoA, and IGS)
Should I just ditch Objective Secured and go Unbound?

Thanks in advance!

I would drop Ezekiel and change him with a Terminator LV 2 Librarian.
Divination would be my choice of power though.
That change should be 125 (Saves you 20 points)
I'd use those points to put them into a melta guns into your biker squads.

OR

Take off the dozer blade and grab a PFG put the libby inside the vehicle and drink rage tears.

Also, curious but why the assault cannon?

the alternative for dakka termies are CML, PC, and HF...


Dakka termies are pretty expensive for what they do. Most people (righfully so) prefer TH/SS + CML

But why even takee termies? Land speeders, attack bikes to go with your mobile army...

or a DP with combi vets... for less and better at what they do...


I also think attack bikes (which, if you will recall, are not part of your bike squad) have objective secured with sammy. Pretty nice.

just a thought

I understand with Ezekiel. If I take him and the Terminators out, I could add a Lv. 2 Librarian with a bike and PFG (150pts) Then add more bikes? With those points, I could probably go with a Baal Predator instead of more bikes. For your curiosity, Assault cannon is a personal preference.

Sorry, whats a PFG
